Zeiss Taking Orders for ZI Body

I just recieved an email from Zeiss anouncing that they are taking orders for the ZI, for an August delivery.

Strange... Now they're saying their dealers are accepting orders for one of the special edition of 1200, whereas they were taking reservations themselves some six months ago. Which I did... now I wonder if that had any effect.

Doug, the "reservation" entitled you to receive an e-mail from Hasselblad telling you the ZI can now be ordered. 😉

Whee, I'm anxiously awaiting my invitation! 😀 Actually I'm of two minds about this, as I'd prefer black for this camera, so may wait. OTOH the first 1200 is a special edition... or is it a "beta" edition?

Doug, I can forward my e-mail to you if Hasselblad has fallen down on the job. 🙂

I'm inclined to wait for a black version myself, not only because I prefer black but also 'cuz it should give Cosina & Zeiss time to correct any first-run issues that may show up. I'm holding off on my upgrade to Mac OS X Tiger for much the same reason.

I'm with you in waiting for a black ZI, but why upgrade to Tiger ? 😀 I'm just waiting for apple do bring an upgrade that actually does something usefull 😛

I'm really excited about the viewfinder. What anticipated eye relief.

Thanks, Dave, not necessary to forward the email; if I don't receive it then clearly my very early "reservation" didn't get into their system. And my "beta" comment agrees with your "let's wait a bit" approach. 🙂

I'm holding off on Tiger too, to give time for all applications needing upgrades to have them available. I am looking forward to the file indexing, as I liked that feature of Sherlock in OS9.

Stephan Hi! Tiger is a leap forward actually. I just got it on friday. Spotlight and dashboard are great features among many.
