M, Seems to be no shortage of the GH2 around here. I'm well aware of Panasonic building a model line, I still think their interests and mine are moving in different directions.
Olympus will have their "pro grade" Micro-FourThirds body soon. And some new lenses. But I'm enjoying the GXR so much I don't know if I need it until the model that replaces the E-5 shows up.
