I am not taking these measurements as gospel, but given that they are the only evidence out there right now, I figure I can wait until some other verified reviews and tests come out. If it turns out these early measurements were right, then I can make a more informed decision at that point. If it turns out they were wrong the only thing I lose is not being able to get one in the first batch.
Smart move IMHO. Preorders are always a bit risky. You pay full price for the privilege of having it first. If you're not in a hurry, what's few more weeks waiting for reviews, right?.
Especially for something like this. Canons aren't usually out of stock, right? Even very early in the cycle. You can pre-order well ahead of time, but the NDA will probably end the day they're available, so you can read all the reviews on launch day and order then if you like it. Shipping will generally get it to you within a couple of days. So you lose, literally, a week with the new toy in exchange for having a lot more information to decide with. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
