Just an FYI: Apologies if this has been posted previously, but I thought this was fun.
Panasonic has a website for ordering accessories and replacement parts for most of their products. I haven't ordered anything via it myself, but it looks like anyone might be able use it, not just authorized repair centers. Anyone here tried it?
http://www.pstc.panasonic.com/Epartr/PartsListChoice.asp
Note: Enter "dmcgh1" for the model number, and then click the button labeled "List Parts by Model" (_don't_ press return or enter).
Anyway, you can buy accessories such as over-priced SDHC memory cards, a replacement GH1 AC adapter (or cable), lens caps & hoods, and so forth ...
... or for the more adventerous: Buy a replacement LCD panel, colored case parts (build a multi-colored GH1?), resistors, capacitors, IC chips, and so forth.
Caution: Component-level repair parts may be difficult to install without referencing a Panasonic service manual for the GH1, and incorrect installation or handling may destroy your GH1 and/or void your warranty.
