Re: Tonight's serial number summary:
In reply to tesilab, 5 months ago

I wonder if the serial numbers here in the Netherlands begin with a different sequence of 4 digits. The RX1 has been in stock at Sony Netherlands for a few days (I noticed it on the 11th of December) but has still not shipped to the local retailer where I placed my order. That's too bad as I'm going on a short trip this afternoon.

3500984 12/5/2012 Sony CA
5522240 12/12/2012 Sony AU

Some points:

  • Unless I misunderstood, it looks like almost all cameras reported were ordered from the US.
  • The dates are very imprecise, since some or you are reported when it was received, or when it was ordered, when the most significant piece of intelligence would be when it shipped.
  • I took the liberty of editing a date or too, when it became clear what was actually reported.
  • Looks like I lost the bid for lowest serial number (who out there has 3500001?)
  • We have the appearance of the first serial number that doesn't begin with 3500.
  • We can only conservatively extrapolate the manufacture of about 937 RX1s, so far (based on an admittedly tiny and bias sample) (The method is to simply subtract the largest from the smallest number that doesn't contain any obvious sequence gaps, such as a series of RX1's that apparently begin with 55 rather than 35)

I am also collecting any info on any defects noted on the camera (dust, aperture blades, DOA, etc.)
