It is a discontinued model. I have read, somewhere, that Panny does not intend to continue the GM line, which I consider a shame.

They make a similar-ish model, with, I believe, the same guts, but with a semi-SLR hump and no EVF. Not a good replacement. A used E-PM2 with the 14-42 EZ lens and auto lens cap would be more appealing to me, if I can't have a built-in EVF.

Some are still available new, mostly from Japan on eBay, most in red or green garb. They come with the international warranty, which is no good in North America. I picked up a spare, in red, from a US seller, an open box demo with new US warranty, for a reasonable price. There seem to be just a few still available new here, though some sellers are asking very high prices.
