Panasonic GH2: the first shutter-less camera

According to eoshd.com, Panasonic will unveil the the first shutter-less camera – the GH2 during the 2nd half of 2010:

“My source confirmed that Panasonic’s strategy was to divert investment into the development of a global shutter so that they could save money in both R&D and manufacturing costs of the mechanical shutter, a part which was developed because it was required for the original G1, GF1 and GH1 cameras.”

    interesting “news”, but I am wondering, why would the source be talking about that now? Smells like a controlled leak, to make the heads turn to Panasonic, instead of what the other brands will most definitely bring :-P

    hopefully the camera is not as ugly as the previous models.

    “Controlled leak” for sure. Took a lesson from Microsoft.
