UPDATED: E-M5 in Stock in Germany and in US (overpriced).

If for some reason you need the E-M5 now than Willoughby’s has four of them in Stock through Amazon (Click here). But we aren’t that desperate or not? :)

UPDATE: The camera is now in Stock at Amazon Germany (Click here).

But here is the next and more important tip if you are still a film camera user like me. Fuji Japan (via FujiRumors) reports that starting from May 1 there will be a double digit price increase on all photographic films! So buy a large Stock now! Here are some links:
Fuji Velvia at [shopcountry 30509].
Fuji Provia at [shopcountry 30508].
Fuji Superia at [shopcountry 30510].
Damn, it’s getting tuff for us film useres. Kodak dropped the slide film production and Fuji increases the price :(

And here it is the new Black E-m5 with 14-42mm in Stock at BHphoto (Click here)! The other kits are released in limited quantity because of the higher demand (Click here). Olympus Japan (Click here) issued a statement to say that there will be a delay in Silver E-m5 shipments! Very likely Olympus didn’t expect such a high demand. The new MMF-3 adapter is in Stock at Amazon (Click here), but you know that you will get it for free along the E-M5 :)
