Just thought you might like to know. its still showing as pre-order on their site but I have mine! Still waiting on the battery grip-they said yesterday that we can expect that in 2-3 weeks. Thanks, keep up the good work.”

And here is the netx good news. The GH3 with 12-35mm X lens is now marked as in Stock at Wex Germany (Click here)!

That’s a good news becuase it means that Panasonic kept the promise to start shipping the camera by end of November! Great!

Like it is with me some of you also still don’t know if they should get the Black or Silver E-M5. The best way to help you (and me) is to show you some sexy pictures of the E-M5 with different kind of lenses. Here is the list:
