Looks to be a nice upgrade and a real winner

On the Panasonic web site which lists the GH2, http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/lens/index.html , the following statement does appear at the bottom of the page. "LUMIX G Micro System cameras can be fitted with the mount adaptor DMW-MA1 that allows the use of a wide variety of high-performance Four Thirds lenses, of high-performance Four Thirds lenses, including Leica D lenses."I like the physical size of the GH2. I am looking for an E620 upgrade so I hope that the GH2 will autofocus my 4/3s lenses

Nice review, but . . . . .I've been telling myself that my GH1 is good enough, but the linked LL preview broke me. Sold the GH1 today. I'm hoping they decide to offer a GH2 kit with the 14/2.5.
Now I'm telling myself that I really don't need the CV 25/0.95 .
I thought I read somewhere that the GF2 would not use the same sensor as the GH2 - so that either implies reduced or even improved performance compared to the GH2.Nice review, but . . . . .
. . . . . I'm going to hold out and wait for the GF2 . . . . .
. . . . . and the CV 25/0.95 is going to be shipped on or about 11/08/2010.
Life is Grand!

. . . . . for now I plan on waiting for the GF2 . . . . . not in a rush, not interested in video at this point in time, do love the size of the GF1 and hope they keep the same body size or close to it, improve the EVF that could be used with the GF series, and hopefully take as many of the GH2 improvements and perhaps others to keep the GF series fans coming back for more . . . . .I thought I read somewhere that the GF2 would not use the same sensor as the GH2 - so that either implies reduced or even improved performance compared to the GH2.
There will be a body only option for the GH2. I've seen $899 quoted.The LL first look was interesting on several fronts. Beyond the High ISO improvements, the improvement in AF speed and the 16MB image for all aspect ratios are also interesting. I like how they are providing photographers several programable buttons for accessing things we want to quickly. Seems like a nice design. What is a real shame is that Panasonic insists on selling this with a lens rather than offering a body only option. That makes it a pain in the rear for all of us who already have the lenses we want.
I will likely replace the G2 with the GH2 for the high ISO noise performance, AF speed, frame rate (5 frames per second), and 16MB. Looks good.
I had heard that, but that option disappeared from B&H's web site and from Amazon as well. We will see if it comes back...There will be a body only option for the GH2. I've seen $899 quoted.
