When? I want to get a HD camcorder before my girl's 1st birthday on March 11th. I'd like to get this one, but "Spring" is pretty vague. Anybody know a more precise release date?

It used to say February on the Canon website until they changed it to "Spring." I too am waiting on this camera. Hopefully it will be released at the end of Feb., but if I were you once March rolls around (and REALLLY REALLY need HD video of the event), I'd go ahead and get the HF100 so you can capture your girl's birthday. The cheapest I found it on the net is $375 from Digital Future.Very tempted to get the HF100, but I'm trying real hard to hold out for the HF S100.

For whatever it's worth, if you own any reasonably recent Canon product, you can register it online at the Canon website and get a 15% off priority code valid on the Canon online store. So, with some work you should be able to get 15% off the price of the HF S100. Canon's a reputable company :-) and I think Amazon's asleep at the switch here.Check out: https://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=OnlineRegIndex1Act&source;=04

Do not buy from digital future. There are a lot of websites out there that will bait and switch you or the purchase price only includes a non US model. $1099 seems like the reasonable stated price. Stick with reputable stores such as Amazon or B

Seems the Kodak site has changed, it now says "Available in May", so the May 15 release date is looking likely. Too late for me, I guess I'll have to look for a different option. :-(

Me too. Don't know what happened to the date. Sandisk webite used to say "4 - 6 weeks"; now it changed to "preorder now"

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... ?

It might be delayed due to the tsunami and the earthquake in Japan I think. I do hope it comes out on 5-1-11 because I would like to purchase for a trip to Tennessee on 5-14-11. It looks to me like the best camera out now that Sony allows you to use SDHC cards in their cameras. I didn't buy the hx-1 for that reason that the hx-1 only used memory sticks.

I also am stalking the X1, but Leica has made it pretty clear that it should be shipping in January 2010. Happy hunting!

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.

@Hugh - by the time I get to evaluating and posting, many reviews will be posted. I'm leaving in a week for a multi-month hike 3 days after the camera is due to arrive.Interestingly, the Sony website now says they're taking pre-orders and it will ship 3/17. I've got my e-mail saying it will ship 3/12 so I'll see by the end of today what happened.

Latest info on Fuji site says April. Just a couple weeks ago it said March. So guess they are still working on it.

Was just on Sony's website and it shows you can purchase the HX100 again with the ship date of May 16th. Do you think Amazon will be getting it then also or should I just get it through Sony? I have had it on order here since April 13th.

Your wait is over. This camcorder is now being sold on Amazon. See my review--and happy filming!

The changed plants from what I can gather, which put a kink in getting out x1, m9 and s2's. Some European people are getting orders (trickling) - I'd guess amazon will be able to begin shipping at the end of feb beginning of march. I called Leica USA and they said 6 weeks - that was about a week ago. They also suggested there would be no benefit in canceling with amazon and buying from a local shop. "Amazon are as likely to get them as anyone else" which begs the question though - how many preorders does amazon have on this thing?

I am wondering the same thing..... I was considering buying it until i noticed that. I mean, really, is this correct or was it meant to be days instead of months? I would love to have that clarified. Going on a vacation in a month but want to get the camera within the next week or so.

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 hope its not to late, post was May 13th, and its the end of June. When the HX5V first came out it was $350, I pre-order mine through sonystyle, I got a discount though. I've never had any problems with my camera and I've had it since March 2010. I don't blow any pictures up, I just take them and put them on my computer, then a back up hard drive, I've never had any poor quality pictures. I can't upload photo's here, but if you want to see, I can send a few.

I had a similar dilemma. I just had a baby in December and wanted a camcorder for home videos. After hours of research I decided the Sony DCR-SR300 was the best HDD camcorder out there and bought it... so far so good! It also takes great pictures, although with each video you're limited in the number of pictures you can take (don't know if it's the same issue with the JVC Everio).

Hey, I called Amazon and spoke with the department that handles product stocking. They told me they will not be receiving it until April. Does this make sense? I'm seeing posts here claiming to be receiving March.
