When is this camera going to be available? Any release dates announced? I heard October but it doesn't seem to be available yet.

You can already purchase it on pentax's website, but for amazon should be this month.

When you call customer service to order one at Sony, they aren't honest about what is going on. They try saying it is "just such a popular best selling item that it has already sold out" which makes no sense because it's not available online yet even and there are no existing reviews out there from apparently all these people who possess the camera already. So I held off on ordering right now and I'd prefer to order it through Amazon anyway.

Yes when? I waiting for this 28 days and nothing. So what next?. I check B&H and they have in stock but with 55-200mm lens kit so I think we have to wait.

According to what I've seen, the press release came late August and the official product launch is set for September 25th:http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/camcorders/products/sanyo-xacti-vpc-pd2bk

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues. Would upgrade from mkII. Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP. But alas, I'll refrain.

Thank you very much for your review and for posting the pics, which look really great. I am kicking myself for not preordering this camera. I kept vacillating between the Pentax K-X and this one. I would like to be able to take good photos in low light and to have a big zoom (like a moon shot, for example). Any insight you might have would be welcome.

Ye, i saw on some sites that they will start shipping 08/31 and 09/01. I just received an e-mail from Amazon regarding this question and their answer was "I've checked the availability for "Canon PowerShot SX20IS" and see it hasn't been released yet and the expected release date is not known. We rely on the manufacturer for release date information. We'll make sure to update our website listing when we know more."I'm hoping they'll have it by 01/09. The other seller on amazon (OneCall) says it's in stock.. but not sure how!

Thanks for the input and advice. I'm new to high-end(expensive) digital camera market. I realized after I posted this question that the camera is sold out or otherwise unavailable now and it could take a month or two to get one even if I ordered today. I'll definitely look into buying one in the next few months.

As you may know, the camera is out. Mine is due to arrive from Amazon tomorrow. (I pre-ordered back in February)For some sample photos taken in hands of real users here's a link <<Please note: at the bottom another photographer "phat-slug" included 14 pictures taken that can be blown up for evaluation>>http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1007&thread;=37922920

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

I spoke with a local photography shop today, and they said the ship date was 5/1, which mean that they would have in stock a few days later. I also called Adorama and spoke with a sales representative who quoted me the 5/1 date. So all of the press has said April availability, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the US. I'm going to call B&H; tomorrow, just to be sure, but otherwise it looks like we will all be sitting back and waiting another month.

At last it is January now...By this time, Leica should let us know when in January it will be available. Or it will be good if Amazon.com team give us that information for users...

Was just on Sony's website and it shows you can purchase the HX100 again with the ship date of May 16th. Do you think Amazon will be getting it then also or should I just get it through Sony? I have had it on order here since April 13th.

The Sept 1 press release for this product said Oct 2 release date (which was when the pre-order finally showed up on Amazon). I contacted Samsung on Oct 2, and they said "Early October" release. They couldn't give me any more details, so I guess we can expect this within two weeks. I felt "hinted" that we'd know something more definitive by Oct 5, although the sales rep couldn't say much. No word on the included accessories either, and even some of Amazon's specs for the different models don't line up with what Samsung originally announced in the press release. I hope this gets straightened out soon.

It will become available on or about 3/22...Given the fact that most ultrazooms tend to get shaky at far range of the zoom even with the image stablization built in to reduce it. I would have to read reviews before plunking down $429. I have owned ultrazooms put out by Panasonic Lumix and Olympus and they all have that problem. If this problem has been resolved and a tripod to steady the image is no longer necessary, I would consider buying it and adding it to my collection. Read the reviews first!
