Want To Handle A GH3 Before Buying, NC
I'm considering upgrading from my GH2 to a GH3. I love me GH2 but it's a bit too small for my hands (which I don't think are all that big, but ...) Where I live, there are no camera stores that will stock GH3s. Heck, there aren't that many retail camera stores of any kind!
Is there anyone in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina with a GH3 that would be willing to let me try it out for size? If so, send me an email through the site. I'm guessing it will take all of 5 minutes to simply hold it in my hands and see how easy/hard it is to reach the back camera controls. Those are the ones that I have difficulty with. Thanks. D |

Dennis, I'm sure you are aware, but just in case, don't forget that you can return a camera from most reputable vendors without issue.

Re: Want To Handle A GH3 Before Buying, NC
There's always the LensRentals.com option... probably under $100 for 4 days of testing. Understandably it's easier to just see the thing in person quickly, but depending upon your contact's location and considering gas prices and time, not necessarily cheaper...

Re: Want To Handle A GH3 Before Buying, NC
I've done the "rent before buying" thing on a few biggish-ticket items... typically I'll rent something new that I'm considering right before a job where I can use it, so I get a thorough working knowledge in addition to a few days' familiarization.
