Your PentaxForums registration, on the other hand, has not changed in price since January, 2011.

No bugs.
Price drop not likely.
Probably not any time soon then, Racer.

It is in my hands. :cool:
They threw in a small Bower flash, a lightweight monopod and 64Gb Lexar Platinum ll 200x card so the sales tax doesn't hurt that much.
[EDIT:] I'll add that the dealer is in a part of the suburbs that I never go to. I sat in traffic for 45 minutes to travel three miles. How do people do this every day?

Canceled B&H. My local Dealer has them in stock and put one aside. I'll have it tonight.

So. B&H just told me June 1st. Maybe.
I edited out the rant. It isn't the waiting. I pre-ordered late; I get that. It is the constantly changing story, and that they laid it all off on Ricoh. I have completely lost confidence that I even have a place in line, or a real, valid order. I can imagine June 1st coming around and going through the same cycle, and it really does get pushed to August.
[Further Edit] Bought locally from Dealer stock. It was on the shelf.

For the vast majority of us K-1 is basically an adult toy. For a few more dedicated hobbyists it is a fine tool that will increase enjoyment of the hobby. I'd bet most if not all of the users who actually earn money with a camera have an account Rep at some dealer and made a verbal reservation. I'd also bet they got their cameras toot de suite.
Which is why we're not hearing much from them.

I'm actually having fun watching the mass social behavior on the Forum. I'm good just waiting for my fill because (despite a few moments of frustration with not knowing anything) I'm not in a hurry. I have a drawer full of manual lenses that will quietly wait another week or two. Any time before August is fine with me. For my niece's wedding and the Berkshires in spring -- DA Limiteds or FA Limiteds -- they're all fun!
Those who are truly impatient are welcome to my spot in line, to a point. :)

Huh. Adorama is pretty much open order. B&H is pretty much 'heavily backordered'.

In a Macro sense the tight supply and quotes such as "deeply backordered" are pleasing and good.
On a micro level - Damn and Blast!!

No Expected Delivery Date at this time. Heavily Backordered. I interpet that to mean I am not going to fill in the next shipment, either.

That just doesn't sound correct. Maybe the rep meant another shipment.

At B&H, the 'On Order' indicator changed from gray to green today.*

I put it on a tabletop tripod at my wife's recent birthday party and grabbed candid shots from my phone from another room. They're cool, but you can't preview what you are shooting.

I don't know. And if they do, how do they know I am the husband?I bought the prior version (Theta M15) retail at B&H.

This seems an appropriate point to remind the thread that RIAC in Denver is really small - like fewer than 50 people, from the President down to the janitor. Many services, such as Customer Service (the Chat function) are contracted out to third parties. It is possible the person on the other end of your chat didn't know the answer because it isn't coded in the answer tree - and was attempting to get a live response from Ricoh.
Don't KNOW that, but I wouldn't be surprised.

See below
Yes. It was a deeply ironic comment on the coincidental timing - and a 'look-in-the-mirror' question about my priorities. :cool:
Nevertheless - seriously? A new Theta? (I have the M15 - a fun toy). ;)

Yesterday I sent an email to Ricoh Imaging NA's Marketing Director suggesting (they) make some kind of informative release describing expected USA K-1 shipping dates, etc. I received a standard 'Out-of-Office on company business' Reply.
Today I received a well-designed [EDIT - mass] -marketing email suggesting I buy my wife a new Ricoh Theta S to capture all those fun family memories.
Seriously? Is Marketing even in the game? Do they not know what's going on out here - or am I in The Bubble? *
* Should have stuck to the original plan and held off until August. Just got another unexpected windfall - but this time I'm sticking to the Plan. NO 24~70. Nope. Not gonna happen. :mad:

IMO, if they intend to compete they don't seem to do a very good job of it.
