Its a milestone product which will start a new market. But its only been 14 days. We're still in effect day one on the whole thing. At B&H near me its: New Item, Available for pre-order Expected availability: December 14 2012 So day one is not for a month and a half yet. I'm betting plenty have been pre ordered and there are a few camera concerns not waiting to see how fast they fly off the shelves before getting on the drawing board.
