Canon doesn't need to wine and dine folks when they have a new product
announcement. The new gear is usually backordered for months due to
the demand. Good luck with your new Mavica.

Uh, just to put things in perspective, I went with Canon instead of
Nikon for the simple reason that B&H had 30ds in stock and the d200 had
been backordered everywhere for weeks.

I remember that backlog. I bought my D200 at Best Buy because they
actually had stock, none of the camera dealers did (perfectly good price
too). (I was upgrading from a Fuji S2 and had Nikon lenses going back
to 1980 at that point, so switching to Canon wasn't really an option.)
