My local store got two this afternoon. Now he only has one.

For those of you still waiting: May The Fourth Be With You!

B&H has sent mine to the warehouse for shipping today. For reference pre- order was done on 3/23/16. In the meantime I got to actually hold one that came in at my local camera store. All I can say is what a beautifully engineered camera. Great ergonomics, solid in the hands like the k-5/k-3 series bodies and just the right size. The salesperson bought one of the two that came in and the other was on hold for another customer. Their staff is really excited about the camera and several are planning to sell their Nikon/Canon gear and go with the K-1. I think Ricoh really did hit one out of the park with the K-1. Nikon is giving $300 off and a free Nikon grip with their FF bodies. Think the competition is getting a bit nervous?

I ordered through Focus Camera today 05/03 and it said that it will be shipped the same day if I ordered before 2PM. It was 12:30 so I was exited !!! Unfortunately my small brain didn't realise that I live in California and Focus Camera is in NY. So yeah waiting for them to ship it tomorrow ...
I saw some left on amazon but $100 more expensive I think.

My pre-order date is 03/06/2016. However, the order status is the same ("on order"). I do not know what is going on at B&H....

I was a loyal Nikon user, but today I decided to sell my Nikon gear and go all in with Pentax. Nikon just simply can't compete anymore with Pentax. So far, purchased the 28-70mm zoom for the k-1.

Call them tomorrow. Mine was showing up like that earlier today, so I called customer service to ask whether I would receive one from the initial shipment or should expect to wait for a subsequent one. The rep. went into the system, snagged one for me and tagged it to go to the warehouse for shipping. Status change for my order appeared not long afterward.
