GH1 First impressions and footage

Although I've never in my life have shot a take longer than ten minutes I went there and voted yes but would be more happy if the EU Parliament in their infinite wisdom would remove these asinine random taxes that doesn't have any purpose. After all we could just grey-import the bugger from Hong Kong.
 
Are these the same crew who decided that a firewire input on a camcorder would be classed and taxed as a vcr?!
I would imagine the tax was put in place to help cover the ever growing costs of politicians expenses ;-)

Apologies as i asked this question in a diff thread.. but why can't panasonic make a firmware update that disables the time restriction , downloadable from the us site... so it imports into the uk with the restriction so all the bollocks with the taxes apply and then we can " fix it " the internet is newer that the stupid taxlaw so doing that couldn't be mentioned in that law!!???

****note sorry i only just read philips blog mentioning 2007, i thought it was part of the " no inputs on camcorder "rules that predate the internet"**
