Availability Does anyone know when this product will be released on Amazon? I know it's already available on the Kodak website. Thanks.

I don't know! I've been checking every day since the 6th. Who would we contact to find out the estimated date of release?

I have no idea. I pre-ordered as well, and am going to Hawaii on April 30, so I want to make sure I have it by then. If it's not out soon, I will have to get it from the Kodak website - also $79, but plus shipping and not Amazon Prime.

It looks like it is available elsewhere. Why is there a hold up on Amazon? I ordered mine back in January and would really like it soon, or at least an explanation from Amazon.

For what it matters, I spoke to a CSR at Canon on Tuesday, and the camera is due to ship on 9/28. The first stores to get it will be Adorama, BH Photo, Calumet and Amazon. How long it takes to get to the DC for each retailer depends on their distance from Canon's DC. If it actually ships on 9/28, I would imagine that shipments from each retailer should be around 10/5.The extra 5% off helps, and I got back in on this since Amazon does not charge shipping.Good Luck, I hope this camera lives up to its promise.

Also waiting for my Cintiq to ship. I purchased it May 1, 2011. Does anyone have any current deliveries to speak of. Just trying to get an idea of realistic wait times for this. Some people have made reviews on the product as current as a month ago, so just looking to hear from anyone that has in fact received this item in 2011.

I would like to know when the camera will be released and if I pre-order it, what happens if other web-sites sell it sell for less money. Here's another angle; What if I pre-order it now on here for $499 that is the current price and then the price drops at release time? I would dearly like to try this camera out to see if it is as good as they say it is. I have a Kodak Z980 which has a great 24x zoom but the 30x plus the other neat features will be very tempting if they are for real. The low light capabilities alone are interesting. (My Kodak Z980 is not too bad at low light but I will take any improvement I can get!)Does anyone have any idea when it will be released?

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.

Contour closed their HQ and stopped production in August. The future of the company is up in the air right now as Clarke Capital Partners just bought it and the plans to begin selling the cameras again is up in the air. My thought is that Amazon is trying to reduce their inventory. I would buy now, as if they re-open it will raise the price of this amazing Sports POV camera back to the retail $350.

When you call customer service to order one at Sony, they aren't honest about what is going on. They try saying it is "just such a popular best selling item that it has already sold out" which makes no sense because it's not available online yet even and there are no existing reviews out there from apparently all these people who possess the camera already. So I held off on ordering right now and I'd prefer to order it through Amazon anyway.

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.

Ye, i saw on some sites that they will start shipping 08/31 and 09/01. I just received an e-mail from Amazon regarding this question and their answer was "I've checked the availability for "Canon PowerShot SX20IS" and see it hasn't been released yet and the expected release date is not known. We rely on the manufacturer for release date information. We'll make sure to update our website listing when we know more."I'm hoping they'll have it by 01/09. The other seller on amazon (OneCall) says it's in stock.. but not sure how!

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.

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.

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.

Amazon moves prices often. Just a luck of the draw thing. It sucks that amazon got rid of its 30 day pricematch guarantee. Your only chance is that the camera is out of stock for a couple of weeks. Amazon will give you the price difference if the item hasnt shipped, so I would order it and then you would have about 4 weeks for it to drop again(just have to check daily) and let amazon know.

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

I'm sorry that I do not know the answer to your question. You may be able to go to the Kodak website and ask that question.

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.
