Anyone bought X1 from Amazon lately?

I have been looking for one for several weeks both in the US and in Europe. I realized that I had to wait anyways so I decided to buy it from a dealer in Europe since it is cheaper. During this process I had emailed anyone who would listen, Leica germany, Leica US, many many dealers and so on. Yesterday I got an email from Leica US telling me they got a shipment and they are sending it to dealers today. Today I got an email from the shop I placed my order with in Austria telling me they are shipping my camera within a couple of days. So it seems that some cameras are surfacing this week.

Hmm, I don't which web sites you were looking at for me it was 1290 (excluding VAT) + 70 insured courier deliver (insured, 4 days) that is a total of 1360, per todays rates that 1662 dollars which 333 $ less than Amazon. For me it is worth it because that will pay for a nice card and an extra battery. At any rate it is showing "in stock" at B&H today Leica - X1 Digital Compact Camera With Elmarit 24mm - 18420 -

I was going to buy from Europe a few weeks ago when the Euro/Dollar exchange rate was better. Now by the time you pay insurance and shipping you can save only a few dollars.

 

I saved $150 back in February... I don't think the euros gained back to those levels yet.
