Title: X1D 4116 edition pre-order
Post by: madlantern on February 21, 2017, 10:16:25 pm
I pre-ordered an X1D 4116 edition on B&H. They initially said it'd ship in Feb, but now they no longer have an estimate for shipping. Has anyone heard when the 4116 edition will ship? Has any store actually shipped them yet?

Some 4116s have shipped through B&H and other dealers, but worldwide all of the X1Ds are still apparently very much back ordered despite the fact that Hasselblad has ramped up production in the last month or two.

Do you have any idea if any deal would be faster than the others? For example, Adorama vs B&H? Are they the only ones selling it in the US?

B&H. No, they are not the only ones delivering it in the US, but they seem to be delivering the most.

I received an X1D Standard Edition on January 20 and had my name on the waiting list for a 4116 Edition at two brick-and-mortar retailers. Ace Photo (near Washington, DC) shipped a 4116 Edition to me on February 3 and I've been using it for the past three weeks. So I know for sure that other US retailers have received the 4116.

Have you received the one shipped from Ace Photo yet?

Yes, he received it. He meant that he was sent the 4116 that day, not that he was still waiting for it.
