The Panasonic GF3 (including the pink one shown above) is available for pre-order at B&H Photo, which usually means it should be in stock any day now. For now, the GF3 w/ 14mm f/2.8 lens kits are the only ones available. However, you should probably expect the body-only and 14-42mm kits to be available soon as well.
Full listings are here at B&H Photo.
The newly announced Olympus E-P3 is available for pre-order at B&H, which usually means (at B&H anyway) that it will be in stock and ready to ship soon.
You can also get in the pre-order line for the E-P3 at Amazon and Adorama.
The recently announced Panasonic Lumix FH7 will carry a retail price tag of $179.99 and be available in July 2011. The FH7 sports a 16.1MP sensor, a touch screen display and a Leica 4x optical zoom lens. It addition to shooting stills, it will capture 720p video at 24 fps.

Remember last week when Sigma announced the (what some would call outrageous) $9700 price tag on its SD1 DSLR?
Turns out that retailers are posting the real street price at nearly $3000 less. [Read more…]
B&H Photo has the Fuji X100 in-stock right now. The availability on this camera has been a tough cookie over the last several weeks. It only lasted a few hours the last time I saw this camera in stock – expect the same this time.
So, if you want one here is the link to the product page at B&H.
B&H Photo has posted that the Zeiss Distagon T 35mm F/1.4 ZF.2 lens is now available for pre-order for the Nikon F Mount version. Here’s the link.
As is custom at B&H, when something is posted for pre-order, it generally means that stock is on the way and almost ready to ship out to customers. No word on the Canon version yet.
The Fuji X100 has been scarce since its announcement, with many in the US wondering just when they’ll get their chance to put hands on one. If you’ve been waiting, it looks like Amazon has some in stock now.
Only 17 more left in stock at the time of this post. Better hurry.
Update: It took 25 minutes to blow through the 17 available (at 3AM). However, Amazon says it has more in stock, but it just takes 1-2 days extra to process the orders (guess they’re in the back of the warehouse, eh?).
Update #2: Wow. Those are gone too. The X100 may be some hot stuff this year…
It seems that Nikon D5100 is quite hot item. Amazon is pretty thin on stock right now and appears to only have availability through third-party vendors at the moment.
B&H Photo has updated its stock status to show the D5100 as “Available for Pre-Order” which generally means that B&H has stock on the way and will be shipping it out in a matter of days. Here’s the link to the D5100 product page at B&H Photo.
Just a heads up for those chomping at the bit to get your hands on the Nikon D5100. Amazon.com has it in stock at the time of this post.
Here’s the link to the D5100 at Amazon.
