Very high demand in the UK and huge demand in the US. Quite an achievement for an overpriced camera....
In germany the first shipment has been sold out already.

I've heard nothing yet - Ricoh distribution doesn't communicate too well. They can't comment on individual orders
In the 24th day of counting now.

In the Netherlands, the premium kits are listed as “currently unavailable”, but the standard camera is available. BTW is sold out also delivered? I guess not.

I'm interested that the USA has got the camera before the UK - I seem to remember it was the other way round with the K-1 - fairness or randomness, I wonder?

SRS have them, they are probably too busy shipping them and handling enquiries/visitors to update the website!

I bought my Atari ST from SRS. My Spectrum 48K might have been from there too. I don't remember. This wasn't last week or anything. It was a while ago.

Glad to see they are still in business and the paving stones of Watford are still covered in the characteristic sheen of the British weather.
Atari ST! I've gone through several versions of that - until the internet became functional, and I upgraded to an Apple clone. If I still lived in the UK, SRS would have been the place.

SRS informed me by email today that they didn’t get enough black kits and I will have to wait for the next batch in 2 weeks. Ruined my weekend.

I tried ordering a premium black kit in the US but was told they were sold out. So I'll be getting the camera + grip separately. No idea when the D-BG8 starts shipping though.

the US was the last country that had an opportunity to pre- order

the first was Australia, and some found a way to do it earlier and get a discount too then the official date for pre-order

then Europe, at least the UK,

then Canada and later that same day April 6, the US

For me only the Black Premium Kit shows as sold out in the EU store. Well, not sure if the other versions will be on backorder, but it lets me add them to the cart at least.

I'm looking forward to reading the feedback and seeing some images from the new camera but it looks like there aren't enough to go around at the moment.

And the Silver Premium Kit is on pre-order, available the beginning of May... Apparently they expect another batch of those kits.
So - have they sent me mine?
