Have you ordered yours locally?I am expecting them to, and would be very disappointed if they didn’t.

No, online at WexHave you ordered yours locally?
Ahh, I ordered mine from LCE in Chichester. They have no idea when they are arriving or how many, they got a meassage from olympus saying there is a component shortage. Hopefully won't be too much longer fingers crossed.No, online at Wex
I think your guarantee used to be extended if you registered your new purchase with Olympus - which I always did. It's a handy way to check how old your equipment is too. I'm not sure what will happen now.Are any of the suppliers getting the new OM 1 body quicker than others? I also note that Park cameras advertise a 2 year guarantee but Wex don't. Is 2 years standard?
Just a sandy beach Bokeh ..That's a very nice shot Jeff, with a creamy (dare I say almost FF like) bokeh on the background
as above answers .Ok Guys- sorry to have wandered into your forum, me being a devote Sony user and all
I'm seriously thinking of moving over to Olympus 4/3rds as carrying around a heavy lens gets a little tedious at times as I walk miles and miles over the Somerset Levels most days
I'm think about the new Olympus OM-1 @ £1995 and the 100-400mm - my questions are :
1. Would I need a teleconverter on this lens? If so which one
2. what other lenses I should consider? - I shoot mostly wildlife and sometimes Insects, so a decent close focus macro lens in on the cards too
3. Is there a better Olympus body on the market that would suit my wildlife passion
4. Suggest a decent walk about lens
My budget is around the £4,000 mark
I obviously know very little about Olympus kit
Thanks is advance
Les

I have asked Wex, Park Cameras, LCE and i think SRS. Asking if I preordered now when do they think it would be possible to receive an OM-1.Are any of the suppliers getting the new OM 1 body quicker than others?

Just had a message from LCE yesterday, they're only getting 20 units for May, I am 35th in the pre-orders list left waiting. They said it will be June before they get their next orders so I could be waiting until July. the whole thing is crazy so I got my pre-order money returned and bought a mk3 for the time being. I will look again later in the year if any become available. Om system certainly know how to take the shine off buying a new camera.I have asked Wex, Park Cameras, LCE and i think SRS.

The answers have ranged from 2-4 months but all have said in reality they don't know. A few said they are still to fulfil the original preorder queue.
