Release Date? Does anyone know when this camera will be sold on Amazon?

I just got the "items shipping soon" notice on my S90 purchase. I'd pre-ordered on September 25th, so Amazon seems to be prioritizing based on pre-order order (sorry for the double word use!) -- at least based on the comments above mine.Good thing, too; I was just about to head over to a few Best Buy stores in my area, and, based on any supposed success, cancel the Amazon pre-order. It all worked out in the end for me -- it's all good. :-)UPDATE: My order has just shipped, due to arrive on October 14th. Awesome!

The Canon site says "Available in September 2009".http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid;=144&mode;lid=19210#ModelDetailAct

It's not bull****. BB website says pre-order but I called my local store in CA and several arrived there this morning so I went and bought one! Thanks for posting that they are in at BB, Todd!

I sent an email to Canon asking about the release date, and on 9/24/09 they responded that they did not know for sure but that they expected the cameras to ship within "the next week or so."

Well, that's it for me. Just got another notice that the shipment date has been pushed back to 4 Sep 06. Thanks for the tip about Adorama. I'm going to check out their seller rating/prices. I'm really irritated with Amazon right now since I ordered this camera from them (not a vendor) at a good sale price. About $750 for the camera body with both lenses. Of course, that doesn't mean much if they don't ship the camera. The aggravation of waiting over two months isn't worth it. And of course, the page still states that Amazon ships in 1-2 weeks.

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

This camera is now obsolete, so if you want to buy it, check Ebay. I sold mine last year. Sorry.

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.

I've been reading that the mom&pop; camera shops have them in stock. This is BS that Amazon is claiming that these lenses have not been released yet.

No review because... it's not released yet! :) Can't review what's not there.But I do agree with you, this camera does seem to have everything that a semi-professional or budget-professional could want in an SLR digital camera. It's just a shame that I have to wait until October, because I have a wedding to shot in September and my old digital SLR isn't working properly (have had it for several years).Just one negative to this sweet baby... according to the pictures, I do not see a hotshoe. :(

We are well into March now and still no Camera... Amazon is now estimating sometime in the first three weeks of April. I can wait, but I hope its sooner... ;-)

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.

The Fuji Film on-line store has changed the availability date of this camera to "April". It previously said it will be available on March 24. Now they have until April 30th to ship it out. I am sure a lot of people will be disappointed with this news!http://www.shopfujifilm.com/detail/FUJ+16018645Folks.... I think we are in for a long wait!!!!!!

Hey, I don't know where you live, but I just bought mine in black on 9/10 here in NYC. By the way, I've been waiting for Amazon to have this camera too. I pre-ordered both of them (black and silver), and never received an email saying that they were finally available to purchase. So, I took things into my own hands and found it myself. The camera is the BEST camera I've ever tried! I recently bought the fx500 from panasonic and the fujifilm f100. And before those two, I was a canon powershot sd500 owner. I can go into more detail, but I thought you would like to know of something I wrote on the forum page for the LX3 on photographyblog.com: Hey y'all, Sorry it has taken me a long while to respond to this little discussion, but just yesterday 9/10/08, I FINALLY bought the LX3 in black here in NYC at a family run Jewish store called 17thstreetphoto in the Photography district in NYC. I spoke with a super friendly man named Doug who told me that they got the silver and black ones 2 days ago from yesterday. they have 50 each. So, I went down there and immediately bought one. They have a 7 days no questions asked return policy so I'm trying it out like a crazy man. I attached the website. Keep in mind that if you mention the fact that on EBAY they have the price listed at $475, they will honor it in the store even though they have it priced at $499. Any questions ask me. But the purchasing experience with them was excellent.

Ditto only I saw it on DealNews.I'm impressed with the camcorder but not with Amazon's BS.Thanks for making a statement that I can follow up on.

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.

On QVC, it is now on clearance for 349.99--while Amazon still says not yet released. I'm thinking of getting it from QVC--especially since they have reduced it $50.

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.

There are unboxing photos and video all over the Intertubes. I'm wondering when Amazon will finally get them as well.
