I switched my order to ANT and expect to receive the camera by April 2nd at the latest.

I ordered mine two months ago on Amazon - you guys are making me want to switch my order as well. I just keep thinking, Amazon MUST be getting them soon, right????????

Thanks for the response. Have you tried recording a movie in low light?What type of Cannon are you a fan of? I'm looking for something to take good action pics at gymnastics meets and to record some movies of routines as well.

Enjoy the show. I hope your camera arrives in time. I'm tracking mine and found it was shipped this morning via UPS. Now that it is on the way I am so glad I decided not to wait any longer for Amazon to get in stock!

I have been through the Powershot SD500 and the G7. My sister has the G9 and we have not have issues with those cameras. Yes, my old SD500 still has issues with low light and I have worked around that having it for this long. It was just time for me to try out Casio and see how the new FC100 did. No, I have not tried video yet but I hope to get a chance in next day or two to let you know. being in a gym shouldn't be a problem as they "usually" have good light but don't take my word.

No, this is a home show in Takoma Park, MD. They shipped it USPS. Which is curious, because I thought I read they ship FedEx. Either way. I ordered Monday and they shipped Tuesday. I hope to receive it or the could not deliver slip by tomorrow at the latest. (They are located in NJ) And if it requires a signature, I will just have to pick it up from the post office on Friday.

It has been but not on Amazon itself as of yet. I have used the camera and have bought it from ANTOnline through Amazon. (too bad I could not use Amazon Prime pricing on shipping). I have used the camera and am still reviewing it as I had it at a wedding this weekend. One reminder is not to use high speed shooting in low light. You won't be able to see too much. Overall it is decent as long as there is enough light but I have had less than a week so I still am a Canon fan.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, Butterfyly looks the best price at the moment, but I think they required someone to be home to sign for the delivery so that is a major drawback for me. Are you taking pics of a State Meet by any chance on the 5th? That is what I am hoping to get my camera in time for! :)

They have light in gyms but it's not good light. The lights they use often cause a strange tint. UNLESS you have a camera that does manual white balance like this one does. Hopefully that feature will make everything okay.I switched my order from amazon directly to butterflyphoto through amazon. Delivery estimate is before the 1st. I am hoping to video a gymnastics performance on the 5th. Here's hoping the HD performs well.

Good question. I would like to know why it is still available. My understand is, it's out of production. Are these knock offs?... I have read all of the reviews about this model, the Black colored camera. I also would like to understand the difference between the Black USA model versus the Sliver Japanese model, there is only 2 reviews on the Silver colored camera. Can anyone give some input?

I've been trying to find out too but there is no word out there from Pentax or other sources. The Pentax website has an option from their online store to email you when the camera becomes available but so far no feedback yet... I'm figuring it'll start shipping in November for the black and white units. The red and blue units are scheduled for a later release date.

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...

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... ;-)

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!!!

hey Lisa. I just pre-ordered this camera, as the specs are too awesome to resist, and Amazon's return policy is stellar, so no worries. Then I found an actual user review of the camera, believe it or not, which says to me that it should be out soon. Here's the link, and drool to your heart's content: http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/showcase/review/finepix-hs20exr/hands-on-a-fuji-hs20Notice no purple fringing anywhere to be found, at least as far as I could tell, which is a VERY impressive feat for a camera with this kind of zoom. Also, the High Dynamic Range option seems stellar, as well as the Pro Focus Mode. Check out the review. It made me feel very good about my early purchase.

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues.Would upgrade from mkII.Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP.But alas, I'll refrain.

I love how this always works out for me. I wanted this camera for my cruise on the 18th, but went ahead and got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Red) last week because I didn't think the Nikon would be here in time. Now that it's here, what should I do? I like the GPS on the Panasonic, but it takes HORRIBLE low light pics. Any help would be appreciated!

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?

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.

I may be a Johnny-come-lately. Just placed my 'pre-order' on Friday. I'm hoping I get it soon! I'm leaving next Tuesday for a conference in Miami, and I'm really needing this camera!

I too have wanted to buy a T2i for a while, ever since I noticed the announcement in February. Then, it was seemingly always out of stock at Amazon. Perhaps I haven't waited long enough, or maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Although I have bought 5 Canon cameras over the years, and I considered myself a Canon loyalist, I am beginning to wonder if maybe I should buy a Nikon as my first digital SLR.

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?

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.

Sorry. I have never used Casio Exilim for this procedure. I am very happy with my different pics that I take and get compliments on photos but have never tried video. Perhaps, someone else has tried this? The best to you. Robert in Tampa, FL
