Can't you speed it up a bit?

43Rumors has a lot to answer for. And it isn't getting any better. I think it was in May that they pronounced my GX7 dead.

Anyhoo, when is a camera model 'dead'? Olympus USA still list the E-5 body for $1,700, so they are not easily dissuaded. "It's not dead, it's pining for the fjords". You can expect to enjoy many years of stagnant unresponsiveness from the manufacturer regarding your PM2. Perhaps it is only stunned after all.

For once 43RUMORS is behind. B&H, Adorama, and the other usual suspects stopped listing the PM2 quite a while ago. Olympus still lists the PM2 with a two lens kit as both new and refurbished for next to nothing, but I tried ordering one about a month ago to use as a backup and every attempt met with OUT OF STOCK. Obviously, Olympus is a little slow in website updates.
