40D out now in Hong Kong?

i know there is 4 million threads on the 40D, but just found this on flickr http://flickr.com/phot​os/stu_plaw/ so it is out and ready to buy in Hong Kong? anyone from Hong Kong on here to confirm?

Here's a thread on DPR that discusses a recent purchase in HK:

about half way down the page, he has a pic of the 40D and a couple of other cameras he owns..

There are a few other guys on DPR that have been posting sample images from their 40D

I read in a thread here that someone confirmed that the 40D was released in Asia on August 20th (with HK being first to receive shipments, I suppose). For whatever reason, Japan's release date is 8/31, or so I've read.
