Jeez, was all drooling in my keyboard and everything until I read that last page. :undecided With this and the shipping snafu's, almost seems like Panasonic is trying to create hype.

Well it's good to know that there will be firmware updates for the GH1. Hopefully they read the petition and are listening. :)
 
God that would be just like them Mike.

Here's hoping the burst shooting gets up to (it won't) 12. Undercranking fast-mo shots or choppy normal speed shots at picture resolution? Yes please!

Yeah other than ones that ban non-panny batteries "for your safety." What a crock...I suppose it's better than a firmware update that makes your non-panny batteries explode in camera and uploads a message voiding your warranty.
 
Please refer to it as the "Japanese" model. We have international visitors here and don't want to offend anyone.
 
Well, we can always hope that the delay signals even more improvements. I'm hoping, but not expecting.

Time will tell. It always does.
 
Despite the eagerness for updates, I guess it's better that they don't rush out something perhaps buggy - I recall Sony releasing a PS3 upgrade that 'bricked' a number of PS3's, thereby requiring them to go back to service centres to enable them to be restored to working order. That upgrade had to be withdrawn immediately too - slightly too late, though... There might be a temptation at the moment, with the various manufacturers trying to leapfrog each other with features and performance, to release faster than they should.
 
ha, yeah exactly i just found out delivery of my camera was attempted yesterday when i was at work, and is now waiting for me at the post office for pickup, i didn't shoot squat with it yet, there's no way i'm going to make it a guinea pig! and i mean no offense to any italians :S

but this is very exciting news, my lucky number has always been 22, i **** you not.

Yeah, my wife had a bit of a chuckle about that (she is Japanese) but I can see a possibility of some people taking it to heart.

In any case I talked to a staff member at Panasonic Japan and she assured me that there would be no English menus, now OR in the future...Maybe she lies. Interested in checking the firmware and I'm with Issac on getting a little excited at the chance of more firmware updates (thanks for the petition and effort by the way).

Cheers,
 
Hopefully there is more than they claim.

Shutter speed below 1/30 is interesting. But I fear this is the reason for the update:

"[ Warning ]
After this firmware update your Panasonic Digital Camera cannot be operated by 3rd party batteries (non genuine Panasonic batteries)."

Well...now that there's a firmware available what's to stop someone from hacking it...
