Deal alert: Panasonic G1 (black) w/14-45mm for $500

We interrupt our scheduled programming with a deal alert! You can have the black Panasonic G1 with the now-old 14-45mm kit-lens for $500 with free shipping from Amazon.com itself. Previously Amazon offered the red at $500. This is the first time (as far as we can tell) that the black G1 drops to $500 at a major retailer (price and availability is not updated automatically in this blog-post).
