I'd liketo buy the PANASONIC LUMIX GF-1 camera kit - preferably white body, perhaps silver, w/20mm f1/7 lens and boxed accessories. Must have English language option for menus. What reputable online retailer has this in stock, will sell this to me,
Just moved the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF1 from my want list to my have list on !
Just saw this on Amazon: 'Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 12.1MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable...' by Panasonic for $899.95
Panasonic GF1 sounds like a promising compact camera

Records ZS3 HD moving pictures with a good 60 frames per second with 1280 x 720 pixels. It uses the AVCHD format (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via lite AVCHD, which stores less data than other formats so you can get more minutes of HD moving images before running out of memory . Just set the camera mode in iA, aim and shoot. The camera does the rest. It automatically determines the most suitable mode stage and helps to correct the blur, focus, and lighting problems. With the iA mode, it is easy to get results, plain beautiful. In ZS3, iA mode can not be used when shooting moving images.The ZS3 packs a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR with 12x optical zoom in a compact. This versatile photographic tool lets you shoot everything from panoramic views of the vast wide-angle 25mm setting plans dynamic 300mm telephoto. And the ability to make the peaceful purpose of the system allows you to capture even subtle nuances of performances and scenes in your travels....
The Panasonic Lumix GF1 is the answer to the Olympus Pen and the second "rangefinder" style camera Micro Four Thirds on the market. It blows away both the EP-1 Pen and also the new EP-2 Pen, and is - surprisingly - good enough to replace all but the best digital SLR entry-level.
The device has been examined through the Internet, but strangely some of the most important points were not written about. These issues are particularly relevant when it comes to compact cameras, the performances vary much more than digital SLRs.Here, we answer these questions, and we hope to fill the gaps. The GF1 is here coupled with the Lumix 20mm ƒ1.7 "pancake" lens.
Shutter Lag
Shutter lag is the best reason to buy a digital SLR. Compacts are notoriously slow to activate when you press the shutter. The GF1 is as fast as a sub-$ 1,000 DSLR, take a picture when you ask him. You can capture a fleeting expression on the face of your subject and generally trust the camera to take the picture you want.There is even a satisfying thump as the shutter closes and opens (Exceptionally, GF1 keeps the shutter open until you fire). In short, it feels like a film camera. Wide range of portable GFCI products - comply with NEC & OSHA.
