GH3 Accessories at DVinfo.net

If I upgrade from a GH2 to a GH3, what accessories can I keep? I know all my GH2 m43 lenses will work as well as any m43 adapters I have. But does the GH3 use different batteries and chargers than the GH2 uses? I have a bunch of Sandisk 16 GB Extreme cards labeled "30MB/s" and a "10" inside a "C" which I take to mean Class 10. I'm guessing these will work.

Anything else I should know?

Batteries are different. (Larger and longer lasting) You'd probably have to test your cards to see if fast enough if you were running one of the high bit rate formats the GH3 is capable of shooting.

Thanks for the info and confirmation of what I thought. Just out of curiousity, what class SD cards would be good for GH3 high bit rates? I was under the impression that class 10 were pretty high.

Oh, one more thing: if I decide to upgrade, what are GH2 bodies going for on the used market?

We just recently saw brand new GH2s for under $500, so I don't think they will sell used for much more. Same thing happened with GH1. I bought two of them brand new from Samy's for $399 each after the GH2 came out.
