Panasonic isn't selling the body by itself.

But I think there are a lot of G1 owners out there who are interested in getting the 14-140mm lens, and thus you could probably sell it relatively quickly on a micro-four-thirds forum.

I'm gonna hold onto it, will be handy for stabilized and car mount work.

Me too. A lot of people pooh-pooh this lens, but I think they're stretching. We've seen perfectly fine night shots made with it already. And looking on the market, I haven't found a comparable zoom that's faster than f3.5-- and this lens being significantly smaller is going to have less ability to get light anyway.

But the great thing is, if you already have a collection of lenses that meet your requirements, then you can just mount them on the camera and sell the kit lens.

i guess it becomes more of a question of where to find your 12mm-18mm to cover your 24 to 35 wides. And osmething that isn't particularly slow either.
 
I'm still torn on whether to go with Canon FD or Nikon F lenses. There seems to be no discernible difference in either availability or price.

In other news, I guess Phil Bloom has some footage and will (hopefully) be posting later today. I can't wait!

The Olympus 12-60mm + 11-22mm could do the job, never used these lenses, but they're highly rated.

Check out this footage. It goes back and forth between an f2.8 50-200mm Olympus and the kit lens.

The kit lens pulls focus quite tidily at one point where the boat passes the buoy! It certainly does hold up in the bright light light.

Yeah flickering and banding in almost every post - exactly what I feared since this camera was announced. I own a Canon HF10 which also does 17Mbps max AVCHD and I've always wanted more bandwidth. The newer Canon's now go to 24Mbps which helps a lot.

Will have to see when Philip or any other qualified person starts posting and hopefully they'll use Vimeo and not Youtube see we can tell if it's web compression in all these shots.

Nice, i take it though that neither of those lenses have nikon F mounts?

One is the kit lens in MFT mount, the other is a regular Four Thirds lens on an MFT to FT adapter (which panasonic sells).
