Some movement and whispered rumors on availability...
 

Well I am beginning to see a little movement by the larger Sony dealers on the FS-100.

B & H just sent me a second notice to confirm my pre-order - weeks after the first one. Then AbelCine said they have been speaking to Sony about availability well before July. Rumors are flying around that it could be as early as end of this month.

Considering the March 11th disaster this is welcome news and I hope it is not hype.

Some good news is that B&H no longer mentions the JULY date, they now just say: New Item, Available for pre-order.

Sony making the manual available for download would be more encouraging.
