GH4 gh4 sold out?!

Glazer's in Seattle has new shipment of kits w/ "brick" in today; bodies arriving tomorrow and may still have some un-assigned units, depending on number received. They were the first in the States to get them. I'm #8 in the current queue!
 
I got mine from Hot Rod Cameras. I don't know if their site is back up or not, but you might call them. They were the only ones in stock when everyone else was out.
 
Mine arrives today from Samy's... Their website claimed they were out but when I called last week they had some. I think most retailers end up getting a few now and then, filling backorders, and sometimes having a few spares. That's what happened with Samy's. Definitely call - you might get lucky.
 
If none of the above suggestions work (In case Ilya at Hot Rod Cameras has any I'd try him first) pre-order from one of the big outfits like B&H. When the first wave of shipments had all been sold out I finally decided to "get in line" and be patient. That was a bit over 3 weeks ago. Surprised me when I got an email advising it had been shipped. Mine is on the truck for delivery today (but (sigh) I'm on the tail end of my UPS guy's route so it'll be around 6-7PM).

B&H has on their website that it should be in stock on Friday 5/30 (I'm currently in line for it).

Not true. Photo from last week.

I was referring to their first delivery some weeks ago - before B&H got their first, according to the salesman I placed my order with for one in the coming batch of bodies alone, supposedly arriving today. I discovered them several years ago when they had GH2's, then GH3's when no one else I could find did. Did HRC get some before B&H's first?
 
Check Texas Media. Placed my order a couple weeks ago and my camera arrived last week. Terry and crew are great to deal with.
 
Really struggling in EU to get one in my hands. I don't know of anybody that received theirs yet.

Yes. Hot Rod Cameras and Samy's picked up the first delivery of the GH4 cameras direct from the distribution hub, rather than wait 2-4 extra days for shipping. I don't think any other dealer did this. I also believe B&H was closed for a holiday at the time GH4 cameras shipped.

I have been consulting with the development team at Panasonic on the GH4 camera for years now, and Hot Rod Cameras is a flagship dealer for the GH4 line.

While I admit I could be wrong, (there is a dealer in another state who decided not to re-order after they sold out of 8-units) Hot Rod Cameras doubled our re-stocking order of GH4 bodies, 12-35mm, 35-100mm & 42.5mm Panasonic lenses, so as soon these land we should have stock for a good long while (months).

I think the GH4 makes sense for HRC clients, some of whom have been following Hot Rod since we did the very first public big screen showings of our presentation at the PhotoCine/Image Mechanics Expo (and then again for the Digital Cinema Society) of the arguably equally revolutionary, GH1 5-years ago. In 2009 many folks were dabbling in the Canon 5Dmk2 camp (at that time only 30p) and Hot Rod Cameras was a lonely voice in the wilderness during that era. I'm really glad to see the GH4 continuing to build on the Panasonic G-series cameras that came before, and receive the well deserved props.

Nice privilege. Can we do the same? ;)
 
I got 2 gh4, so have one to sell due to a misunderstanding.
Im located in south of France, camera was bought in Paris, Cirque video. Everything is there, box, receipt, blabla. One week old.
