OMG, I wasn't expecting this to be available before my vacation. Just ordered with overnight shipping. Woot!

Just got off a chat session with B&H regarding my order for the black body and grip ordered on Monday, 10/7/2013. The body is in, but the grip is still in transit due any day now to B&H. I asked to split the shipment which isn't any more in shipping charges. My K-3 and the 32GB SDHC card are shipping out today so I should get it by the end of next week or sooner. No tracking info yet.

All this talk about selective AA and tracking AF and extra megapixels and RGB metering . . . and I'm JUST NOW hearing for the first time about this groundbreaking auto-selfie feature?

Last time I heard anything about the silver ones, and this was before the black ones even came in stock, was that they are expected to arrive toward the end of the month.

Thanks Adam.

I'd say you can probably expect it Wednesday. Another member lives in LA and that's his expected delivery date. Mine is supposed to be here Monday (I'm closer to NY), but I'm also waiting on a grip.

Yes, there is a update to the tracking information and it will be Wednesday. I should have it by noon time at my office. I already charged the spare battery I got for it. I may bring in my gear to try a few quick test shots.
