Sadly sadly Amazon US delayed the in Stock status for the GF1. They promised us to have the GF1 in Stock today but now it says “in Stock on December 16!”
The good news is that Olympus surprised us all and they have the Olympus E-P2 Camera with 14-42mm Lens and Electronic View Finder

It’s a small world, if Europeans do not wish to wait, they can order from the US.
Adorama and B&H are happy to ship the camera.
Tell us more about “$50 cashback from Amazon US”. I’m not seeing this anywhere.
Great reporting over the last few weeks–thank you for it all! This is a major development phase for mft.
The cashback action from Amazon just ended: https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/personal/PayPhrasecashback?apaysccid=so_cashback_4Q09
Amazon did have the item in stock, but probably filled their existing orders and ran out of stock. I got mine on 12/10.
Amazon has just put my preorder for the E-P2 in “shipping soon” status, due to be shipped in a few days!
For out of stock things on Amazon, we ran across an interesting trick that alerted us within seconds of when a Canon we were looking for came back in stock. It’s free and I guess people are using it for hot items like Zhu Zhu pets or anything that is out of stock there. It runs in the background on your computer, and actually monitors stock at Amazon, and and sounds an alarm the moment your item comes back in stock. It’s great for avoiding inflated third party seller prices, and instead getting the regular retail Amazon price. http://www.azproductsnatcher.com
Thanks Debf!
We recently got our Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera with the Nikkor Zoom Lens by using a website our neighbor told us about. She said it would make you first in line for an Amazon find, and I didn’t believe her until I tried it. http://www.azgizmo.com It’s FAST and FREE to use, and when something is out of stock it watches the inventory levels for you. When they put stock into inventory this site grabs the first one and places you on the purchase screen. Kinda like jumping to the front of the checkout line at Walmart with the product in your hand! I was tickled. Hope this helps someone.
…except I don’t care about the E-P2. It seems like an odd choice for an E-P1 successor and falls short. I would prefer to go with no new camera for the holidays rather than order an available E-P2. I’m holding out for new Panasonic cameras next year. If Olympus releases something that catches my eye, they might get my purchase then, but it certainly won’t be for the E-P2.
