No doubt the triple-disasters are continuing to have an impact at nearly every level of Japanese production. I just wish that Canon could take a cue from, say, the automotive industry, and do a better job at communicating about the inevitable delays. Fingers crossed!

"Friday, March 04, 2011 - B&H; has updated the approximate arrival dates of the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4 L USM Fisheye Lens and the Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Lens to May. The Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Lens remains listed as "New item - No arrival date known"."

I'm sure the earthquake/tsunami didn't help at all. B & H has also raised the price $180, but still no firm date. Who said "Absence makes the heart grow fonder?" HA!!

I was wondering that myself. I pre-ordered this one about a month ago (at that time it was a ridiculous $319.99) and I'm trying to be patient as I wait. I e-mailed them, noting that Vizio had them available now, and they said there is no known release date for Amazon. If anyone knows when it will be available it'd certainly help ease my anticipation

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!)

I just e-mailed Fuji to see if the delay was to add support for remote shutter capabilities (I know, wishful thinking!). Here is part of their response:"This model will still not support a remote release. On or around April 17th is when dealers should be getting their stock. We do not give exact dates because there can be unforeseen shipping delays."So, just 18 days to go...

I really would like to see the delivery date move closer, i am paying for overnight shipping to make sure I have it for a memorial weekend trip!!! come on Kodak... come on amazon!!! i really want this new gadget!Many of the sites now list the release date as May 11th... actually ship by may 11th... I hope that Amazon gets 'em out fast.

does anyone know when the release date is for Amazon? other small dinky stores are already selling it but I'd feel a lot safer if it came directly from Amazon. Thanks in advance.

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.

They will release it in mid July 2013. Stay tuned for the release date announcement.

The real problem is that the 17-55 f/2.8 lens is close to what every one wants but not quite there so people are disappointed with it. What dose every one looking at this lens really want? A real standard zoom L lens for ASP-C Bodies. Something with the same build/optical quality and features as the 24-70 f/2.8L, but with a focal length range that provides the same coverage on a ASP-C body. Something like 15mm on the wide end and like 45mm at the telephoto end. Since this lens doesn't exist people are forced the buy the next closest thing. Which is the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. Quite frankly for the build quality the 17-55 f/2.8 is way over priced and already in the same price bracket as an L lens. Which is why people expect same quality and then are dissatisfied when the build quality isn't much better then the kit lens. I don't see why canon doesn't just make an L version of the 17-55mm f/2.8 and sell it for like $1200-$1500. Especially considering the existence of the 7D, which is basically a pro-level ASP-C body. Oh wait I know, It's to force people who want/need to have L lens quality with decent wide coverage to upgrade to a full frame camera.

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... ;-)

I also ordered one last week. I asked an Amazon representation and he said that the estimated release date is the 2nd week of march 2011. I hope it's earlier than that...

I'm confused. A number of Canon D10 third party sellers on Amazon, state they have the D10 in stock and it's shipping.Why then does Amazon state "This item has not yet been released."?

I don't think there's an official release date. Some zoom kits have already shipped (including from Amazon), but the only place I've seen 17mm kits shipping is Germany. A few US retailers have gotten (and sold) some 17mm lenses, though.
