Last we heard from Panasonic, the DMC-G1 super-light was tentatively priced at $799 for US markets. Turns out this is fact, at least if the officials at Panasonic’s booth here at CEATEC are to be believed. What’s more, they say the G1 will hit stateside shores in November, so if you’re in the market for a new camera, start saving now. In related news, we got our hands on the G1 again, this time in red (the camera, not our hands). The digital viewfinder is still a bit disorienting, but the proximity sensor that turns off the big display when you’re up close is a nice little trick. Pics and what-not below.
