They're making me wait around two weeks - that's if they stick to  
schedule. I'm a bit annoyed because the local store site says 24 hr  
shipping, when you go to the individual page it becomes 5-7 days  
(that's OK, I asked for the extra half gig RAM so it's 'non-standard)  
but when I checked my order's progress it had blown out to 'up to 11  
days plus 4 days transit! Far canal! By the time I get it, I mean,  
like, everyone will have one!
To go back on topic, I ordered an extra battery being mildly unamused  
to note that it's somewhat cheaper than the Oly battery for the E1,  
etc. in this country and not much more than a genuine Canon BP-511.  
Given that the camera batteries are smaller, standard pattern (only  
the contacts and minor body bits are different in many cases) and of  
far simpler construction, that's a major criticism of the photo  
industry's pricing policies.
