Ordered mine on March 9th. Shipping date April 16- May 1. No change of status. No notifications. Frustrated.

ordered mine on day 1, delivery date of april 29 turned into May 1 and now it says I will get an email when they know something about it, very frustrating experience

Mine got pushed back to the queue, after I increased the shipping speed to a day from two. Placed order on Mar-26.

Oh No....I guess I will get a not so good change of status..don't Amazon give 25 dollars for undelivered goods?We should all ask 25 from amazon :)

I don't know if the $25 applies to pre-orders... but I will ask just in case :)

I ordered a D800 from AMZN at 10:32 PST on 2/6 and I still show 4/13-5/1 as estimated delivery date. I am expecting another email from AMZN on 5/1 requiring me to approve another delay. We shall see...

We all realize this item is backordered now... My issue is that it seems like amazon didn't receive ANY 5DmkII bodies.I also have a pre-order (Sept. 18) and have heard nothing, if they could just let me know that they didn't have enough to get to me in the first batch and they are waiting for more cameras that'd be great. I just want some kind of confirmation.

Just received the camera today. waited forever for amazon. ended up buying it from tigerdirect.com. came with free shipping (fast too...ordered it on thurs). so far i'm really impressed with the camera. can't believe that even after this whole thread, amazon still maintains that the product has "not been released". I totally understand if they, for some reason, can't get their hands on this product. But at least update the page to say "out of stock", which is more accurate in this scenario. I initially thought that it wasn't going to come out till June ANYWHERE based on amazon's response to my email inquiry. Good thing I came across this thread. Thanks guys.

My experience in the past is Amazon aims for you to get the device the day its available to the public. My preorders in the past have arrived on the listed "available on" date. I'd try contacting Amazon directly though- it seems to mildly vary from product-to-product as to when preorders are actually received by the buyer.

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

Who knows??? I saw the July 24th date last week and now as I look at various sites it says August. Just "August", no date with it. I preordered my in April, since it was suppose to be due on in May. Then June. Then July 24th. Now "August". I don't know why Amazon seems to be actually selling them now. Does this mean they actual have ones in stock? I would call Amazon (the contact information isn't hard to find) and ask them directly IF they actually have them *in stock*! To be honest, I would be shocked if they did, because no one else does! (And don't be fooled by eBay; there are sellers there ALWAYS selling stuff months before it is released! Of course, they never mention that in their listings!)

Nope. Despite ordering from Amazon on 7/4, I haven't gotten my order from them, even though third party sellers got theirs from somewhere. Amazon doesn't even seem to know when they'll get it in stock.

UPDATE:Woo hoo! Being persistent helps. I checked Amazon everyday to see if this camera was back in stock. Last week, it was in stock for a few minutes @ $399. I hit the check-out button, and it should be arriving this week.===Same here. I pre-ordered it for the $399 price, and the free 4GB SD card promo. I got my cancellation email last week. Now I have to return the SD card, since my current camera doesn't support SDHC.It seems everyone is out of stock. I have a feeling this camera won't be widely available till after the holidays. Bummer.

I wondered if amazon wouldn't give a heads up on arrivals of a major purchase like this, seeing as they don't charge your cc until it ships, and I'd like some notice on a $900 hit on my account. Thanks for all the replies, saves me from going to B&H; twice a day until it's available.

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.

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.

Im in the same situation pre order sep 18... still waiting, the same messages as you guys. The only problem with amazon is that when you send an email to know whats going on they always answer with the generic emails of were sorry, bla bla, you can cancel anytime... I really wanted to have this cam before dec 5th... now ill have to travel for a month with out it.

I don't think its Amazon's fault for the shipping issue. I called customer care with Amazon and they explained that Nokia has been backordered with this product and they are waiting for more to arrive. My delivery date was suppose to be 6/8 thru 6/18. Most likely they will get a shipment on 6/25 like the page says. I also preordered an N97 from nokiausa.com, and that order has NOT been shipped also. I plan on rejecting my nokiausa.com order (so much for preorder), but they will not let me cancel the order. So I have to wait until it arrives to refuse the shipment for me to get my money back...very disappointed in Nokia. Btw, not to burst anyone's bubbles...there are quite a few bugs on the current firmware posted online. Nokia may be rectifying these issues before their next shipment comes out...but who knows...

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

Also waiting for my Cintiq to ship. I purchased it May 1, 2011. Does anyone have any current deliveries to speak of. Just trying to get an idea of realistic wait times for this. Some people have made reviews on the product as current as a month ago, so just looking to hear from anyone that has in fact received this item in 2011.

Hi! Have you received your camera? Are you happy with the vendor? I am having the same problem finding the IS880 and was considering this retailer, but I was nervous about the unknown.Thank you!
