I know a lot of people placed orders for the GH2 when Panasonic Direct had that bit of teaser inventory. I'm just curious to know if they have shipped anything since then.
I ordered in Dec and they pretty much refuse to tell me anything except that it is back ordered.
I ordered one the beginning of february. I email them all the time and they always say it's backordered due to " heavy demand". It doesn't matter that I mention that stores seem to have them or that I know their manufacturing facilities don't have enough yield. The answer is always "backordered due to heavy demand" which makes me think that this is their intention, to create demand through controlled release, to drum up more desire.
Have you tried to get in touch with them since? Sounds strange and something must be wrong with your order. Ordered one on Dec 19th and another one on Dec 23 and got them both in January. They were both late Christmas gifts.
As I just mentioned in the main thread I just got off the phone with PD and they will have two big shipments on March 12 and March 21. The lady said I was scheduled for the first shipment. Ordered thru EPP on Feb 9th, black body. We'll see.
I used the facebook discount and another online coupon I found to order the GH2 Body in black and the 20mm lens for $1093 including tax. Just ordered it on monday. Sounds like my chances of getting it anytime soon aren't so hot, but am gonna wait it out a little in order to save a couple bucks. Ill keep ya posted.
I ordered a black body from PD in mid January, waited two weeks, cancelled my order and placed an order for a silver body with them, got it a week later in early February.
Ordered a silver body and 20mm on feb 15th. They told me they no longer had any back order problems. Got the lens about a week later. No word on the body yet.
Got a black gh2 with a 14-140 lens from hunts photo and video and got it the same week.
