X-T10 deliveries... starting tomorrow?

[MintMark]

I rang my local camera shop and they didn't seem sure... and said the end of the month.

I looked on Amazon (UK) and they say the 18th June (tomorrow).

 

So I ordered from Amazon...

 

It says they will dispatch it today for delivery tomorrow... so I'm quite excited!

 

But will it really happen?

 

Does anybody know anything different?

Shipping should indeed start tomorrow, at least most stores are listing the 18 June as the start of the shipping

[MintMark]

Well, no dispatch notice yesterday and at 3am on delivery day an email saying "Sorry, unexpectedly out of stock" and a 3-5 week estimate.

 

So much for impulse buying... back to plan A.

Just called my shop. It's in, gonna pic it up tommorow.

[jeremyclarke]

Currently resisting the urge to call my shop because they said they would call me when it's ready...

 

 

Resisting.....

[bluewater77]

Couldn't resist any more, picked it up. It's gorgeous. Super fast and small, viewfinder is a bit smaller but good. I like it.

[MintMark]

*sigh*... I haven't found anywhere with stock in the UK yet.

I will call your shop if you will call my shop.

[jeremyclarke]

I will last until it's about to become too late for me to get over there before they close. 

[jeremyclarke]

GAH! Broke down and called them: They don't have them yet and don't even have a date from Fuji!

 

Fooey, maybe it's a Canada-wide thing.

X-T10's arrived at our warehouse yesterday and were distributed to stores today so nope, not Canada-wide. Some people that pre-ordered in Vancouver picked theirs up already.

Amazon UK still says 3-5 weeks delivery! Have been in touch with local LCE over XT10 stock and the Fuji rep said there was an issue with 'no CDR in box' so the stock was held back due to that. Having said that they were told a delivery should be with them on the Friday (19th) but they never did.

 

Frustrating!

[MintMark]

I'm right there with you Ben... my LCE (London Camera Exchange) are expecting some "any day now" and will ring me, so I'm on standby

 

I was hoping to get it before the Formula E motor racing in London at the weekend...

It's horrifying to think that this could be the reason our cameras haven't arrived. I don't even have a player for CDs in my house any more since I got a recent MacBook. If there was an option to not get the CD I would take it for environmental reasons!

[benhoward]

Same here, I wanted mine for a weekend visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon! Never mind.

 

The CD thing is strange, my answer was who uses CDs anymore.

 

This will be my first venture into mirrorless and Fuji, not sure I want to wait 5 weeks as I've been waiting since May already.

UK resident here. I'm getting frustrated waiting for my pre-ordered XT10 from Wex. Why can't Fujifilm UK give us an update via Twitter. They use that medium frequently and I have asked them but got no response.

[jeremyclarke]

My camera is in! I managed to see they had it available for sale on their website and I called them before they got to me on the list :S

 

Oh well, hope everyone else's stores get theirs soon! Sounds like a "we don't know when they'll be in" probably means they'll get them soon at least

[Diggers]

Great news buddy. Fingers crossed for the rest of us! I hate waiting for anything! First time I have ever pre-ordered a new product too....

[benhoward]

My local LCE has the silver XT10 in stock!!!

 

Going in later (hopefully) to pick one up! Also Jessops has 1 black one in stock at HQ.

[MintMark]

I hope you got what you wanted Ben.

 

I've just ordered one from wex where they seem to have both bodies in stock. Fingers crossed for a Friday delivery!

[MintMark]

Well, wex say they have dispatched it... so this time tomorrow I could be learning my new camera!

[T-Man]

Nice. It is actually a pretty decent camera. Got mine on the 18th. By the way, the metal grip is a necessity.

[MintMark]

I think you're right, but not available yet.

 

I'll be using it with the 55-200 at the weekend, so I think I'll appreciate the need

[T-Man]

I pre-ordered

I pre-ordered mine with the camera. Kenmore Camera in Kenmore (Seattle suburb) have them available. You can order it online, if you are not local. Have fun shooting.

Same for me. Lozeau (Montreal) had the leather half-cases before the cameras, then the cameras came in but they still had no grips in stock. I hadn't tried to pre-order so maybe that would have worked, but when I went to pick up my camera they didn't even have MGH-XT10 in their system :S

 

I really wanted to try it out before buying, but I'll probably give in and just buy it. I prefer the huge chunky grips from Really Right Stuff, but it looks like they haven't really been building that style for recent cameras (exists for X-E1/X-E2 but not X-T1), so I may be waiting forever with a hand cramp. 

 

FWIW 35mm f/1.4 is fine with the half-case, but my new 16mm f/1.4 is super uncomfortable to hold with one hand for any period of time. Sure it's pretty much bigger than the whole camera, but I think a nice hefty grip would make a world of difference.

 

I don't understand why Fuji is so skimpy with the built-in grips. Who wouldn't welcome a little more by default? And even they they should still release add-on grips both for the arca-swiss plate and for those who want a truly DSLR-esque grip to hold on to.
