Any signs of life on delivery of OM-D E-M5? Have been waiting for info since Feb. Any news from buyers in North America with updates as to delivery of the Olympus OM-D E-M5?

Out of the free offers the wireless flash is far the most useful, I think; it can trigger the default flash (the one comes with the camera) so you can take on some pretty elaborate macro etc shots.

@Hugh - by the time I get to evaluating and posting, many reviews will be posted. I'm leaving in a week for a multi-month hike 3 days after the camera is due to arrive.Interestingly, the Sony website now says they're taking pre-orders and it will ship 3/17. I've got my e-mail saying it will ship 3/12 so I'll see by the end of today what happened.

Was just on Sony's website and it shows you can purchase the HX100 again with the ship date of May 16th. Do you think Amazon will be getting it then also or should I just get it through Sony? I have had it on order here since April 13th.

Thanks - i did end up also e-mailing Canon and they said they are having a backorder issue. I am hoping it gets resolved soon. i did see last week when they were available and I am kicking myself for not grabbing it then.

We all realize this item is backordered now... My issue is that it seems like amazon didn't receive ANY 5DmkII bodies.I also have a pre-order (Sept. 18) and have heard nothing, if they could just let me know that they didn't have enough to get to me in the first batch and they are waiting for more cameras that'd be great. I just want some kind of confirmation.

I have mine backordered from B&H; since Sept 12th, still waiting. I called them a few days ago and they told me that they would check with nikon for expected dates. Per their e-mail I got today, nikon did not give them any shipping estimate :(

Is there any chance to preview an Oppo unit in a local store? (Portland, OR). I have limited funds but my wife would feel much better if she could see how our home movies would look. I have been using a high quality Sony 3 chip SD camcorder for many years. The videos of my family are my most valuable videos.

Well, that's it for me. Just got another notice that the shipment date has been pushed back to 4 Sep 06. Thanks for the tip about Adorama. I'm going to check out their seller rating/prices. I'm really irritated with Amazon right now since I ordered this camera from them (not a vendor) at a good sale price. About $750 for the camera body with both lenses. Of course, that doesn't mean much if they don't ship the camera. The aggravation of waiting over two months isn't worth it. And of course, the page still states that Amazon ships in 1-2 weeks.

dang it, my delivery date just got moved from the 29th to the 30th.... Still not shipped... Oh well, waited 21 days so far, what's another one. Anyone who received it able to post any pictures and reviews of it on amazon? Would like to see real pictures of it being used instead of just stock photos.

I really want this camera- the manual controls using the touchscreen look great. Has anyone ordered from Amazon and gotten it already? It says it'll ship in "1-2 months," but if it's already out... ?

My apologies. If you have had it in your hands then I certainly cannot dispute that. I have done more research and found that Target says that the camera is available (in stock) at our local Targets. I will see tomorrow and report back.

I ordered the silver version with a "1-2 month wait" on 11/3 and it's scheduled to arrive today. Original estimated delivery was as late as Jan 5. It was $399.99 and I would have liked the black, but couldn't justify the price difference. I love how, for example, canon G9s are selling for way over retail and G10s are bouncing around $460. So order the silver LX3k from amazon, as they seem to have just gotten some in.

I can't answer for the E510, but I can for the E500. The E520 is a step up from the E500. They share lens. I switch back &Y; forth between the two, just depending on my mood. I believe both the E500 & E520 have been superseded. I believe the OM-D is now "the" body. I am a little upset with Olympus at the rapid upgrades & new models. Support on the E500 & E520 is not so good now.

you could order direct from olympus but its not coming anytime soon. I went throughout Tokyo and every camera store manager told me they've had backorders since the camera came out. They were equally as upset at Olympus about this as I was.

Mine is still set for 28 August. I ordered the d50 with both lenses. Is that the same configuration you ordered? If so, please LMK if your's ships today. If they delay shipment, you should get an eMail notice. I did. Actually, I've rec'd 3-4 notices. :(

I received the Olympus version. I would venture to guess that this is the only version being manufactured at this point. It's a pretty popular piece of gear.
