Panasonic Australia is not a good barometer for pricing. Over the years (and I've owned a number of Panasonic cameras and been active in forums) the Aussies have complained bitterly about pricing and actually order from B&H when the gap is particularly egregious.I would not be sure about the price. I posted here http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7131 a link about the AU price, no one seemed to comment?? :talk028:
If you do the exchange rate calculation it will be more like US$2400. Even if you take into account the bigger market I'm not sure it will make US$1500. ?? So who knows?
At that US price I can have a holiday in the USA buy a GH1 and pay the tax back here and probably still be better off than the AU price! :toocool:
Sometims you Flat Panel TV may matter on synchronizing with the frequency.Our problem here is that we need a 'PAL' version, capable of shooting 25p, not 30p.
If the G1H is region agnostic, I don't know at this stage. It would be great!
hehe, thanks, good to know I'm not the only one. Noodles and beer and a GH1 sounds like a great idea!Tim,
I am very annoyed about the Oz RRP too. I don't know if the market will change this, but will have to wait and see. I am sure there will be grey imports, with options to buy the body only or different lens combinations.
Or, who knows, we could hop on a plane, buy one in HK or Singapore, down some noodles and a beer in down town and come back home next morning with a camera at half price.
True Terry, we generally do pay more here, as we are about 10% the USA population I guess we don't have much buying power.Panasonic Australia is not a good barometer for pricing.

Not quite right. The camera supports both NTSC countries and PAL countries. In PAL countries 1080 is 25fps. In NTSC countires 1080 is 24fps.The camera shoots 1080p for 25 or 30fps which is absolutely great for those of us who need to supply broadcast material. The 24fps is for the 720p option from what I understand.
Our problem here is that we need a 'PAL' version, capable of shooting 25p, not 30p.I think outside of Japan NTSC/PAL is a menu option-- but I don't know for sure.
You'll be able to do this, in PAL mode the camera is true 25p.Many of us looking at this camera's video features, need to deliver proper 25fps masters to broadcast clients
I should have included SCARLET, but that is quite a long way before it will be released (very late 2009 or 2010) and the price difference will not necessarily provide 5 or 8 times better quality images.The GH1 will never compete with REDONE and I'm not kidding myself.
