Is Lumix GF2 Camera Worth the Price?

There is only a week left until the new exciting Panasonic camera is going to be released to the public. It has already been priced and dated in Japan in November last year. Just like it's predecesor, it has been released in Japan one month earlier, Japanese retailers started to buy stocks since December 3. In US and Europe, it is going to be released at the end of January, and most likely the date will not change.

The price in Japan is a bit higher than in US. In Japan people are paying 1 for the camera body alone, 1 for camera+LUMIX G 14mm F2.5 ASPH lens kit and 81 for camera+both lens kits. A typical Panasonic camera case is priced . The colors are black, red and white, but in UK the silver version is soon to be released.

The price was announced in India also, it is 42000 INR.

GF2 predecesor, GF1 M4/3 camera hit the stores 2 years ago, in spring, the model was nothing out of the standards. The price however was about 0 for the camera and one lens and compared to this, the new Lumix gf2 price is very affordable (please consider the next exciting features included, like the touch screen functions and ability to span 3d pictures. Also, the lag is extremely small, non existent I might say).

I'm absolutely sure that in US and EU the price will drop after no more than 2 months because of the competition. By the end of the year, Panasonic Lumix GF2 prices will drop consistently as new products will be released on the market, like the expected canon d800 which will also be released in February this year.
