new micro 4/3 camera and goes underwater

[PHIL RUDIN]

This camera is already released in Japan, so I am sure GRAY market cameras can be had in the US. My bet is that if you want one with a US warranty and the latest software updates you will be looking at March.

JR does not sell gray market. It is the real US version. I saw the paperwork it is OLY USA.

Actually I would expect Adorama, BH and JR to get first dibs on the new stuff, as they are the biggest retailers of camera online, and in the country in general.

17th street camera through Amazon, sent out U.S.A versions of the camera. I guess only the big fish are getting the first round of shipping.

Amazon has it themselves also. The big boys gets first dibs.

I just need to see who will get the evf instock first as I want that when I get the camera. No one seems to have that yet.

Not according to what Oly told me yesterday. I have a call in.

Go ahead and buy it at Amazon, see how many questions about diving they can answer.

Just saying it is not nice bashing other shops. They do a honest business that is all.

And actually, Adorama can answer a ton of diving related question about the dive setup. Leisurepro is right upstair in the same building. Just depends on who you do business with.

The reason for a forum... is to ask and answer questions.

Blue and gold versions are shipping now in limited quantities. the black ones and others won't ship for a few weeks.

Olympus still committed to Four Thirds DSLRs: Digital Photography Review

Do ya think new 9-18 be would be good for UW use?

Wonder what kind of port/housings are in the pipeline for possible new "faster focusing" lens (s)?
Supposed to be faster anyhow...
