The UK price of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 has now been confirmed. At the UK press launch held at Wembley stadium yesterday, Panasonic revealed that the World’s first Micro Four Thirds camera will cost £599 when it launches on 1st November. Various deals will be available to retailers, including a £50 cash-back, free 3 year warranty and a 1/2 price second lens, so the street price of the G1 may well fall to £499 before too long. The 45-200mm telephoto lens will cost £329.99 and also be available on 1st November. In the US, the price has been confirmed as $699 (both quoted prices are for the G1 with the 14-45mm kit lens).
