Thanks for that information. That rules it out for me.My first disappointment is that the only charged battery I had handy was an aftermarket one for my G1 and thanks to Panasonic's firmware safeguards, the camera refused to turn on with it...
As long as Pana and any others try this, I will not be buying their cams unless their batteries are not as ridiculously priced as Panasonic's.
Euro 89.50 is the list price here, for that stinking battery.
Aftermarket battery (that works better and lasts longer on a G1), in comparison, is ~4 Euros/shipped.
