Got mine from Kenmore Camera last week. They had enough to fill backorders and put up some on the website for sale. They are getting a new shipment in sometime next week, and they are not all accounted for yet, so you might want to give them a call if you want one.

Yeah, right.

GH3 is "ON ORDER" with them. If you check with Panasonic's online store, well over there it is on "PRE-ORDER." Not a helluva big bean bag of a difference, eh?

What I cannot fathom is, how can this camera get to Washington state next week, when Panasonic's online sales store is telling me today that instead of the indicated 28 January shipping date, they will not have it until sometime in February?

Strange brew, huh? I am now thinking.... maybe they had an initial shipment sneak thorough somehow, something was found to be defective, and they pulled the product until they fix it the problem?

The Panasonic online sales people sell all things Panasonic and this being a nitch item compared to TV's, BD players and a host of other high volume items has most of the call takers clueless about the GH3. They just read what they see on the screen.

Mine shipped from Amazon USA in November with no problems that I've found so far. I think Panasonic did say there would be a delay on batches because they had a issue with manufacturing one of the parts. I'm sure they will start hitting the pipeline soon.
