Yeah..I would wait for Amazon. I kind of had a feeling they didn't have it. When I asked them how they got it before Amazon, they did not have an answer. I feel better ordering from Amazon anyhow.

I was thinking of ordering from them and cancelling my amazon order. Glad I didn't. Thanks for the post. I guess they're trying to get the jump on orders over amazon.

I was hoping it would be out in mid March because I was going on vacation overseas, but I'm worried it could be vaporware

Ordered it on saturday. Thought it was going to ship out today (monday). Called them, and they told me it was not in stock, and they were getting them in on Wednesday. I canceled the order. I will wait for Amazon to get them in.

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.

This camera with the 20mm pancake lens is out of stock EVERYWHERE as far as I can tell. Panasonic's own web site lists it that way, as do every online store I've checked.... except, as you note, for the ones who are taking advantage of the temporary scarcity to charge hundreds of dollars more. I understand it's supply and demand, but I still think it's slimy, and I refuse to deal with those companies. Panasonic pretty clearly underestimated the demand for this model. I think everyone who reacted to the Olympus E-P1 with "Oh, cool idea, pity the auto-focus sucks so badly and they used such a low-res LCD display" wants a GF1 now. Best of luck on getting your camera before Christmas, but my guess is it's a long shot.

Bite the bullet and just get it if you can find one for sale right now. I pre-ordered mine on Feb 8, and still no ship date from Amazon. :-( From experience, the price of a particular camera model will remain the same until the next new model becomes available.

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 saw a release date of 28th Feb for the UK, but I'm sure I saw 11th Feb somewhere on Amazon.com yesterday (although I can't see that anywhere now). UPDATE: a quick search on the web shows "March sometime" as being the current info. I think Amazon.com made a typo somewhere, hence I can't find it again.

Anyone with any new information on when it's going to be available? Canon site removed the "Available in August 2009" and inserted a new link of "find a retail store". but no online store has it yet.Also on the sx20IS canon page, there's already a review, so, someone already have-it.

Yes when? I waiting for this 28 days and nothing. So what next?. I check B&H and they have in stock but with 55-200mm lens kit so I think we have to wait.

Hi, thanks for your question. I'd suggest adding this item to your shopping cart to see the estimated delivery date. If you're not happy with when the camera kit will arrive, you don't have to proceed to check out. You can find more information about when items ship on the following link:

I would just love some sort of estimated date. Just be up front with us, even if it is a month off. I ordered the black 12-50mm kit. The sad part is, I see so many people getting them from local dealers. The ONLY reason I ordered from Amazon is because I had a really good gift card balance. If I could cash out my amazon gift card balance and go to a local dealer I sure as heck would in a heart beat~

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 really want this camera- the manual controls using the touchscreen look great. Has anyone ordered from Amazon and gotten it already? It says it'll ship in "1-2 months," but if it's already out... ?

I am having the SAME problem ... I did all this research and determined that the 880IS was the camera for me. And I saw a number of posts indicating that people were paying around two fifty for it. And now ... I cannot find it ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know if it is discontinued or replaced by a newer model?

How long do we have to wait for it? It's a delivery timing issue for me. If I knew I'd have it before April 30, I'd probably pre-order it.

Why is there such a delay with the release date of this camera? Normally Amazon is good with having products in stock, when I read that other stores were carrying this item and Amazon still didn't have it sorta makes me wonder whats going on!!!

I would also like to know the release date as they estimated the 8th of March, which is now 2 days behind us. If it is soon enough I am also going to purchase, but not gonna wait weeks on end for it. Thanks!
