As far as we know, the western hemisphere should still have the
mirrorless GF2 from Panasonic penciled in on its January 2011 must-own
list, but Japan is (predictably) getting the party started a little
early. Panny has shot out a brief statement this morning to say that
its home nation will receive the GF2 -- alternately attired in red,
white or black -- on the 3rd of December. That's a good couple of
weeks before we expected to even have pricing for North America and
Europe, leaving the rest of us to just pout and stare at the calendar
with disdain. And if pricing is what you need, Impress has some of its
usually deadly accurate estimates to offer you, with the GF2 body set
to cost ¥60,000 (about $720) by itself, ¥80,000 with the F2.5
14mm pancake kit lens, or ¥90,000 if paired with the 14-42mm
glass. We'd advise not taking straight currency conversions as
indicators of pricing anywhere outside Japan, however, due to the
atypically high value of the yen at the moment. Wistful sighs, on the
other hand, are free everywhere.
