Default buying camera in USA

I'm heading to the USA in May and looking to buy a camera. Keen on getting a micro 4/3 as I don't want a full blown DSLR.

which micro 4/3 is recommended?
Can anyone recommend an online US site to buy?
I can get it delivered to a friend's US address in San Fran and pick up when I get there.

also I will need one that has international warranty

thanks

Yeah go online, much cheaper than the US or here but you are right, the states will be slightly cheaper (especially with the exchange rate).

For the camera's I've heard great things about the Oly's but not so much about the panasonics so try a few of the PEN's and see which best suits budgets/requirements.

I bought from Keeble & Shuchat Photography Welcome to Keeble & Shuchat Photography! in Palo Alto when I was visiting my family in the Bay Area. The Shop alone is enough for you to think you died and went to heaven. They were hundreds cheaper on the Leica gear anywhere else that I looked (locally and Internet) and they threw in a heap of free shit also. Since you will be in the bay area, head there, Palo Alto is a damn nice place to visit anyway. You may even run into Mr Facebook himself
