Through Amazon.com, you can "pre-order" a product that has not yet been released so that when the product is actually available, your credit card will be charged and the item will then be shipped to you. With "pre-ordering," you don't get charged until it ships. I "pre- ordered" my K100D from Amazon.com as well but I made a modification to the order which kicked the expected ship date out much farther in the future and so I ended up ordering from B&H when the K100D became available and canceling with Amazon.com. We'll see if Amazon.com gets the K10D first or if B&H does. Bryan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
