Any news on the 1D X?!

Until today, the official release date for the 1Dx is April 30th in Japan.
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B005WO89XO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_g23_i1?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=15CKA27HD1BFXG2Y7AF7&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463376756&pf_rd_i=489986
But of course, it may change, since (for example) Canon already changed the release date of 5Dm3 from March 29th to March 22nd just 10 days ago!

Yeah been checking google for 1D X news daily too, seen some amazing videos from it. Waiting for this low iso, dying to get my hands on it 
I am not a pro, just love photography, been shooting all my life, what I love is not 14fps but the low iso. Wish canon integrated gps in it 
cant beleive they still using usb 2.0 it blows. Oh well. I dont think they will introduce anything new from what they already anounced, just bug fixes and stability was the focus over past couple of months, so dont hope for anything thats not on their web

When I did play with 1D X back in october 2011 in NYC show it had this follow focus where you could lock on someones face and it would keep it sharp, remember it has one processor dedicated to AF, so I just hope it will be amazing in real life shooting. When I was playing during the showI had no access to images so have no idea how many of them were good or bad, but will see soon I hope. I am just waiting for the iso, love to shoot without flash, so low iso is going to be the key for me and if AF will perform I'll be very happy.

I don't understand the problem of having USB2 only. I personally would have gone without a USB connection at all. First, most people with 1 serie cameras copy their cards using card reader. Second, the 1Dx has a freakin Eternet port! So if you want to transfer your files using a wired camera and up to 100 meters away, there you have it.
Canon probably made the Eternet port so that it could also be used to manage setting on the camera, debug the software, update the firmware, etc. So I really wonder why there is still a USB connection on the 1Dx. They should have save this space and put a headphone out connection instead...

I certainly am buying a 1DX and have one on pre-order already. That said, I do feel a little bit of the nervousness from our friend ronderick here as well. As someone else said, this will either bow us out of the water or feel like a big disappointment.
Am not sure I buy the 5DmkIII spotlight as a reason for no 1DX info yet. As people start to rave about the D4, Canon should react to shut them - at least surprising their marketing team is so quite.

Speed did this take place in North America?

If this is true, it's a good thing interest rates are low as B&H will have had your $7000 for two months with nothing to show for it for you!
While I'm waiting until May to pull the trigger on the 1D X, I'm still disappointed to hear this as that'll just push my order even further down the road. Although foolishly, I initially did say as long as I had one by September, I'd be happy.
But a guy can change his mind right? Not to mention all this 5D III stir going on, has me just itching for news and RAWs of the 1D X.

No, Perth Western Australia but I would assume that we would get it on release. Perhaps because we are a fairly small market we won't get it day one.
The rep had only just spoken to the big wigs in Japan & that date is what she was told.
