Where can I pre-order the HVR-Z1?

I called B & H Photo, but they won't take my order until it's "officially" announced in February. By then I'm worried it will be too late. Is there anywhere I can order it now?

Nope. By decree of Sony, no one can legitimately take orders for this cam now.

Be VERY careful of Globalmediapro. They are a grey-market dealer. Read the fine print at the bottom of their website.
Sony said at the press conference that no one should be taking pre-orders on this cam.
From GlobalMedia Pro's website:

Globalmediapro is not an authorised dealer of JVC, Panasonic, Sony nor many other manufacturers whose products are presented on the website.

Buying greymarket is definitely a buy-at-your-own-risk proposition. Without having dealer support....what if there is a problem?
