Of course it did! +T to you for getting me on that one. I'm just heading to Portland in a few hours and would love to be able to walk in to Cascade and walk out with a new toy!

yeah, i'm hoping to have it for four corners folk fest on labor day, but don't have high hopes.  maybe two weeks later for blues and brews.  but i'm looking to pull the trigger on a da-r1000, so at least i'll have new toys for these shows.

the only bad thing about this unit, is that I can just see myself dumping a ton of money into a whole new playback system once I start doing 24 bit.

I'm debating whether to even start recording at 24 bit, actually...I might just archive the raw 24 bit files until I get a system that can handle them. Hell, my playback system is barely 16 bit.

BTW, check it out - 4GB CF for $182 shipped:

Yeah, that was in the Retail Forum. Jumped on that. Thanks for lookin out Dave!

Oh man that is soo cool. I think I'm gonna bite. Accepts microdrives and Hitachi now has 6gig ones for around $250. Pick up and couple of those and an external battery and be good to go for 2496.

be careful going with microdrives and their higher susceptibility to failure...you may want to do some reading into them before you drop that kind of cash on media.  most pro photogs will not use microdrives for this reason...

Just pre-ordered mine through www.djmart.com   Their price is $399.99, but you'll get 10% off during checkout using the coupon code AUGUST10.  Total including shipping was $368.00   DJMart also has a "negotiate your price" option, but didn't bother trying it to see if I could get the price down even more.  $360 with the 10% off coupon code is a pretty good deal already.  I can't see them going much lower than that, but I'd be curious if anyone does get a better price through negotiation.  DJMart expects to receive their first shipment within the next couple weeks.

Well, I've just jumped on the bandwagon as well. Hopefully mine will be in the first batch to ship as well. (I figured that all of our normal vendors waiting lists are full and this seemed like a great deal)
Thanks for the link +T

fwiw i think franks list at cascademedia still has room on it...he made it sound like he was getting a big old shipment and had room for more on the list.

[gewwang]

i doubt any of us will have any trouble stealthing it, considering the sizes of things stealthed in the past.  to me, that isn't a worry at all.

I understand that House of Blues wands everyone and is tough to stealth.

It's not just the size of the gear that matters, it's also whether it sets off the metal detectors. Some of these new devices like the R1 don't set them off.

Ahh crap!!! That's what I get for playing the guessing game. It was definately an impulse buy. I don't do that very often.

That's why you should always call before ordering

So how are we going to short hand this device for the recording info

PS: I think we're way past the vaporware stage on this one.
