Panasonic GH1 available as body-only - at least in UK

Fans of the Panasonic GH1 body - at least those in the UK - have some good news today from Four Thirds User - the camera will be available in a body-only configuration in the UK starting in January 2010. We do not know if this will also be the case in other markets, but we'll probably know one way or the other in the next few days.

This is also good news for GH1 fans as it signals that the camera will remain "alive" longer. Maybe that's one way for Panasonic to increase the supply of GF1 - by diverting some buyers to the GH1 :)

The best price for the current GH1 + 14-140mm kit is $1300 via J&R World.
