Anyone point me to some good m 4/3 forums where the talk is about Pannie cameras like GH2 and GX1 and not 99.9% about the OM-D?

No offence to all, but I am growing a little tired of the OM-D fervour - looking at the posts you would think nobody has bought the GX1 or dares mention it here.
 
hmm, but there you have to wade through all the LX and FZ posts...

I'm a member of the UK Lumix Lifestyle community forums but the traffic on those is pretty light - hardly any GX1 posts there either. Wondering now if maybe hardly anyone has bought a GX1 in the UK - not sure why as it is an excellent camera, especially now it is about £100 cheaper body only than at release.

... or wait a bit, the G5, GH3 and who knows (please lord) the LC1 inspired GL1? ;)

It is an excellent camera, but it is also quite expensive relative to features - though not build quality which I think is excellent. It was always going to appeal to a small percentage of the camera buying public.

As for the lack of posts on the GX1, at least that's some confirmation that there's not a lot fundamentally wrong with the camera.

No fiascos , always a good sign.
 
The forum always vacillates between the latest camera releases. When Panny releases a camera, the forum is dominated by Panny discussion. In this case the forum has swung to Oly more strongly than normal because the OMD is a significant change in design and sensor from all previous Oly m43 bodies.

Fleeing the forum because of the strong reaction to the OMD would, IMHO, be an even stronger over-reaction. Just wait a bit.

So, in 3 months when everyone have an E-M5 and the new GH3 comes out and everyone talks about that one, shall I remind you then? And ask you to take your Panny talk elsewhere? Or whine that the world does not turn around me?

Oh, don't be so sensitive. Maybe you didn't read the rest of the original post... he didn't ask for OMD discussion to end, he's simply looking for other outlets for panni discussions. Who's whining?
 
Thanks for coming to my defence there

People are quick to get the wrong end of the stick or shoot people down in flames.

I'm not looking to leave this forum, just asking if there are any Pannie specific ones I can look at too !
