Are you looking to purchase a new camera? If so, you may wish to wait until January of 2011 when Panasonic releases the new Lumix GF2. Early reviews say this camera is a major improvement over its predecessor in a number of areas. Not only is it smaller and lighter, but is also has a Live MOS sensor that ensures your pictures will be better than ever. Although no official price has been listed on the Panasonic website, many reviewers have already addressed this issue. Here is what they are saying about the upcoming Lumix GF2 prices.
If you are looking to purchase the Lumix camera with a 14mm 2.5 pancake lens, expect to pay around 599.99 euros for this item. This kit comes with the camera body as well as the LUMIX G 14mm/F2.5 ASPH lens. This lens features the micro four thirds mount and has a minimum aperture of F22. As competition will be intense when this camera is first released, you may be able to get a better deal though. This price is only what reviewers have estimated it will be.
If you decide to upgrade to the Lumix GF2 kit with a 14-42 standard kit zoom, then you may be asked to pay 629.99 euros for this particular model.The lens on this model is the LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm/ F3.5-5.6 ASPH./ MEGA O.I.S. You will get the same camera body, but will get the versatile lens if this is more to your liking. This lens is the equivalent of a 35mm camera lens with a range of 28mm to 84 mm.
For those who want a variety of options at time of purchase, you can choose to go with the Lumix camera package which includes the camera body along with both of the above mentioned lenses. This kit will set you back 729.99 euros. As you can see, the Lumix GF2 should be a hot item with all who wish to obtain a new camera as this small device has so many features. Again, this should be good for the consumer as Lumix GF2 prices will drop as competition among retailers increases. This may be just what you need to get a great camera at an amazing price.
