Danny... have you read word that this particular kit (17mm lens and viewfinder) is shipping? I have been looking for confirmatio but haven't seen it anywhere...

thats great! I just went to dodd camera too, since amazon charges tax to us new yorkers, I saved $50 buying it from them.

I emailed Olympus and they gave me a few stores that might have it in stock. I found it at Dodd Camera and placed an order online. I hope this works :\.http://doddcamera.com/

I wondered if amazon wouldn't give a heads up on arrivals of a major purchase like this, seeing as they don't charge your cc until it ships, and I'd like some notice on a $900 hit on my account. Thanks for all the replies, saves me from going to B&H; twice a day until it's available.

I don't think Amazon really does that, or at least they haven't done it with any of the other E-P1 related items. When they get some in stock, they ship them, without letting anyone know beforehand.So those of us who have preordered don't know anything you don't (although I heard that a few 17mm kits have arrived in the U.S., so it may be soon).

Danny, your first two posts were worthless as they did not answer J. Moore's question. Not even close.

Danny, I think its general knowledge that some zoom kits have shipped in Europe, but the question I asked pertained to anyone who pre-ordered the 17mm kit, and if they had heard anything about an actual ship date. Thank you for muddying the waters.

Looking around on other sites, it looks like the 17mm kit isn't shipping yet. I just got my zoom kit last Wednesday. What a fun camera :).http://www.flickr.com/photos/spyker3292/sets/72157621273577451/

Danny... I think (hope) that there's a misunderstanding. No one is questioning the fact that E-P1 units are shipping... the question is whether the *specific* kit containing the 17mm lens and optical viewfinder is shipping. Can you state that you have received an email from Olympus regarding the 17mm lens + viewfinder kit?

I just checked the delivery date on the "your orders" page, and it went from having a date in February, to now saying "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time." I ordered mine on the 29th, 32GB in Champagne. Hopefully I will get the same email soon.

Preordered this and I just received an email from Amazon saying it would be delivered on 10/22. Checking the product page at Amazon, it's no longer pre-order, it's available now.

I agree. I too pre-ordered in early Aug and I also received the moved up email only to find out it was later than stated. As long as I get mine in time for Christmas I don't care, but at this point I am a little worried that I'll even get it by then. I hope that Amazon takes the lessons learned from this and other hot pre-orders like the Wii Fit to heart and improve on their service level standards. **Update** I was checking my account for another reason and I see now where I should be getting mine by the 24th of this month. Odd. But good news for me, I hope it actually ships then.

dang it, my delivery date just got moved from the 29th to the 30th.... Still not shipped... Oh well, waited 21 days so far, what's another one. Anyone who received it able to post any pictures and reviews of it on amazon? Would like to see real pictures of it being used instead of just stock photos.

September 25th it is. Amazon product page is showing it to be in stock now. Hopefully they will start shipping soon. Edit: Looks like anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon is screwed. In stock at Buy.com, J&R, and Electronics Expo, but Amazon is quoting 1-2 months! WTF?

Although incredible, I think it's just you! I remember reading this somewhere before - others posted in a forum that Amazon doesn't give priority to the pre-orders, instead if you do what you did (cancel/re-order) its actually better. I just can't really believe that though... whats the point of pre-ordering then?!

How long do we have to wait for it? It's a delivery timing issue for me. If I knew I'd have it before April 30, I'd probably pre-order it.

Lucky you, I tried endlessly yo put my order this weekend, but couldn't! Now it's again on pre-order status... not in-stock! I really really hope my MBA (which I already placed as pre-order) will arrive on time... waiting anxiously!

I saw a release date of 28th Feb for the UK, but I'm sure I saw 11th Feb somewhere on Amazon.com yesterday (although I can't see that anywhere now).UPDATE: a quick search on the web shows "March sometime" as being the current info. I think Amazon.com made a typo somewhere, hence I can't find it again.

I was wondering about this too. It's set to launch on Wednesday... if we pre ordered it from Amazon, will we receive our ipods in the mail on Wed?

And now that I made a change by applying a gift certificate to my order, I lost my place in line, so my ship date has been bumped back to October 21-November 4. That's with an original purchase date of August 29. Still, for me, with the $75 GC, the wait is worth it. Otherwise, I agree with D. Trotter; if it absolutely, positively has to be there by a certain date.... good luck with that!

I think it can arrive on release day depending on where you live. Otherwise the soonest it will arrive is the 7th, depending on the shipping method you selected.EDIT: Alright all our e-mails came in today and the estimated is on the 8th, even though I chose 1-day shipping. Hopefully it shows up tomorrow or the 7th.

No, Bal, for a brief moment Amazon themselves had it for preorder, and thats waht we are commenting on. It was literally only available for like a few hours. We are both waiting for a shipment update from amazon.

I've ordered mine in July and still didn't get it. I just cancelled today. Plain ridiculous.

I did pre-order mine, Oct. 15th, with an estimated delivery date range, provided by Amazon, of Oct. 31-Nov.2. However today is Oct. 31 and the item's status still shows as "Not Yet Shipped"... I've got a feeling they are not going to get it delivered by Nov. 2nd then... ... ...
