Some SAR readers have been notified that their preordered Sony RX1 will ship next Tuesday December 4th via Amazon (Click here). Yesterday European Sonystores (DE–UK–FR–IT–ES–NL–SE–FI–CH) also started to ship the camera. Don’t forget that you can save some money by buying the $7 cheap chinese metal hood ([shoplink 15410 ebay]there is one here on eBay[/shoplink]) instead of the original expensive Sony hood.
And here are some new RX1 related news:
Kerry sent us the link to his RX1 article on Mysonyrx1. Than we have a first slow motion video on youtube. A video shot in Yokohama on youtube. An AF test by SLRclubreview on youtube.

This must be the most expensive P&S out there.
What about the people that pre-ordered it through the sony site? 🙁
Sony Europe is shipping. Sony US not 🙁
Yes, the best P&S will be here next week from amazon.com. THANKS.
2 troll reviews giving it 1/5 stars.
I asked Sony customer service why B&H and Amazon will receive the RX1 2 weeks before the Sony Store (USA) customers. This is their reply:
“Thanks for shopping with Sony!
Other reseller get’s their Sony merchandize in bulk intended for reselling that is why they can dictate the availability of these items. Sorry but the estimated date of shipment is 12/19/2012.
Thanks for choosing Sony”
In stock and on sale too (1.99$ saving)! Must be boxing day come early. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Some of them are starting to ship already. I’ll have mine Tuesday. 🙂

The RX1 sure get people emotional, especially the Sony haters and those who like to drag whatever they can’t afford through the mud.
i’m hoping for a price drop…. would like one, but the price is really out of my reach..!
ThisCheap Metal Hood is not Shipped to Germany :-((( How can I get one?
