UPDATE:GH2 is out of Stock again
As usual the deal will not last so be hurry! Amazon has two silver GH2 cameras in Stock (Click here). The GH2 in Stock status is continually changing so keep checking those three websites from time to time: Amazon US, Adorama, BHphoto.

I noticed yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon that they were showing in-stock at Amazon, so I snapped one up. UPS tracking shows it on route, so it should be in my hands within the next few hours. Yippee!
If anyone is still having a problem acquiring the GH2, here’s a little tip that might help you grab the next one that arrives in stock. Try to get in the habit of checking multiple times a day every day. I bookmarked the product page on my phone and made myself check 4 times a day and that is how I was finally able to grab one last week. Additionally, I would check to see if maybe you could subscribe to the product page through RSS so maybe you’ll receive live updates when they get new cameras in stock.
I preordered from Adorama 2 weeks ago, camera arrived yesterday even though their webpage still shows backordered from the manufacturer. They will fill preorders as they come in without advertising the camera in stock.

Pleased you have your order – but it’s a bit more complicated than us simply filling orders without advertising that we have a camera in stock!
When an item is heavily back-ordered, (which happens with new releases often because we don’t charge until an order actually ships), as soon as we receive a delivery all the back-orders will be filled first. As you noted, we operate a very strict procedure which ensures that orders are fulfilled in the order in which they are received.
If, for example, we have 300 delivered, and 295 pre-orders, there are actually only 5 available for sale.
We could receive 50 orders within the space of a couple of minutes (from the ‘phones, the website, from our partners such as Amazon and buy.com).
When the 295th unit is picked from the shelf, the next 5 orders that came in (and there is no way that this can be over-ridden) will be picked and allocated in strict order of receipt. And in a split-second, we are out of stock, again!
BTW I’m only ever an email away for advice or after-sales support regarding any order!

Yesterday I received my GH2 from Adorama preordering it about two weeks ago.
