At least you might know by then if there's any firmware issues with the
first shipments.

> I ordered an M8 some time ago, and at the time was told I was third on the
list at Keeble and Shuchat. Yesterday they told me the cameras would be in
today. I stopped by in late afternoon. A very nervous and stammering Jeff
Alford told me that I wasn't going to get a camera out of this batch and
that whoever told me I was third on the list was mistaken. Terry Shuchat was
standing 10 feet away with his arms crossed, listening to our conversation,
saying nothing.

> Jeff says they'll get their next batch "in a few weeks". Oh well. I'll
just keep drooling for another month and using the Digilux II and the Canon
SLR, both of which are fine cameras but neither of which is what I really
want to be using.
