People complaining or hesitating because of the price of the LT should take into consideration the free 5y warranty (in Europe at least) and the insanely good support from Panasonic. As a Red owner I had to pay some costly DHL + insurance fees to send my camera, and the 1 to 3 years warranty extension costs 2850$ for an Epic-W or a Weapon. Panasonic just sent me a DHL guy to pick up my camera, paid for everything, can lend me a camera if it's taking more than a few days, and the guys are answering crazy fast.
