I'm getting a 16 GB sandisk extreme 3 sdhc card very soon. Like by this weekend and I will try it out.

I just got notification from amazon that mine has shipped, even though they're still only available for pre-sale.

Although amazon.com still shows this camera as on "pre-order", they shipped mine last week and I received it today - wow - what a beautiful camera! Have not had a chance to put it through the paces yet, but I am impressed so far...

If you honestly want this camera ASAP, follow my directions above. You will get the camera. Again, I've had it since 9/10 and I LOVE IT!!!! BEST CAMERA I'VE EVER USED! Just ask and let me know if you have questions.

O.k so I got the 16gb sandisk extreme 3 sdhc card and with nothing on it it says on the LCD: "R10m30s". So, 10 minutes and 30 seconds. Hope this helps.

Hey how is the noise level in low light for video and pictures? Also can you tell me if there's a shutter lag?

I've seen "late August" mentioned several places: http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Cameras-Camcorders/Digital-Cameras/Lumix-Digital-Cameras/model.DMC-LX3K_11002_7000000000000005702A specific date certainly would be nice to know in any case.

It doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere in the US yet. I think that they may have jumped the gun a bit on their release date. I know that in the past it's taken a bit of time to get their holders in the US.

Lucky you, I tried endlessly yo put my order this weekend, but couldn't! Now it's again on pre-order status... not in-stock! I really really hope my MBA (which I already placed as pre-order) will arrive on time... waiting anxiously!

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.

I've had it in sitting in my cart for a couple of weeks waiting to order it & it still says:"Not in stock; order now and we'll deliver when available". Does ANYONE have ANY idea when it will be in stock?

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

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.

According to the facebook page (www.facebook.com/Tamashii.USA) it has been released in Japan but not in the US yet, looks like we don't get it until end of the month at the earliest. :( so Amazon had to adjust the date to reflect that.

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.

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 astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.

I don't think they had any idea it would be quite this popular, particularly as a pre-order. Hoping to get mine, too, before Christmas. But, if it's delayed further, it's delayed further - that certainly won't make me not buy it. I understand how anxious people are to get their hands on one of these - I feel the same way - patience is a virtue. (yeah, yeah, I still want it here now, too ;-)

No idea. I'm waiting for it too. Amazon had a price up for a while, but they just took it down.

I pre ordered the 8 GB in violet. Any idea when it will be available? The other colors are, but of course the color I like isn't! :P

Apparently is available again. I just noticed it myself. Today's date is February 5th, 2014.

Nice. I have been waiting to see if I can get it before I go on my trip, and just emailed amazon today. They told me they had no idea when it would be "released" through them. Sounds like you got lucky, I should have just pre-ordered then too...

It's now pushed to June 5th. I also cancelled my pre-order. Got an Acer C720 instead. This long delay is losing customers for Samsung.
