OMG - this would be very cool. I'd be the coolest person in Canada! Even better that Engadget contests are now open to Canadians!

I could us a Zune or two!

I have owned the GH1 for about 6 weeks.

The two things that I would like changed for this camera are:

The price is too high. I agree that there are justifications for a relatively high price (great, multi-purpose lens, best video quality, etc.) but I still feel that $1,500 is a couple of hundred $ too much. Too make matters worse, Panasonic inflated the price even more in Canada. The MSRP in Canada is $1,899 which translates to a foreign exchange rate of 1.27 - the exchange rate over the past few months has been hovering around 1.10 which means the fairer price would have been $1,650. Overpriced and gouged does not make for a good long term relationship.

Low light performance is good, but not great. I think if the stock lens was 3.0 or 3.5, it would be better in this regard. I suppose other lens options will be available, but one of the primary reasons I bought this camera was that it is smaller than most DSLR's and the stock lens has great versatility with the 10x zoom.

Having said what I would like to see different, this is a great camera and I certainly do not regret my purchase (although would have preferred to pay a few hundred less). The still quality is excellent up to 800 iso and the video quality and versatility is the best currently available in a DSLR. I shoot all my video at 720p/60 and everyone who watches these videos are stunned by the quality.

I'm a bit late posting to this thread... but I really enjoyed reading the comments. I am in the market for a new camera, having given up on P&S mostly due to photo quality issues, particularly in low light situations.

In a full size DSLR am leaning towards the Canon T1i but would also consider the Nikon D90. However, having come from smaller P&S cameras, I worry about the portability. This is really leaning me towards the upcoming Panasonic GH1 (June release). At debut, it seems like it will be pricier than it should be, but it seems to be an excellent balance of picture quality, movie capability and on the small end of the scale for DSLR.

The Panasonic G1 seems to get very good reviews and the early reviews of the GH1 are also compelling but incomplete.

Any thoughts from the experts in the crowd would be greatly appreciated.

I looked seriously at buying a Netbook in December. I wanted something with a ~10 inch screen, decent storage and decent battery life. Being in Canada, my options for netbook selection were limited and prices were quite a bit higher than in the US. Getting any model with a 6 cell battery was going to run me more than $500 by the time it was all said and done.

In the end, I picked up a Sony Vaio VGN-T350P for $350 off eBay. It is only very slightly larger than most netbooks, the Intel Centrino processor is rated slightly faster than the atom processor and I get bluetooth and and DVD burner built in!

My unit came with 1GB of RAM (unfortunately, the maximum) and a 60GB hard drive. The battery last for between 4 and 5 hours and is readily available for replacement at around $60.

I could not be happier with my new (old) netbook. Three years ago, it retailed for $2,599 so I got a discount of $2,249 :^).

I'll trade you for my 14" TV!

I love the contests that are open to everyone (particularly Canadians.. aren't we the 51st state anyway?).

Would love to win this!

Do you have any idea how cool I would be with an iPhone in Canada? PLEASE let me win this!

I'd love the Sansa...

Give me Elvis!!!
