Because specs are basically meaningless.

A majority of the NSers in M&A cares a lot, which surprises me

From the specs it seems like a GH2 +1080p60 and a 3.5mm mic jack. No firmware hack though, which is a big part of what makes the GH2 so great for video.

Ah sorry, that's the kit

"The Panasonic G6 price will be £629 (around US$958/ AU$934) including a 14-142mm kit lens. It will be available from the end of May."

I take this back, given that its significantly cheaper than a gh2 I might actually get one at the start of the next ski season.

Prices in Britain are fucked,
8/900$ for a gh2 body used,
1000$ for a g6 with 14-140(sells for 5/600$ here)
=profit(not literally)

That's assuming the prices are actually going to be those quoted(I certainly hope so)

Doubting the legitimacy of earlier source.

Amazon has it for preorder for 750$ with 14-42 though. Not bad

Was there hacks for the G5? Because if so they might have hacks for this later on!
