Hard to understand what is 'limited edition' about it....
Freely available in Far east and Germany for some time.
So why 'limited edition' of 200 in the UK?
More like, "we are only likely to sell 200 at this price so rather than admit it isn't going to fly off the shelves let's call it a limited edition"
Probably also a stop gap till the next generation comes out soon.
Widely reported back in May when it was announced
e.g.

also reviews on slashcam (I guess because it is already available in Germany)

main difference to TM300 is double the memory, and apparently better low-noise capability, and a new OIS mode.
