I’m looking for a new compact camera, and looking at Samsung’s website, I’m very tempted by the [WB750](http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/camera-camcorder/compact-cameras/performance/EC-WB750ZBPBGB).

I’ve Googled it, and there are plenty of sites showing Samsung’s press release for it, but literally no reviews, and only two sites showing it for sale (Jessops and Expansys). The fact that two sites are selling it shows that it is available (and I have checked that they actually have it - or in Expansys’s case, can actually get it).

Why would a manufacturer release a camera, and then not ensure that all the necessary sites had review models, and that it is readily for sale? I don’t get it.
