Thanks Viggo.
Like what you said, it's really nothing wrong with it.
The Olympics website quotes "...Media 24,562 accredited media representing 159 countries..." for the Beijing 2008 Games. Assuming half of them uses still camera and half of these still shooters use Canon (and each uses two 1D X), it still takes Canon about 2 months to feed them all with the 1D X as they are initially making 7000 per month.
A more conservative estimate might be 3 months because of the supply to satisfy Euro 2012 as well.

Ditto!!! We don't know when Canon starts making it, but something like June for general public? :'(
Yeah... June is my new goal, the 17th of May is the "4th of july" here in Norway, kind of hoping I would have it by then, I have a two and a half month old daughter, and kind of wished I would get som "1d"-shots of her as I have of my son, but it looks very grim at the moment...
SO when we can actually buy it, it's a frikkin year old, at least......
