Well, to be honest that uncertainty is also a problem for me. I'm planning to be ready to leave by the first week of December. So I might end up having to have the camera shipped to where I am in Ecuador since I'm sure I'll have an ongoing back order at this rate.

I did not want the timing of its release to be the ultimate factor because it's fine if I have to pay extra if it is the right camera for me. Than again, I'm not sure how receiving packages will work when I am actually there, so there's that uncertainty.
