In US it’s difficult to find the GH2 in Stock and it is almost impossible to find the Black model. Right now Wolfe’s Camera has 6 of them in Stock but you have to pay a $100 extra to get them at Amazon (Click here). If you are tired to wait than you might buy it. At least this is much better than the over $2.000 other third party shops are asking for it right now! The Black GH2+14-42mm will be in Stock within the next few weeks at Amazon (Click here). Other direct shop links: [shopcountry 16254].
Meanwhile the all E-PL2 black kit (camera+lens+flash) had a $100 price drop at Amazon (Click here).
Veyr interesting. All new Olympus accessories like the MAL-1 led and Penpal module are still NOT available for preorder anywhere! Not in US and not in Europe. Weird, because they were supposed to be in Stock late January/early February…

Yes, I’m really wondering why the accessories for the E-PL2 have not been released til now. It’s really frustrating.
Hey Admin, any rumors regarding Olympus’ upcoming PRO m43 body? or EP-3? It’s been a while..
Yes I have soemthing I am working on. You should know more about it soon!
I’m sure this has been stated before but Panasonic North America is frankly incompetent. They can’t even meet basic production for a camera introduced months ago. Many people have been waiting for the camera (including myself) for months to no end and now I see that resellers are jacking up the price because they can…. So long Panasonic – the repsect I had for you is now long gone with the games you play.
Before Xmas there was a place selling them for $2500! Then a few for $2000 and $1900.
$100 more isn’t bad.
Open a browser window. Make a Tabs for B&H, Adorama and Amazon at the GH2 page.
Keep checking, keep refreshing. And ORDER if you see one.
Kenmore Camera shows a black GH2 with 14-42mm lens IN STOCK.

This is why you should throw your money to Olympus. They have cameras available for you to shoot with right now, and they could use the sales!
They have the cameras, but not the neat accessories and lenses they have been promoting along side them.
Really? Where’s my OM-D E-M5? It seems the whole Micro Four Thirds platform has production and availability issues.
I pulled the trigger on the same price deal on Saturday, FedEx says it’ll be here tomorrow.
Well if you live in so cal you should check out samys camera. they had a good amount in stock. I looked online for the cam at their site and said they were sold out of the black. I happened to call them to see if they had it in by chance that same day and they said they had a few. What i am trying to say is that their online stock might be different from their retail store stock.
