Canon EOS-1D X - June 20, 2012 in Japan

[chrysek]

My account was debited on 3/16 (( and still waiting ((

[fonsii]

Asked George's today in Sydney AU, I got this reply:

'The cameras you are seeing must be media releases, Canon confirmed that they will be releasing globally at the same time. We are hoping any week now.'

Asked Ted's at Pitt St, Sydney, they told me that they're coming 30th of June.

oh the tension...

Ummmmm.  They shouldn't have debited your account until it ships.  That's B&H's and Adorama's policy at least.

Yes, for domestic orders.  For international orders, they charge when the order is placed...

B&H did that to me as well. I ended up canceling the order with them because I forgot I had Amazon Prime. Shipping for next day is $4 versus $80. I got the refund quite promptly from B&H, so they're quite responsive.

Hope will be when my bank account is debited $6800...

Well... my account has already been debited when I placed the order - so don't put your hopes on a debit order  Believe me... it feels REALLY hopeless seeing $6800 go and you have only an invoice to show for it!

As I said, for domestic orders they charge the account when they ship.  Someone in the 40/2.8 thread reported that B&H debited their account prior to informing them the lens had shipped (but presumably it's in the shipping queue to go out today).

[nikkito]

yeah, i also have an invoice. I tried taking photos with it but the IQ is not that good

Invoice 1D X!

But the white balance is pretty good 

[nikkito]

indeed it is. Bad news it's I've noticed a little banding with low isos

Oh shoot.  I never place international orders so I didn't realize that.

Oh - that's easily fixed... just turn it around 

[nikkito]

haha you're right.
i wonder which score will my invoice get from DxO

Well, I just checked with my local camera store this afternoon, and I was told that all of the production is going towards the Olympics and that we Canadians and probably the Americans should not expect to see any units until late July at the earliest or after the Olympics in late August.  I would hate to speculate on the timing for the release of this camera if it were not for the Olympics.  My 0.02¢ FWIW.

That's what has been previously mentioned. July is fine with me, if it is the winner that I think it is I will be using this camera for at least 5-6 years seeing that my 5D2 is still going strong after three and a half.
