1Dx full Res images

Just though I'd pass on that the 1Dx is being delayed. Canadian retailers still list them. One of them mentioned on their site that the bodies are expected in May now instead of March.

Makes me wonder how crippled Canon production facilities are by last year's power plant and tsunami disasters. Ever since, products keep getting pushed back. Or is it a sign that Canon is about to make some last minute changes in light of D800 announcement? Hope they don't do something rashly.

Canon's largest damage in the tsunami was the plant that makes the big supertelephoto lenses. I think this is why we see a delay in the new 500 and 600mm II's. From what I have read Canon's camera production didn't suffer that much. Also Canon's research and development labs, from what I understand, had no impact at all. On the other side I thought I understood that Nikon's camera production was hurt in the tsunami, and Nikon has reported losses in Thailand.

I would have thought the tsunami would have given Canon an edge up on Nikon, since Canon weathered the storm better than Nikon.
