Panasonic DMC-GH1 DSLR camera - body only - £249.00 inc. del. @ Harrison Cameras

merkin51found 2 years, 6 months ago

This is a crazy price for a fantastic camera, I imagine because it's about to be replaced by the GH2. Nearest price for body only I can find is £449.99 at Park Cameras.

The camera is great as standard. However, if you get lucky and get a pre-June 2010 model, you can "hack" this with modified firmware to get HD video bitrates of 40mbps+. The quality needs to be seen to be believed - many feel it matches and possibly surpasses the £1600+ Canon 5D MKII for HD video. If HD video is high up on your list, the hacked GH1 also beats the Canon 7D or 550D. Please research before you flame me for that comment! I know there will be lots of Canon lovers on here...

I received a hackable GH1 on the 10th October from Currys.co.uk, so there are still lots out there in the wild. It might be worth a phonecall to Harrison, they should be able to tell you what they have. Like I said though, this is still a fantastic price for a standard GH1, hackable or not.

EDIT: They also have the GH1 + 14-140mm kit lens in at £739 which, again, is a great price.

Don't worry about Harrison, they're one of the good guys. Independant, family run business:

Also just noticed they have the GH1 + 14-140mm kit lens bundle for £739 which is also a great price. The 14-140mm lens is a stunner.

Not down, just takes a while to load. Prob because its on here and his website has prob never seen so much traffic since being posted on HDUK, lol.

It's Micro Four Thirds, which now has a nice range of lenses from Panasonic and Olympus. Of course there are plenty of adapters out there for other mounts, just pickup a Pentax > M43 adapter and away you go. I use all my old Nikon primes on my GH1 with an adapter, works flawlessly.

Just tried again and works fine, just be patient, the site is just going a bit slow at the mo.

So annoying when people expire likes this, how do you unexpire?

Kiwikeen, site is slow. But just try again, it should allow you to add to basket.

By the way this is not a live stock site unless they have 50000 off them on their shelves.

Anyone know of a good cheap lens for this camera?

Finally got it sorted, this deal is listed in their facebook page also, so it's not a misprice. I just hope they are actually only selling units they have in stock, only time will tell I guess.

Thanks for posting :)
