Because they can do it and sell it for a lot less .... like 1/3 the price of a Leica MF system.

I don't see much of a market.

The estimate for medium format digital cameras right now is a total of about 6,000 to 7,000 bodies a year.

While Leica might feel it has a decent chance to sell a $20,000 body, and multi thousand dollar lenses there, why would Canon and Nikon be interested?

My local camera shop says they are arriving this week. Amazon only got a token shipment from Canon so far and have no idea when more will arrive. It's in Canon's hands.

Well, I can't tell you how disappointed I am in both Canon and Amazon for this. I realize I am probably dumb for preording with Amazon, but I did it the day of the release. The disappointment is that they can't give me any update at all. Some people are receiving cameras from them, no clue what order we are in, how far down the list I am, or if I will have it by Christmas. I thought with them being huge, Canon would take care of them.

Lesson learned.

just got a voicemail from my moms (where i get most my crap shipped) that my package from hong kong just arrived today from digital rev. so my order was shipped the day after purchase and shipping took 3 business days. ill report back tomorrow after i go pick up the camera. as long as they shipped the actual correct camera and its not broken i can recommend them if you havent already pre-ordered and dont mind paying a significant premium
