The first shipment of 645D's to hit The Camera Store in Calgary were recalled by Pentax, as happened elsewhere in Canada. However a second shipment arrived late this week. I picked mine up on Friday, virtually elbowing my way to the counter through a small crowd lined up to play with the demonstrator unit. Okay, an exaggeration, but only a small one. :) There were 4 or 5 folks there to look at the 645D... seemed like a good bit of healthy buzz on a Friday at mid-afternoon.
Staff indicated these new cameras that arrived are a 2nd shipment, not the 1st (recalled) shipment come back again. No details were confirmed about why the first batch had to to go back. But since a 2nd batch came very quickly, in fact probably already were in transit when whatever happened to the first batch happened, it seems the issue with the recalled units likely wasn't anything that serious...
