Anybody looking to get into shooting video, or make the switch over from Canon, might be a good time to pull the trigger.

Pretty impressive. Do you have any ski footage with the kit lens? Or just the GH2 in general?

Snowboarding, but this was mostly the kit lens and a couple vintage primes:

This is mostly the Lumix 7-14 f4:

I honestly cant decide if I want to make the switch from Canon. I dont have much $ invested in canon glass wise. I do like taking pictures. If I were to get this, I would also get the tokina 11-16. Can someone enlighten me if i should make the switch or not? I also dont like how the gh2 feels like a toy.

It's still showing up for me. Damnit. Don't know if I should just get a 400€ loan from the government (I can for like 1.5%/year. Won't have to start paying back in 10 years)....

It's gone.

Tried to pull the trigger. To all those who are still seeing it, it's some sort of Amazon update glitch. I urge you to try it yourself, but it didn't go through for me.

Yep it's gone.
280$ savings, wow! That was a great deal.
