Where to find it? I want to give this camera to my goddaugther in christmas, but I can't find it for under 100$ :( Do you know where to buy it online or in Texas?

you can't find this camera anywhere. My mom bought it from amazon before thanksgiving and they said they'd ship in december. At the last minute they cancelleed our order. Nice, huh? They should have let us know they couldn't get it in a MONTH ago when I was still able to find it in the stores. Now my kids aren't going to get it at all.

How about a Canon Tx-1? I got a brand new US model on fleabay for $285. It's a fantastic point & shoot and takes 720p video. Best of all, it has beautiful Canon optics with a 10x zoom lens that is active while shooting movies.Negatives are tiny controls (what do you expect on a camera this powerful in this small form factor), tiny screen (ditto), and m-jpeg compression for the AVI files.Check it out. It's a fantastic camera.

I do not have this camera any longer, my son destroyed it (he's 2) and i replaced it with a Pentax Optio S1 which is just as good, if not better than the original. I would be honest about the camera, its best not to conceal the truth. Let her know you would like to replace the lost camera for her with something comparable.

Chances are if it IS cheaper anywhere else, it's being sold from an unreliable retailer. I had a rather frustrating experience with one such retailer in buying my Rebel XT -- they pulled a bait-and-switch on me. If you want to look for a retailer selling for less, I would advise you to read the reviews for that retailer, sorted by lowest rating first.

My apologies. If you have had it in your hands then I certainly cannot dispute that. I have done more research and found that Target says that the camera is available (in stock) at our local Targets. I will see tomorrow and report back.

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 just purchased mine 11/17/09 from CameraKing for 735.99 with free shipping. I found this vendor on Ebay. It shipped out the following day (yesterday) and I can't wait for my new toy to arrive. Edit. 11/27/09 It did not ship out at all. CamerKing lied about it being in stock and about shipping it out. Stay away from CameraKing! When I asked today, 12 days after paying for it, where my system was they told me that they don't have it and won't be getting more. They then tried to get me to buy a different product from them. I wouldn't do business with them ever again! I today bought the system from Amazon for 849.99. At least I will probably get it from them. Again, do yourself a favor and stay Clear of CamerKing. Very unethical people!

Say what? I missed that. I've called them, I've begged them, I've pleaded mercilessly to find out how to get this camera for my Apr. 24 first wedding shoot! Is this a cabbage patch kid? Next they'll be issuing lotto numbers. It's making me crazy. But I still want this camera!!!!!!!

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

Google the sellers name and reviews. I have found that all the sellers I checked that were below the average street price of about $2700 were bait and switch shops. If you didn't buy their overpriced accessories they would tell you that the camera was out of stock.

I may be a Johnny-come-lately. Just placed my 'pre-order' on Friday. I'm hoping I get it soon! I'm leaving next Tuesday for a conference in Miami, and I'm really needing this camera!

Yes I picked it up yesterday. Black only. Best Buy at Willowbrook in Houston. Went to BB site, searched for cam, and it gives list of local stores. Sunday there two store, Monday just one, but I have cam in hand. Haven't had chance to play with it yet, tonight is the night. Few quick obs, don't like that battery has to be charged in camera, so had to purchase charger, no case at all. At first glance I don't see a lot pof capability for aperture or shutter priority, but it may be in a menu screen somewhere. Will report back after trip this weekend.

I bought this Sharper Image MSG-F110 two days before Christmas at the Kohls store in Westminster md, don't know if they have it online though. It was on sale for $49.99 and then I got a percentage off.

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.
