I am just about to pull the trigger on buying the NX5U and the FMU128 Flash drive. I notice that the camera appears to be in stock at B&H, but the FMU is still showing at a pre-order.

Has anyone ordered both items in the last few days from B&H? And if so, what is the current wait times on the camera? And have you heard anything about the estimated availability of the FMU from B&H?

I would think they will have to extend the rebate offer on the FMU as it ends 3/31...and it's really not available yet from a large vendor like B&H. Only about 3 weeks to go before the expiration of the rebate...

Thanks for any info that others can share on this...John

I ordered the kit with the camera and the FMU, last Tuesday. After talking to them a couple times I got them to ship out the camera and it is supposed to be here tomorrow, and I just received a notice the the FMU should be in any day, and I will be receiving it soon.

Tapeworks Texas Inc currently has inventory on both the HXRNX5U and the HXRFMU128. Please call toll free 866-827-3489 and ask to speak with Scott and I would be glad to provide assistance. Additionally, You can order directly online via http://tapeworkstexas.com/sony_hxrnx5u.html and http://tapeworkstexas.com/sony_hxrfmu128.html However, speaking with clients on the phone provides me the opportunity to answer any questions you might have on the product and workflow.
