That's good that they are offering it as a body only instead of just the kit, that's the one thing about most m4/3 cameras is that you can only usually get it as a kit.

Am I right?

Am I right?

No. It is not yet available, hence an order placed today would be a pre-availability order.

Whoosh! Intended joke went way over your head. Don't feel bad though. There's a reason why I'm not a full time comedian.

Are you sure the "joke" had enough altitude to go over anybody's head?

Anyone have Any idea of potential release/ship dates?

 

[Yohan Pamudji]

You know: Panasonic can't fill orders, Amazon is often backlogged with pre-orders even a few months after release date... never mind.

Probably more like whizzed below everybody's feet Definitely not high comedy.

The G3 is also available for pre-order on the Panasonic site. They are asking $595 for the kit and $509 for the body (both about $100 less than Amazon).

Also, they are quoting May as the estimated ship date (we'll see...).

And as noted in another thread, if you have "liked" Panasonic on Facebook, you get a discount on top of that. I pre-ordered the white G3 kit with lens for $525 + $43 tax + $11 (2-day shipping) = $580 just earlier this morning.

Thanks for the tip, Travis. This gets it into E-PL2 territory, but with full features.
