I pre-ordered the SC700d on Oct 27th. Since then - the shipping date was always listed as "starts shipping Dec 14th". That's come and gone and no one on the "other" forum has received a shipping notice either. Now the status is listed as "back ordered".
Looks like I'll see it in 2019.
Shipping notice received .
What was your order date? Someone else on the "other" forum got a shipping notice.
10/19, should arrive Saturday .
Lucky you. I have my Samsung 21700 40T & 48G ready & charged - for some runtime graphs.
Let’s hope you get your shipment soon; as your graph information will be very helpful .
Emisar D4S is brighter, initially.
Battery included was at 3.4 v, so I used my 40T purchased from liionwholesale.com
Much more of a thrower than I thought it would be. Orange peel works.
Tests will tell but it sure appears to hold brightness well.
Anodizing color much closer to my earlier Zebralights. (less dark)
Tint is such an personal preference, yet for me (WW aficionado) neutral in the right way.
Hopefully, everyone is satisfied with their purchase.

Yes, photo please with a comparison light for size. Maybe next to a SC600.
More of a thrower than you thought it would be… Now I am curious!

User Boro has given me permission to post photos of his SC700d. To the left of the SC700d (on the first photo) is a Zebralight SC600w. I think these are the first such photos, other than the single photo on Zebralight's website. Thanks again to Boro.

That’s looks like one bada$$ light!
I’m very happy with my two Zebralights, but if I was ever pressed to get another I’d definitely give that one a try!
Thanks for showing pics next to a variety of other lights. It’s hard to tell the size when just photographed in hand. Now I can compare it to my Zebralight, D4 and SC26.
Yeah, thanks for the pics. Are you happy with the size? I’m hoping they put an xhp35 hi in this, then I would HAVE to pick one up.
The size of the light is fine, it is the beam quality and maintaining brightness which is remarkable, I think the tests will prove it is a next level light .
How is tint deviation from hotspot to corona to spill?
Great to hear! This one might need to go to the top of my list.
SC700d ordered 10/27, received shipping and tracking # today. 
USPS update: , expected delivery Friday, Jan 4th.
update Friday (Jan 4th): out for delivery
wow, I ordered 12/8…
Couldn’t wait, so I canceled when I picked up a flip on the ‘other site’
Yea, the anodizing tint discussion, I've been following.
Some folks over there are overly picky when it comes to tint and anodizing finish. ZL uses natural HA so every light may vary sightly, and the tint seems fine from what I’ve seen in pictures. There have been far worse tints in other XHP70.2 lights such as Acebeam L30 (I like mine but the corona drives me crazy when used indoors).
ZL are workhorses and not just pretty shelf queens which you turn on once in a while to admire how perfect it is. Based on the comments from the other forum and their obsession with the “ZL tint lottery” one might think they are really that bad, but actually even the worst tints are pretty decent, I mean they are Cree emitters after all and for $120 I wouldn’t expect cherry picked leds.
