Good for you! Having done that, please be sure also to put your fingers where your mouth is... er, your mouth where your fingers are... um, anyway, when you get your new ZI, please be sure to write us an exhaustive post about what you think of it!

That IS one sexy looking camera. Now if i could only scrounge up the $3000+ i would need for the body and a lens.

With any luck, I'm either in line for a promotion or career change in November. I've also seen the other side -- got laid off in 2003, the depths of the dot-com crash. This side is a lot more fun.

I'd really like to kick the tires soon, or else I'll just have to settle with a new black Bessa.

Good! It's been ages for me since I get a new camera...
Nope, not this time.

Let me wish you not only an exhaustive testing session, but more importantly, MANY GOOD PHOTOS with your new camera (when it comes)

The last new camera I bought was an XPan to celebrate the elimination of my job.

'Deliveries of the bodies have begun' - prbably means the're being loaded in to the shipping crates for the long sea trip from Japan. I spoke to the UK importer yesterday afternoon to be told (by a non-sales person) 'the bodies aren't here yet', with the underlying sense of a couple of weeks to go. Remember folks take a salespersons advice with a pinch of salt (sometimes with a pack of Saxo ). Look on the bright side - it gives us more time to save up.

Cameras are small and light - so let's hope they will ship by air!
Enjoy your new system, Zeissfan!

They're actually being shipped from Sweden. Cosina is the distributor only in Japan; Hasselblad is the distributor for the rest of the world, so if they posted that it means they have been received in Sweden, which is good news. Dealers outside Japan were told that they were being shipped first week in November, so this notice on the website means that they are ahead of schedule. Since it's not far from Sweden to the UK, I expect that your dealer will be pleasantly surprised unless he's low down on the priority list. My dealer was expecting to receive his within about a week from the ship date.
