They canceled me! I'm so disappointed! I thought I got a great deal when I ordered this camera (black LX3K) for $399.99 from Amazon. I was willing to wait the "1 to 2 months" for such a great camera at an awesome price. Today they canceled my order! They said they couldn't acquire any. So what happens if they find some later? I'm just feeling really let down right now... But now I see the silver version (LX3S) is still taking orders for $405, also with the "1 to 2 months" wait time.

I'm not sure why you didn't just order it from JR.com through amazon marketplace - I ordered just a few days ago and mine will be here tomorrow. (it's silver of course - black is at least 100 more and sold out too) -- anyway, I paid 399, free shipping...

I ordered the silver version with a "1-2 month wait" on 11/3 and it's scheduled to arrive today. Original estimated delivery was as late as Jan 5. It was $399.99 and I would have liked the black, but couldn't justify the price difference. I love how, for example, canon G9s are selling for way over retail and G10s are bouncing around $460. So order the silver LX3k from amazon, as they seem to have just gotten some in.

Actually, as of now, Jr.com has the black version for 399.99, free shipping. They were out of stock and I ordered on 11/7/08, now today they just emailed me that the camera is shipping! I can't wait! Great deal and great price.

www.cameraaddict.com is advertising the silver one for $328 and the black one for $381, with free shipping, for anyone that is interested. I do not not have experience ordering from them but these are the cheapest prices I can find.

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.

You got hooked up for sure!! The silver isn't bad, but I definitely would have preferred the black...oh well! Good for you though! I hope you enjoy the camera as much as I have been.

Try jr.com, they also sell the Black version for $399.99 although they are also out of stock....I placed an order with them a few days ago, hopefully they won't cancel.The current price of $649.99 is just ridiculous. Geez I hate merchants who take advantage of a situation like this.

6th ave is all sold out, I ordered it from amazon for $499.00 but the whole 1-2 months thing is starting to piss me off. I will most likely upgrade to the next model up and purchase it from another seller besides amazon. Got the link from my son that said ships within 24-48 hours, but with the holidays and all I didn't order until four days later, Oh well I know it my fault but still rather irritating.

I too have been waiting over a month with no end in sight. I have missed most of the summer and am getting very annoyed with Amazon's system. I am now wordering if Nikon is coming out with a new model (D60) as they are doing with the D80? Since the summer is almost gone I will wait a little longer for the camera but will think very hard about purchasing expensive items from them in the future without a firm shipping date.

I believe the issue is that Amazon sold out of them (this seems to be a very popular camera), and the third party sellers are charging a higher price due to the demand. It's not anything Amazon's done, $999 isn't their price.

There's NO WAY a Sony HDR-XR200V could be sold for $135. If that's what it said, then it was an operator mistake, pure and simple, and I would've cancelled the order as well. Mistakes do happen (both Walmart and Staples released typos on online ads this past Christmas, and informed their customers, who were ordering the incredibly-priced electronics, that refunds would be given, and the items could not be purchased at those prices. Sorry if you don't agree... but nobody's perfect. You won't get a $600 discount on this camera... sorry. (BTW - I just bought this camera at B&H for around $598... it's currently $649.. STILL cheaper than Amazon. go there instead..)

Ordered D800Ethe first day on the morning of Feb 7th, still no word on when it will arrive. Can't really fault Amazon for having trouble with Nikon's supply chain, but it does seem irresposible to keep taking orders (you can still backorder it as of today) when you can't tell folks who ordered it 4 MONTHS AGO when to expect it.

Checked local Wal-mart and it was not there. Contacted Target and they say they have it in the store but it is not on the floor yet. They have put one on hold for me to pick up today at 6pm. So, we will see if this really happens or not.~edit: 1PM - Just spoke to the Target and confirmed that they have found the camera in the incoming stock and have set it aside for me. I have no idea why Amazon does not have it. I will have to pay tax and drive a good distance but I prefer this one over the Cannon SD4500IS.

Ok we are almost in march and nothing about shipping dates! I read that the dealay was due to a firmware fix to solve auto-focus issues (Too slow!). I was thinking in buy a Nikon d5000 with the wide-angle DX format 35mm f1.8 and save a $1000.00 dollars. I think with this solution I can have the same image quality in a much bigger, but cheapper, gear. And is in Stock! Not a good representation for Leica. I am changing my mind about this brand.

I would like to know when the camera will be released and if I pre-order it, what happens if other web-sites sell it sell for less money. Here's another angle; What if I pre-order it now on here for $499 that is the current price and then the price drops at release time? I would dearly like to try this camera out to see if it is as good as they say it is. I have a Kodak Z980 which has a great 24x zoom but the 30x plus the other neat features will be very tempting if they are for real. The low light capabilities alone are interesting. (My Kodak Z980 is not too bad at low light but I will take any improvement I can get!)Does anyone have any idea when it will be released?

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.

It's listed for 10,399 currently on Amazon, same price as elsewhere (and for $10,499 on the Canon site). Why would you assume they are lying? Perhaps this was the initial list price and it was an oversight that it didn't get changed. Why would this make you not buy through Amazon? I don't get it.

I even signed up for the Amazon store card so that I could get the not finance charge for 18 months. If I do get the set from Frys.com or Abes then I going to have to deal with the hassle of closing out the Amazon card too.I have bought a few cameras from Abes of maine. They did fine by me in the past. I'll have to check it out.Its funny they keep raising the price of the 46 and lowering the price of the 52inch. The 52 inch only by a $1 at a time though.Maybe they want to sell more 52s?

Thanks - i did end up also e-mailing Canon and they said they are having a backorder issue. I am hoping it gets resolved soon. i did see last week when they were available and I am kicking myself for not grabbing it then.

This is really depressing. I saw someone in Malaysia sharing a picture of his *silver* OM-D!! If I had known it would take *forever* for Amazon to fulfill our pre-orders, I would not have sold off my E-P3 that quickly. I ended up buying an E-PM1 this week to tide me over while I wait for the OM-D. The Amazon Store card 12 months interest free financing is too good to give up my place in the pre-order queue. I'll wait. :-(

Thanks so much for the response. After much research, I know I want this camera. What a great deal, I'll order mine tonight!

I am going to buy this camera as well... but i'll wait one or two months to get some discount. I don't think they are going to be able to sustain a $400 price for more than one month...
