The new cheapest Micro Four Thirds camera is now the Panasonic G10 which is in Stock for $349 at Amazon (Click here). That’s cheaper than the older Panasonic G1. Crazy marketing world…
UPDATE: Quite a few user contacted us to say the G1 is a better camera than the G10…
P.S.: The Panasonic 100-300mm lens is in Stock again (deal will not last!)
There are two Panasonic 100-300mm lens in Stock at Amazon (Click here). (Will be sold out soon I guess!)
But there are a few very good deals in US stores. Take a look at deals on the bottom:
Many readers sent us links to shops where you can find the Panasonic GH2 in Stock. Please keep in mind that the status can change quickly (and I will go to sleep soon). I can’t check all websites at any time :)
US:
Amazon US has one silver GH2 camera in Stock (Click here). I bet that it will be sold within one minute but you might check every little while if it will come back in Stock!
Samys has the GH2+14-140mm lens in Stock! Hurry!

UPDATE: It looks like those guys that ordered the GH2 (Body Only) at Panasonic’s online store will get the camera very soon (Source: Dpreview forum). I hope this means that also other US stores will ship it soon…
The very first non-japanese GH2 version is now on auction at [shoplink 18146 ebay]eBay[/shoplink]! It is a body-only black Panasonic GH2 sold by a customer from Montreal (Canada). I bet that the auction will not end with a cheap sales price :(

Do you remember the days when US shops were the first to have the stuff in Stock? These days are gone. We learned with the GH2 that European shops are getting the camera before the Americans. The same thing is happening with the new Panasonic lenses. Those shops are all having the lenses in Stock:
Panasonic 100-300mm:
Pixmania -> Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Netherland, Belgium, Poland
Amazon -> Germany, UK, France
Panasonic 14mm:
Pixmania -> Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Netherland, Belgium, Poland
Amazon -> Germany, UK, France
Panasonic 3D lens:
Pixmania -> Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Netherland, Belgium, Poland
Amazon -> Germany, UK, France
In US not a single store has them (Check Amazon US
For our US readers the only way to get them is through eBay (non US resellers):

[shoplink 17618 ebay]Panasonic 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 eBay acutions[/shoplink]
[shoplink 17620 ebay]Panasonic 3D 12.5mm f/12 eBay acutions[/shoplink]
Looks like japanese companies are “preferring” the EURO over the DOLLAR currency.
