That's about right, in my experience. >IF the release date is in June, production is mostly done and someone, >somewhere, is swearing and cursing and trying to finalize the firmware. That's an "LOL" :) Very true. Release dates are *targets*, not something carved in stone. The very concept of "firmware" has really put a wrinkle in the manufacturing process: A manufacturer can have a warehouse full of some product built and yet it still may not be ready to ship! I've heard "late June or early July" for availability. It will be interesting to see if the camera coming to the mountain next week has pre-production firmware. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
