With the frustrating lack of the long awaited built-in EVF in all of the Oly m4/3 cameras, G3 becomes more and more feasible.......

It is so much smaller than it looks in product photos too.

It's very good looking in white/silver too (yes, I pay attention to this kind of stuff....)

If I had the funds, I would of gotten the Brown..  But, It only has a G on front, and the AF/MF dial is gone, so it won't to hard to pick up the G1 from the G3 if I carry them both  ;)

Just called Panasonic Direct:

My G3 should ship on Thursday or Friday... It is in stock, but takes 48 hours to process and send it to the Warehouse.   ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8)

I called and made sure they had all the right info, but, now, I think they are OOS again on the body, unless Mine got through, and, one of the warehouse has my order waiting to ship on Monday.. I can only hope at this point.

I have heard on mu-43 a few Panasonic Direct stories where they waited a few weeks, and no shipping email details sent, and they called CS and they had no record of shipment... then a day latter they had delivery truck pull to deliver the camera.

For a $100 savings, I'll wait..

UpDate:

Canceled the Pre-Order from Panasonic Direct, and bought a NIB G3 from a guy at mu-43, who decided to wait for the E-P3 Or E-PL2 instead... But, couldn't cancel it because it had already been shipped. He just learned it was delivered Today at his work, and will send it to me by Thursday (Today is a holiday for him at work).
So, I should have by the end of next week..
