Actually last night B&H had the 12-60mm in stock but no E-3s in stock
according to their web site.
Mike heard that Olympus America might do something similar to the
Europe offer. I doubt they will do both the $100 for the body and a
free battery grip.
Mark(?) posted that he already received his Zuiko 12-60mm. I believe
he went through a Canadian dealer.
YMMV
