The G6 is right now in Stock at Samys (Click here) and Amazon (via Samys). As usual in USA Panasonic is a bit slow in delivering enough cameras to the US market. Olympus is already shipping the E-p5 with no delay but it seems like the camera isn’t selling that good on Amazon (ranking here). I guess most of the people will now wait for the Panasonic GX7 instead…

P.S.: Stillv alid, The $299 for the G5

–

There was a Blackmagic event in LA and Ogy Stoilov at MRP Films confirms the news saying the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera will ship in 3-4 days in small quantities (preorders here at BHphoto). News via Nofilmschool.

The price for the the Panasonic 12-35mm X lens just dropped down to $99 thankt to top rated seller [shoplink 40444 ebay]MZgamers on eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

Speaking of high quality zoom I do hope Olympus-Panasonic will learn the lesson from Sigma. Their new 18-35mm f/1.8 zoom not only is terrific fast, but also of very high quality. And all that for $799 (Amazon price). I hope they will acknowledge that!
