Dean: Thanks for the Best Buy info – I’ll check into that. Also, I have Light Room but can’t use Mac stuff – I use windows. Well, maybe now with the advent of these bigger and better cameras – more software will be developed to help better process the large sizes. If you hear of anything – let me know.
Have you had a chance to use the camera? I will be experimenting tomorrow evening at my daughter’s Christmas performance…I did a couple of “practice” videos at home…not bad at all but the processing and viewing on my computer – not so great. I need to do some research and see if there’s anything better out there to use.
Out of curiosity I checked Ritz – the camera is still on backorder. I really do appreciate your sharing your info about Best Buy! Thanks!
Thanks Mary, I have tried Best Buy but they are all out of stock across the state. I searched Sacramento, San Francisco, Antioch, Stockton, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, Santa Maria, Los Angeles and San Diego oh yeah, and Chico! All said UNAVAILABLE
As for editing software, i fyou are using a PC and want a light but robust version of Photoshop but want easy to use I suggest going with Photophop Lightroom 2. It is great! I use it for most of my clients projects. it handles large files and is great I am playing with Aperture 2 on my mac. If you would like to see finished work please check out my site. http://www.RobertCristie.com Thanks for the useful tips on finding this rare beast!!! I may one day capture it, who knows when…..
Mary: I’m glad you were able to get it. Make sure you use the coupon. I was credited back $292.
I used it a couple of times and it is great. Check out my little video I shot with it: http://vimeo.com/2480638
I canceled my Ritz order, only to receive a reply stating that it has shipped. Funny thing, the email was addressed to someone named Igor, with a totally different number from mine.
That show how screwed up Ritz is. I’m glad I was able to find it locally, which ended up costing me less than online and was able to walk out with it the same day.
Happy shooting! :)

I received an email from McBain Camera a week or so ago telling me that I’d likely have to wait for the New Year before receiving my camera, but this evening I got a phone call from them saying that it is in and it will be on it’s way to me tomorrow. Quite a nice surprise. I ordered the kit on Oct. 1. Oh, and I’m getting the original Canadian pricing too.
Just got mine (as a kit with the lens) today from Lozeau in Montreal.
