And finally the Panasonic LX5 (White) is in Stock at Amazon (click here) and at Adorama (click here)

Adorama is making some kind of mistake: If you visit select the Black Olympus E-PL1 cameras they say the camera costs $549.99. But add it to the cart and the real final price is  $479.95!
UPDATE: Amazon is selling the blue E-PL1 for $499.

You can preorder the new Olympus lenses:

1) the Olympus 75-300mm lens at BHphoto and at Amazon Deutschland.

2) The Olympus 40-150mm lens at BHphoto and at Amazon Deutschland

Olympus UK (see ePhotozine) and Olympus France (see ForumOlympusFrance) announced price cuts on the E-PL1. It looks like those price cuts have been made worldwide. In US BHphoto now sells the E-PL1 for $479 (Click here). Add the item to the cart to see the real price!

I guess this is a move to be even more competitive with the Sony NEX cameras.

(Thanks E-P1.net for finding the BH deal)

Just a reminder:
