Boom! Thanks for the heads up. Camera is already inbound!
It’s true…. I received an official 10 day hold complements of Sony. Tween this and the phantom stateside Z2, I bid you adieu Sony. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
I ordered the minute B&H announced it. If it is in stock mine should be on its way, but I have not received shipping notice. Ergo, your rumor appears to be wrong.
WHAT?!? Rumors can be wrong??!?
Just kidding 😉 Some below you will receive their RX100 soon 😉
Update: called them and asked for expedited shipping and they confirmed mine will go out today. Note that non-expedited shipping orders (>2 days) only go out tomorrow.
Mine’s on it’s way! Thanks for the heads up.
Did you get shipping confirmation? If not than it is not on its way. Dpreview users are reporting that B&H changed their minds about when to send the cameras, after being bullied by Sony to hold them until May 20.
Uuuuum, May 20th was 3 weeks ago. Like, in the past.
How long until you will realize that I meant June 20? ;-p
Interestingly enough, the website currently states: “Item available for preorder and will ship beginning Fr, Jun 20”
Wow…well that was fast. Sony normally ships about 150-200 units per pallet in overpacks. So that would be a minimum shipment. So…that means BH sold at least that many in like 3 hours. But it could have been more than one pallet. Impressive!
Admin, note that B&H got cold feet after Sony bullied them into holding the camera until May 20, and B&H will hold the cameras at their warehouse as a result. Disappointing especially for those who cancelled orders with other retailers as a result of B&H’s screwup.
Btw, my source for this is multiple customers reporting on dpreview forum, with some of them hearing it straight from the horse’s (B&H) mouth.
Why does Sony even care? Just sell the cameras if they are ready. I’m sure there is more demand than supply right now. A lot of people would like to have it in time for trips etc.
Maybe they want to be cool like Apple and that involves a level of control freakishness 🙂
people are buying this gimmick?
Spend 15k on all sorts of camera systems, will get you jaded with gears fast. Resale value on cameras are not bad, you get 80% of the money back. Now if you keep shooting…lets say after 4 years, only thing that keeps you going is composition and color. Sharpness barely matters. Bokeh don’t matter. Take a look at 500px or flikr do all those shots bore the hell out of you? if so, the rx100 is what you need..or fuji x20/x100.
Sony makes some really nice gimmicks. If I had the funds I would be buying this gimmick as well.
I love shooting with version II of this gimmick. It’s very freeing after a bout of large SLR shooting, but I still get to keep my manual controls and RAW files.
I have loved my version I gimmick for over a year. What non-gimmick do you shoot with when you pull it out of your front pocket of your jeans?
$800 for a point and shoot. Judging from photos around the internet(previous model) seems like a high performance camera. But my gut still says that it should be $100-$150 cheaper
It is cheaper, it’s called RX100 or RX100II.
oh no… I couldn’t have figured that out those facts by myself /s
None of these cameras shipped from B&H yesterday according to B&H Customer service. They did mention Sony shipping restrictions…
Sony and I just broke up
I called B&H and they confirmed that they are in stock. They also confirmed that they will not be shipping them until June 20th. I have one on pre-order. I am looking to receive it June 25th
