Isn't that why they invented PTO?

its a slight deviation from tangent, but based on my wedding/paid function experience, no way in hell would I walk into a wedding with a camera I've had 1-2 days to play around with.
i'm giving myself almost 3 weeks of experimentation before i'm putting mine into "service".
from tweaking menu items, to user modes, to even button configuration, I've had my k3 for about 2 years and occasionally in really hectic situations I STILL forget things like how to change the AF mode or change max allowable iso. if nothing else, the change in FoV for lenses will take a little mental reprogramming.
if you can pull it off, more power to you....

I went through the Ricoh check out process and as far as I'm concerned, the 3-7 business day for "delivery" sounds like ahead of B&H, for me at least. It's now a race. Who ships first. But yes, kinda annoyed that
B&H doesn't have enough stock to fill pre-orders
Ricoh says "Now Shipping" in email and status on completed order says "Will ship via - pre-order. We'll let you know when in stock."
Seriously, somebody needs to get their stories straight, especially for those of us on time-sensitive deadlines.
Will cancel or return the other and won't feel bad about it one bit. This is a little messy from the consumer standpoint.

the interesting irony is Ricoh just sent me an email saying I can have my K-1 in 3-7 business days if I order from them today
and still no word from B&H. hopefully they haven't been shorted on units like adorama apparently has.
only 50 preorders? I would have thought that number would be higher.
maybe the only people who bought K-1's are the ones posting in this forum?... lol
apparently no one else has.

So Ricoh has green lighted the release of battery grips now, but not of the body for 2 more weeks?....lol
That makes total sense.
I guess I can practice putting in and taking out the battery from the grip to tide me over until May..

For what it's worth, I just received notice from B&H my D-BG6 Battery Grip has been shipped....lol
No word on the actual body, yet.
