Amazon just shipped my grip and lens hood as well. Seems like supply is flowing better.

Ordered black OM-D and 14-42 zoom package from Amazon last Friday and ship date is July 22 - August 30. So you guys keep sharing the love here until mine arrives, probably just in time for the end of summer 🙁

I think I might have a black body for sale... if I cannot return it. Will post in classifieds soon if I decide to sell it.

jsrockit...curious why you're selling...did I miss some commentary from you somewhere?

No, you didn't miss it dreilly. I'm keeping quiet because it isn't the cameras fault... it's my fault for not doing more research and for making a impulse buy. I don't like the size, which is shocking to me since I love small cameras. It feels like a TV remote to me and I've come to find that I don't like 4:3 aspect ratio at all (and like working in RAW so jpeg aspect ratios don't work). Obviously it is a very capable camera as you and others have shown, and is of high quality, but I didn't do enough homework for my purchase. My fault not the cameras. It basically doesn't gel with me ergonomics wise and I have a few other cameras I prefer.

Ordered from B&H in Feb, didn't get my black EM-5 till about the end of May. The lenses (which I did not buy through B&H) arrived before the camera did. Now the irksome thing is that I ordered spare batteries through B&H, but they're still not in stock....

and I've come to find that I don't like 4:3 aspect ratio at all (and like working in RAW so jpeg aspect ratios don't work).

The selected aspect ratio is reflected in most RAW converters, too. Actually, I find that I cannot go back to the 4:3 RAW at all in Aperture when using any other ratio.

jsrockit,
Makes sense to me: Ergonomics, native ratio, all important stuff and very individual.

For me, it's a good thing that they seem to be backordered because I'd probably have incurred the wrath of wife and ordered one today. I'm impressed.

New Amazon email this morning saying my OM-D has shipped and will arrive on July 3rd. They must have received a new shipment since I just ordered it only a week ago today, with an original ship date of July 30 - August 22.

My wife just called a bit ago to say that I have a package, presumably OM-D sized, waiting for me at home.😀😀😀

FYI....

I ordered an OM-D 12-50 kit from Samys.com yesterday. I see they still have some silver 12-50 and black 14-42 kits in stock today.
