Gary - I've never bought camera gear from Amazon but they have been  
top-notch with regard to service on the books and DVDs I ordered from  
them.  For camera gear, though, I would go with B&H.  I've ordered  
from them many times, always had the gear come through on time, and  
returned a few things to them with absolutely no hassle.

I bought my adapters, Leica and 4/3rds, from CameraQuest and B&H,  
respectively.  $175 is about right for the Leica adapter.  You can  
find it cheaper via *Bay from Hong Kong if you want to go that route.

Color?  Why would you buy anything but black????

I don't think you'll need a second charger.  I easily get by with one.

I've never bought a supplementary  service agreement so I can't  
comment on that.

Enjoy the G1.  The more I use mine the more I love it.  Except for  
some edge fringing issues, the Leica lenses work well on it.  I hope  
to be posting a few new images from it soon.

Regards,

Dick
