Panasonic’s LUMIX DMC-GF2, a micro-four thirds camera, which big P started teasing earlier this month now has a concrete release date and price for the Japanese market. The successor to their GF1 (which was released last spring) will hit stores over here on December 3 [JP] – one month before the US and Europe.
In the US, the camera is likely to cost around $700. Japanese buyers will need to pay $721 for the body, $961 for a lens kit (LUMIX G 14mm F2.5 ASPH) or $1,081 for the “LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S.” lens kit. A body case will cost another $60.
Panasonic plans to offer the camera in three colors: white, red, and black.
