Does anyone have good intel on delivery dates?  (referring to the XF and 3Q backs :)

Friend of mine is delivering her first child in August.

and that is indeed great news, certainly more important in the scheme of things! Congratulations to her. :)

I guess mine was a very ambiguous question, lol.

Indeed, good sir. Some specifics would greatly assist us in giving you an answer. :)

As I recall, the cameras are available now, except for the waist level finder.

The IQ3 60 is available now, with the 80 next month. 

I admit I wasn't paying close attention.  A dealer would be thrilled to talk to you.   :)

Synn, appreciating a smart ass as I do being one myself, I looked at your website and was very impressed with the quality of your work and the artistic originality!  Good job.

Dennis, I think delivery of the Phase XF will mean Christmas in July for many, at least for those in the US.

Hi Ken--you have a real basis for saying that or hunch? :)

I don't think it's much of a secret---mid-July is what my dealer told me to expect.  I'm only upgrading to the Phase XF body. IQ3 series is nice, but I'm really happy with my IQ180, even with its horrible dynamic range. Oh wait, wrong thread.... It just seems all the threads here end up the same...  ;D   (that's sarcasm btw)

Are you kidding, Ken? I'm sure I'll probably have to pay you to take that MFDB off my hands.   ;D
