Yea per Amazon.com they're saying July 10th
Per the Olympus website they're saying June
Per the man I spoke with at Ritz Camera when they called to verify my order, it should be in in a couple weeks.

LOL

i can only hope Ritz is true, but I'm expecting June/July timeframe.

i still think June 1
that gives what 6-8 weeks separation between roll outs of 410/510/P1 respectively

As a newbie - would you recommend body only and some lenses or a kit.

If lenses - which ones? The main focus will be family etc... and I'd like to stay in that $1000 range.

Thanks

you might not do much better under 1000
the weakness is the shorter focal, replacing the 14-42 with something faster 14-54 is US$430
the other kit lens the 40-150 is fine at US$230 (cheap)

the reality is, the twin lens kit is pretty good value, and sees you thru 28-300mm (EFL)

Excellent.

If the reviews come out as great as thought - I'm on it.

Which month was the review in popular photography? Looked in the april issue at the library and no mention. Did I miss it somehow?

This camera will beat the sony right? I'm reading so far it's cleaner on the higher ISO's?

It's the current issues (just got it in the mail yesterday) and it's not a full review yet but a look at the pre-production model.

I put some money down on an E-510 today and I'm 3rd in line for this camera. Also, May is the expected arrival date at this location; The reason for the one month early arrival is the shop really sold a lot of Olympus cameras in the past year or two and have been rewarded with the early shipment. I am really excited!! This will be my first Digital SLR.

Warmly,
