same response I got. Quite tired of waiting, I will be in HK next month and if BH still doesnt ship it out then I will snag one up in HK, seeing that they already have stocks there.

Thank you for contacting _______. (Leading store in NY)
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

We did not receive the ICA1DX-CANON EOS-1D X DIGITAL SLR Cameras in as yet.
We had received some, but not enough to fill your order.
I really can't tell you when or how many we will be receiving at a time.
You are on the waiting list however there are plenty of customers before you.
Are you still willing to wait?

I am on waiting list in one of the nj stores, they told me I am 1st on the list there but no luck either, they were saying that they will contact canon to see when the shipment will be made but still no luck ((( this sucks especially that so many people in europe and asia received theirs whats surprising strange that no one posting any raw images, that no one testing the high iso and stuff... if people got it this would be expected, even with pre production models you would imagine that by this time all can post their images, so strange with this camera...

Germany: I ordered mine in November and received it yesterday.

...and my colleague picked his one up today. At both stores they received only one piece and they expect to receive the next one next week.

mm maybe not right now, but probably in the next few weeks or so. At least I think they will have stock earlier than in US.

He he. HK have 1DX, but price!!! 10625US dollars
Certainly, I think very soon, the price becomes normal.

He he. HK have 1DX, but price!!! 10625US dollars Certainly, I think very soon, the price becomes normal.

In Hong Kong the price is HK$ 51,980 and that is also Canon's RRP which is what the shops normally sell at. That is roughly US$ 6,700.

Anyone selling higher than that is ripping people off. Anyone buyingt at that price, would be smarter to get on a plane and fly to Singapore if they cannot find it for the normal price.

Stock in HK is the issue at the moment, as it seems to be everywhere else.

I am still waiting to hear back from one retailer about if I order today when would I receive it.

Yes, and like I said, anyone that buys for US$ 4,000 over the RRP (at the price you quoted) needs to see a doctor, or has too much money for sense.

If they are that desperate to own the latest and greatest, and cannot wait a few days/weeks, it would be far cheaper to hop on a plane to Singapore (which seems to have them in stock) and buy one there for S$ 9299 (roughly US$ 7,311).

There are plenty of places in HK that will rip you off when buying a camera and accessories etc. Looks like you found one.

2 expatinasia

I agree with your opinion 100 %

 

[hhelmbold]

This doesn't mean anything but I did see that Canon USA is now also listing Digital Photo Professional 3.11 on the EOS 1D X page. This used to be only under the 5D III page. So there is some movement on the site... Let's hope for some box pictures on Monday ;D

 

[JEAraman]

Getting mine tomorrow.. I can't wait!!!
