If, like we are, in love with Panasonic GH Series you will be please to hear that the Japanese manufacturer finally announced the launch date of its new GH3 Series in Japan.
Starting from December 13th you will have to choose between the Body Only GH3 (130,000 Yen), the GH3H and its 14-140mm lens (190,000 Yen) and the GH3A and its X VARIO 12,35mm lens (220,000 Yen).

Now while there is no doubt that the GH3 is an incredible camera, Panasonic’s new steep price just make me wonder why on earth anyone would spend THAT much while Nikon and Canon offers impressive alternative at pretty much the same price. And to add insult to injuries I bought my GH1 with its Stock 14-140mm at launch at around 130,000 Yen, the very same price for the GH3 in its Body only version… Seriously Panasonic we know that you are desperate for money but don’t push it!
