G1X available now?
« on: February 07, 2012, 08:42:05 PM »
saw it here... http://www.digitalrev.com/ ... says they have it in stock and available to ship.  Curious when we'll see it at places like Adorama, BuyDig, B&H ...

Canon usually ships to manufacturers around the world with a embargo on the release for sale date, so that theoretically, they all go on sale the same day.  The Chinese typically jump the gun and Canon looks the other way.

Super! Can't wait for Kai to do a review on it. Their videos are always entertaining.

Wow, thanks, Kai.  Now...how are you going to compensate me for those 12 minutes and 55 seconds of my life that I'll never get back?   ::)   If there's a plus side to the video review, it's that it contained slightly more information content than a video of Kai getting his hair cut.
