Also, maybe a forum Admin can add GH3 prefix, and change the prefix on this thread accordingly.

Awesome, wonder if they will have the battery grip version as well or if that's extra?

Good find!!

I wish they can do better than this with kit lens. I have my eyes on the d600.

Bleh. I was thinking $1000... Might take a little longer to earn it. Hopefully this means the ol Gh2 will stay available a bit longer at half the price.

How much is the XLR audio accessory add on?

I don't think that's available yet. I haven't seen any details on it.

$1299? Awesome news. When they mentioned it would be priced higher due to its pro features, I was starting to worry. Guess I won't be buying a C100 for $6500 after all.

Looks like they took down the pre-order page. Bummer.

The link takes you to the Samy's Camera page for the GH2.

It does now. Before it took you to the GH3 page, but the pre-order button didn't work.

What did the GH2 run when it first came out?

Curses! And I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

Where is the wheel on the front of the right handle side????? Where is the official panasonic press release?

What do you mean about the wheel? There are 3: one by the shutter button, and then on the back: one top-right, and one (flat one) surrounding the menu/set button and directional arrows. Panasonic official press release won't be until tomorrow, when Panasonic officially announces it.

So this one is a little higher in price then. At least, as far as we know right now. It's to be expected though, looks like we are getting more.

Just walked into the Samys in Santa ana and put down a pre-order. Only 10% down and first in queue. Cant wait!

I'll pay $1300 for a body as long as it has the specs that have been listed. I've always been happy with the image from the GH2 even before the hack, the things that are the most important to me are, Higher res LCD, Clean HDMI, Headphone monitoring and the XLR accessory would be sweet even for an additional fee.
