Isn´t on the market here but already a firmware update:

Sad but true:

* Please note that Auto Focus in [FHD] does not work.

Ouch.

Well, thats sort of a specialty lens for wide angles of course and it should not be hard to focus while recording. Lets not get spoiled here. None of the other VDSLRs on the market do any autofocus whatsoever while recording.

Why do we care about that lens again?

Isn't the kit lens 14-140?

Exactly. They can keep it.

I'm mostly confused because mines auto focuses in FHD???

I can't see the site so I don't know wtf they're talking about.

This is the kit lens sold with the G1, not the GH1. I'm surprised there's no AF in fhd, seeing as some of the Oly 4/3's are supposed to. This might indicate that they will sell the GH1 with this as a cheaper kit in the EU though.

Atleast one store in Sweden has the GH1 with 14-45 lens as a kit. I even mailed them and they confirmed this. No pricing yet and no date.

That sounds like good news. Hopefully that'll be the case elsewhere in Europe.
