Where can I buy a GH2 for $600???

[John D]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but Andrew keeps writing how a GH2 is only "$600" at this point.  Where?!  The lowest I can find is $750 for the body only.  I have one GH2 already and want to get a second for my work.  Any advice?

Thanks!

$750 is still a bargain. Quite often used they dip to $600.

There's one for $630 Buy It Now but it is in Taiwan.

Yea I lucked out and found mine on ebay (in the US) for $579 a few months ago.

I'd wait a little while. I'm sure a nice deal will pop up.

Thanks to you both!  I can't buy used so I'll play the waiting game.  The issue for me is getting the purchase approved by my work.  I've been told that anything close to $500 is fine, but I know $750 would be pushing it.  Nickels and dimes to many, but that's where I'm at. 

Thanks again!

I bought my GH2 a little while back, new, with the 14-140 OIS lens for £800 (about $1200), new with 1yr guarantee.

I can resell the lens, no problem for £400 ($600) given by ebay completed sale levels.  That leaves me $600 for the body only, for a brand new camera with 1yr warranty.  bar-gain!!

now, the best bit is as I'm VAT registered (ie a registered business), I can reclaim 20% back from the tax man

I did have to wait a while on ebay till something came up that matched my criteria, but came up it did

My advice would be to buy the camera with your own money, and rent it to work for $100 per day  ;)

it was on amazon lightning deals for 499 a few months ago. Wish I had the money/confidence to jump on it then :/
