I'm in the UK. I phoned up Jacobs in Leicester early last week, and was told to pre-order to guarantee late June delivery - they were getting 2 a week, and had 7 pre-orders.
Anyhow, they got a whole crate in this week - fulfilled all their pre-orders, asked me to come in and get mine, which I did. They had in addition, about 4-5 extra lying around, not assigned to customer orders. I checked a few serial numbers, and they were all xxxx3xxxx stock - i.e. not reworked, but fresh made.
So clearly, large stocks are now coming through. I guess in a week or two these will reach all corners of Europe.
Unless, of course, Canon are revising pricing in the Eurozone, 'cos of the dropping Euro exchange rate, and holding back stock. But that wouldn't affect Norway, Switzerland, etc., who avoided that particular folly.
