you could order direct from olympus but its not coming anytime soon. I went throughout Tokyo and every camera store manager told me they've had backorders since the camera came out. They were equally as upset at Olympus about this as I was.

Thank you Stephen,I just tried to buy the SX210is from amazon but was told they won't ship it to Brunei where I am at the moment - wierd, they sent me a dive computer a few months back.Does any one know a camera whole saler with similar prices that ship overseas?Anyway, I think I will buy the SX210is somehow anyway, I think it sounds like a great little camera to take on holidays and snap family pics/movies.For diving I am thinking I might use and old canon A520 that I have - I'll just have to chase up the housing for it, until I get decent at it then I'll sink more money into a good dive camera.

I would go to canon.com and check out their website instead. I just make music videos basically and am no tekkie. Their facebook page ALSO accepts messages. I'd try their web site or visit their FB page. There's an upgrade I haven't done yet cuz it takes the usb cable that came w/the camera and I'm not filming until spring. Good luck, those are questions imo for Canon. (their editing software isn't good as per a call w/one of their peeps.) Everything else is great but get w/Canon imho. Happy New Year too.

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!!!!!!

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 received the Olympus version. I would venture to guess that this is the only version being manufactured at this point. It's a pretty popular piece of gear.

I asked a sales rep at Best Buy about this camera and he told me Sony was discontiuing this camera. Which to be honest is a load of hooey! Not only that but they seem to be out of almost all of their sony products. Maybe they aren't going to carry Sony anymore... Who knows? Best Buy doesn't carry it but Ciruit City does and that's just how it goes sometimes with electronics... they don't carry all the same models and brands of items. This gives the customers more of a variety of products at their disposal.

You can get one in digital camo it's a better rig than the leather black I would rather have the digital than the black. Either way it's an excellent buy I have done nothing nice to this thing it pry's beats and cuts still going strong. If amazon don't have camo then I would check a well known auction site I know they have one.

Did anyone recently managed to buy an additional camera, and how/where? (likes of UK/Middle East, otherwise amazone USA) We need the extra camera for the 2nd baby shortly. Don't care about the sound splitting issue. Please reply!

Greg...thanks for the great comments on the E510. You have confirmed my own research. Seems to pretty much be the best value in the DSLR group at this level. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Based on your comments and some others, we have ordered the E510 from Amazon. We will check out the pics you took. Great help! regards Dar

This is basically backordered everywhere. Check out all the buying options, there are still some for sale at $799, but get them quickly since they're in super high demand! I was able to get one from Camera Land here on Amazon for $799 just the other day, and I'm now waiting for it in the mail.

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.

I'm looking for a case myself. Panasonic makes an old school leather case (DMW-CGB1 for the body and DMW-CGL1 for the part that wraps around the lens), which is kind of nice. JapanExposures sells a handmade version, but it just covers the body, not the lens. I've also looked at that custom leatherette textured covering, which might add a little protection. But I'm not super jeeped about any of those. Still looking...

Were you able to find the wrist strap connector? I just bought my D10 as a lightning deal on Amazon. A week later I took it to Hawaii and my boyfriend dropped it on the floor from his hand, the connector broke! I need to find a replacement too. If you know where to buy one, other than ebay, let me know. Thanks!

I replaced my Canon 60d and smaller Sony A55 with an Olympus E-P3. I've owned several intro/mid-level dSLRs, and I would say the E-P3 was my favorite camera of all time. My pictures were amazing, it was fast, and best of all was that it was truly portable - perfect for my hiking trips. Were you mainly using the camera in auto mode? I always used it in manual, so can't really tell you how good or bad the camera did in 'A' mode - but in manual mode it was nearly perfect. The lenses you use may also play a role. My favorite lens of all time had been (maybe still is) the Canon 24-70mm lens, and I thought I would never find something that worked just as well, but I came across the Panasonic 14-140mm lens, which is super amazing, and became my favorite and main lens for the E-P3. The lack of viewfinder was never an issue for me, since I used the VF-2 view finder by Olympus. Sure, I was never happy using the E-P3 without the viewfinder, so I kept it on most of the time. I did sell the E-P3 on Ebay soon after the OM-D was announced. I figured that if the E-P3 had become my favorite camera of all time, getting the OM-D would be a no brainer since the specs are better than the E-P3 and it included a built in viewfinder. I have used an NEX-5 (first gen) in the past, and I must say I hated that camera due to how hard it made to shoot in 'M' mode; however, Sony released the NEX-7, a nearly perfect camera targeted towards potential dSLR owners. Deciding between the NEX-7 and the OM-D is a challenge, and they each have their pluses and negatives; however, those looking to replace a dSLR for some trips, shouldn't consider anything other than the OM-D(m4/3) or NEX-7(e-mount) for the time being; although, I bet Panasonic has something in the works to compete with Sony and Olympus.

I found this http://www.e-fotografija.si/templates/?a=1044&z;=94 today that shows pics of 2 new sony cybershot cameras. T70 and T200. If I read correctly they both will have touch screens for most adjustments. I can't wait til it comes out.
