USA and X1

I've been lurking a bit, since the X1 will be my first Leica. I sent a message to "technical support" about when I would receive my fully prepaid order here in Hawai'i and the gentleman said

"We just received the first shipment into the country this week and have been sending what we have right out to our dealers. Your best bet is to see if your dealer has heard from his Leica Sales Rep. on whether he will be getting any, since they’re allocated by date of order. With that info your dealer will be able to advise his customers where they stand."

 

If that helps anyone...

Dear Mr. (JSRockit),

 

Leica dealers all over the country are just now receiving their very first units, and I'm guessing they will hand these over to customers that had pre-ordered months ago.

 

Best regards,

It has been a long time since I bought anything from OneCall.com (the link provided above), but they were great back then. I just checked them on resellerratings.com and they have a 9.33 lifetime rating so I guess they are still good.

I'm confused... you can order from leica directly or are you "connected?"

 

Leica NJ got their batch of X1s on Thurs and shipped them out to stores on Fri. Mine was shipped directly from them because I won it in a photo contest.

I guess that explains why it now says "Temporarily out of stock" instead of "Approx Arrival February" on the B&H website. They must have gotten their shipment and had it instantly depleted through all their pre-orders and anyone else who was lucky enough to be in the store last Thursday.

As for New Zealand, maybe the end of the month...nobody knows. I think about six people have them so far worldwide. Free leather case? Forget it. Preferential treatment for Euro customers by the look of it!

David, Australia got a lot more than that! I'm told that the entire shipment has now sold out though. One of them has actually appeared on eBay here. I played with one (and the S2) here on Friday over beers. Fortunately DoF has at least reduced the impact of the unattractive object supporting the cameras.

I kept trying to put it up to my eye, but I was very impressed with the handling and the dozen or so casual shots I took.

or on their website - I've been making a habit of randomly checking their x1 order page a few times a day always getting the "Approx Arrival in Feb" message. But last thursday afternoon i had to do a double take, it said "Add to Cart". I typed as fast as I could on that blasted phone keyboard and was able to get the order in before it disappeared, X1 should be here tomorrow! So my recommendation is - if you're waiting on an X1 bookmark the B&H order page and hit refresh often!
