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.

No review because... it's not released yet! :) Can't review what's not there.But I do agree with you, this camera does seem to have everything that a semi-professional or budget-professional could want in an SLR digital camera. It's just a shame that I have to wait until October, because I have a wedding to shot in September and my old digital SLR isn't working properly (have had it for several years).Just one negative to this sweet baby... according to the pictures, I do not see a hotshoe. :(

I am still waiting for the EX485. I am not in a hurry but I sure hope they will ship it soon. Amazon doesn't normally lag behind the market and I have had only good experiences with Amazon to date. I wish I knew what the holdup is.

I would go to Ebay to look at a picture. Even if you look at the new EOS-1D X, the basic look is the same excepting the buttons and re-alignment of dials and buttons. But, the basic body is still very much the same. Better yet, B&H; still has a pic of it because the have one for sale for $649 @ 8+. It was a great camera at the time, but a 5D or later version is a better camera with a full frame sensor which the Mark II N did not have.Yes, I bought mine new from Amazon, at the time.

It will become available on or about 3/22...Given the fact that most ultrazooms tend to get shaky at far range of the zoom even with the image stablization built in to reduce it. I would have to read reviews before plunking down $429. I have owned ultrazooms put out by Panasonic Lumix and Olympus and they all have that problem. If this problem has been resolved and a tripod to steady the image is no longer necessary, I would consider buying it and adding it to my collection. Read the reviews first!

I called my local camera dealer with this question and he said that it will be released November 25th. Unfortunately his first shipment is sold out.

I purchased this camera New directly from Amazon and received it 2 weeks ago. So far everything seems fine. But I would like to know exactly what Amazon is "reviewing" so I can feel comfortable with my purchase and not worry about some malfunction or failure popping up in the near future. I am sure many others are in the same situation and would like a further explanation from Amazon. Please Amazon, what gives?

I agree, I am having the same problem. I don't want to invest any more money in the Logitech brand of security cameras if they are phasing out support for them. I placed an order for the Add-On 3 months ago and it's still out of stock. No one can give me an answer when they will be back in stock.

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.

We all realize this item is backordered now... My issue is that it seems like amazon didn't receive ANY 5DmkII bodies.I also have a pre-order (Sept. 18) and have heard nothing, if they could just let me know that they didn't have enough to get to me in the first batch and they are waiting for more cameras that'd be great. I just want some kind of confirmation.

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!

I ordered the silver version with a "1-2 month wait" on 11/3 and it's scheduled to arrive today. Original estimated delivery was as late as Jan 5. It was $399.99 and I would have liked the black, but couldn't justify the price difference. I love how, for example, canon G9s are selling for way over retail and G10s are bouncing around $460. So order the silver LX3k from amazon, as they seem to have just gotten some in.

It's funny you mention the lense. I have put it my pocket and now it wont close. It is a real pain. I thank you for your honesty. It probably was a rep I was talking to. I wish I could have tried the casio beforexmaking my purchase. But I didn't have the time to wait for it to get here by mail. Perhaps my next camera purchase will be the casio. Thought the canon seems to be working well for now. As long as I make sure the lense cover is completely open. Thanks again.

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.

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... ;-)
