I'm beginning to cave

dc... This seems like wise move for you. Afterall, your already using DSLR's and the GH2 will work the same way with a smaller footprint....
There's a store in DC that has them in stock. Contact John1027 for details.

Interesting. What sort of photographs do you like to make? Do you make large prints?

I am fascinated by the range of cameras that people use. I would love to know the type of output you would assign to each of a D700, D7000 and GH 2.

I would not have the variety of final output to justify such a collection.

 

When I bought the GH1 I was sure that it would last me a long time and I would not be tempted by the successor. Well, I unpacked my GH2 today...

Haven't had much chance to use it, yet (of course, it started raining again as soon as I walked out of the office). My admittedly strange first impression: I always thought of the shutter sound of my old Leica R4 as an old Jaguar, the G1 is more like a Toyota, and the GH2 sounds like a Ford. But faster, somehow. Besides that, everything looks fabulous. Well, except that I may have to sell a few Leica lenses to afford an extra battery. So exciting :smile:

If I shot movies more, I think I'd be tempted to move to it from a G/H1. Otherwise, I don't think the improvements warrant an upgrade (unless you have an itchy trigger finger on the "buy" button  ). No doubt I would pick it over the GH1 if I were to buy today, and were looking at that.

But being a GF1 owner, I am hoping us small rectangular box owners don't get left out (GF2 is a bit of a disappointment, mostly on the reduction of buttons, I can accept the loss of the wheel, just give me two more custom fn buttons).

 

It all depends on how you look at it: I got a good price for my hacked GH1, so the upgrade to a brand new GH2 cost me a bit over $200 - a no brainer and worth every penny, even if stills are my priority.
