Lumix GH1 - Is the price overkill?

[nonblonde]

Hi guys

May I know why GH1 is soo expensive.

Which nikon or canon models that GH1 is similar to in term of the spec & feature.

It seems that the lumix GH1 is not that popular here in this forum. I'm not able to search more for this product.

you can probably find info on it under the four-thirds subforum
Nikon and Canon do not make an equivalent product at the moment. The GH1 is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera.
If you require the high-def video, probably the canon 550D comes closest.

It is the kit lens of the GH1 that is expensive.. The 14-140mm lens is very silent when zooming and focussing.. The video quality from the gh1 is also pretty decent..
