Still. Not. Here., originally uploaded by Itinerant.

I planned a whole year to use this camera at the Chinese New Years Parade March 3rd.

I held off buying other cameras because they announced it'd be shipping in February. They even announced it in the NY Times.

It is now the end of February and it. is. still. not. here. It's been introduced in most other countries (Canada, even) - but not in the US because the company's US marketing morons (to use Gareth Blackstock's favorite word) decided they wanted to wait until a *%&#*$%& trade show.

Logically, it isnt that big a deal. I c an go rent or buy another camera.

But, I am HIGHLY pissed off.
