Considering the Panasonic G3 costs the same amount, Panasonic must have messed something up here.

Ah, it's $699 with the 14mm, $599 with the 14-42mm.

Sooo, its 100$ less than a G3 body only?

voyager · « **Reply #3 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:29:11 PM »

For the 14-42mm kit.

lisandra · « **Reply #4 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:32:56 PM »

wait, now im more confused. How much is the G3 body only and the GF3 body only? or the kit on both?

voyager · « **Reply #5 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:34:03 PM »

G3 kit is $699

GF3 kit is $599

lisandra · « **Reply #6 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:34:58 PM »

oo. I thought the GF3 would be cheaper (100$ cheaper)

voyager · « **Reply #7 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:36:16 PM »

It is.

lisandra · « **Reply #8 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:37:30 PM »

No no, I mean 100$ cheaper than it is now

lisandra · « **Reply #9 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:38:15 PM »

But I guess its 2 different markets these cameras appeal to...

voyager · « **Reply #10 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:38:54 PM »

I'm going to guess that the price will be down to $400 very soon. At that point it may appeal to me.

lisandra · « **Reply #11 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:41:23 PM »

What if the G3 comes down to 500$? would it appeal to you then?

voyager · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2011, 09:43:03 PM »

Heh, the G3 already does appeal to me, but I like the size of the GF3 more.

Yes its interesting in the pricing area huh. That G3 price is darn good in fact. Not enough difference and a few things worse than the G2 by the looks for handling, but the low noise is tempting.

Probably wait for a new version of the GH2 and the G2 will do fine. Its a very tempting price though for the GF3

I like EVF cameras though I guess.

I don't see MF workflow changing any time soon.. it's pretty easy now with a one touch or the left 4way to get to 10x on the G1, I suspect the G3 hasn't changed anything.

if it carried over from the GH2, magnification can also be accessed via the thumb wheel on manual glass. Easy as pie!

Yes, the 10x to 14x is nice... Does the G3 have a wheel?? I have to double check now.

Yes it does.
