I am one of the 680 hopefully close to the front of that line because I pre-ordered shortly after they announced. At the moment B&H looks like a good line to jump in for us folks in the US.
That is fascinating to hear about their 680 preorders since I think they had mentioned they had 800 preorders for the BMCC. 680 is less than 800, but when those 800 orders were received, people had not had the experience of waiting three-quarters of a year or more to get the camera. I'm sure many people have waited until either the BMPC4K actually began shipping or even until they could go into a retail outlet and see it on the shelf before they purchase it.
So I suspect these numbers bode well for BMD and the BMPC4K that they'll sell comparable numbers to the original cameras... and if raw recording follows shortly as well as some well known firmware upgrades that are highly desired and possibly an optional additional lens mount, it wouldn't surprise me that the BMPC4K becomes their best seller.
