Now who wants to trade their silver (long shot!) or black one for this one? Going to make a thread in the appropriate place in a second here...straight out of the box, yellow isn't going to work for me.

Received the black 40mm kit today. I bought it from amazon third party seller few days ago.

Shutter count is 0. But its manufacture date is 3/27/2012 !!!

Just got mine from Amazon. Mfg. Date Sept. 13, 2012. Everything works so far.

Manufacture date 8-30-2012 showed up in the exif data on frame number one.

I'm glad to see that these are still trickling out. I'm starting to get impatient. Haha. Northbehr order just 5 days before me, so if his arrives today I guess mine shouldn't be far behind. Still, I haven't seen any change in my status on Amazon. Will it really get here by Feb 28? Only time will tell I guess.

Interestingly, it looks like Amazon is taking orders for most of the color/lens combinations again.

northbehr · 02-20-2013, 11:21 PM

I got mine yesterday, Feb. 19th. Finally!!!

Bought the white body plus 40mm lens from B&H for 379 on Monday, should arrive today. I haven't been this excited about photography in years.

I bought this same kit from B&H and I love it. The lens is great on my k30 or the k-01 and the white body is really cool looking and feels good to hold when taking pics. I have been taking it out more than the k-30 this week.

Hey, this thing is great. Love the features, IQ and the look. I'll see if the Mrs. wants one too - she likes to take pictures as well and at this price it's an incredible deal.

I was surprised at how much sharper my M 135mm got with the SR. My *isd DS doesn't have SR so it's a whole new world to me as is the 16MP sensor.

Any more updates from folks receiving their cameras from Amazon? My shipping window begins today and goes till 28th March. I am kicking myself for ordering late (Jan 16th).
