Hi, Mark1958 !
you wouldn't remember the name of that Brussels shop, would you ?
Or an approx location ?
Was it just a shop or a gigantic outlet like FNAC or MediaMarkt ?
I'm looking for a body only. Lenses, I own enough (too many, as the lady of the house says)

Just call around to brick and mortar camera shops... even in larger cities that may not be close to you (buy over the phone). When big internet dealers are out of stock, many of these smaller brick and mortar stores have them in stock. I'm going to pick up my chocolate G3 today from a local brick and mortar that has two chocolates in stock.

I ordered one yesterday from Panasonic. It should be here by the end of the week.

Got it home. Yipppeee. Battery charging. Trying to be patient. While charging, I'm checking out the form factor... I like it. Easier to hold with a better finger grip than I was expecting. Feels fine with the 14-140. While smaller and lighter than my GH2, not significantly so. It's a very attractive little camera.
The chocolate color is nice... nicely matches my Tenba Mini Messenger which is chocolate also. I have a Tenba Large Messenger chocolate on the way from B&H as well. I plan to use the mini Messenger as a daily run around bag to hold a camera and lens or two, wallet, checkbook, sunglasses, cell phone, water bottle, pens, iPad. And will use the large Messenger for taking GH2 and G3, a half dozen lenses or so, 17" MacBook Pro, etc.

Congratulations.
I agree about the grip etc. it is a very small camera, but I think they put a huge amount of effort into designing the ergonomics. It's a constant in reviews: small, yet very nice to hold.
Enjoy!

Touch AF/Touch shooting are definitely underrated. Some reviews have said it causes motion blur but I've found if I keep my shutter speeds up that it works quite well.
