Maybe you are waiting for the Panasonic GF1 release but if you are ready to go for the Olympus E-P1 here you have the availabilty list:
Amazon US will have the Silver E-P1 in stock on August 15.
The White E-P1 usually ships within 6 to 10 days.. If you want the E-P1 with the 17mm lens… it usually ships within 1 to 2 months. :(
Bhphoto and Adorama do not have the E-P1 in stock.
Europeans have far more luck with most big stores having the include("buy/e-p1.php"); ?> in stock!!!
The danish Zoom website announces that Panasonic will unveil the new Lumix camera by September 1th. And we bet the camera will be the new GF1 MicroFourThirds camera. Also the 20mm f/1.7 and 45mm macro lens are expected to be announced.

The image leaks are probably real images but I am waiting for some confirmation from our bigger sources!
UPDATE: I downgraded the rumor value from FT3 to FT2. I am waiting for some confirmation from other sources…
I Just came back from my Jungle trip in Australia and saw this images inside the xitek forum. The post has been deleted after few hours. This is not the first possible GF1 image we saw (click here to see the GL1 rumored image and specs). Xitek leaked images are normally good so maybe this could be a real one?
UPDATE: One of our most known sources says the camera is real! The camera should be unveiled right in time for the IFA in Berlin! We upgraded the rumor value from FT2 to FT4.
UPDTAE2: Sorry for beeing 2 days late in posting the news. All three of us were outside for work and without any Internet connection. Thanks to all who sent us an email with the links to the xitek forum!
