Hey, I don't know where you live, but I just bought mine in black on 9/10 here in NYC. By the way, I've been waiting for Amazon to have this camera too. I pre-ordered both of them (black and silver), and never received an email saying that they were finally available to purchase. So, I took things into my own hands and found it myself. The camera is the BEST camera I've ever tried! I recently bought the fx500 from panasonic and the fujifilm f100. And before those two, I was a canon powershot sd500 owner. I can go into more detail, but I thought you would like to know of something I wrote on the forum page for the LX3 on photographyblog.com: Hey y'all, Sorry it has taken me a long while to respond to this little discussion, but just yesterday 9/10/08, I FINALLY bought the LX3 in black here in NYC at a family run Jewish store called 17thstreetphoto in the Photography district in NYC. I spoke with a super friendly man named Doug who told me that they got the silver and black ones 2 days ago from yesterday. they have 50 each. So, I went down there and immediately bought one. They have a 7 days no questions asked return policy so I'm trying it out like a crazy man. I attached the website. Keep in mind that if you mention the fact that on EBAY they have the price listed at $475, they will honor it in the store even though they have it priced at $499. Any questions ask me. But the purchasing experience with them was excellent.

Same here - preordered on March 9th, and been sitting idle since. I have a media cabinet sitting with an empty shelf for this AVR. I hope it's next week.

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 would also like to know the release date as they estimated the 8th of March, which is now 2 days behind us. If it is soon enough I am also going to purchase, but not gonna wait weeks on end for it. Thanks!

I contacted customer support, they believe that it will become available but not sure when. If you buy not you will get the sale price, I purchased it at $188.04 it has gone up in price, they will charge the money when it is shipped. I did get an estimate at first of it being available in August but the next representative could not confirm that time frame. I am moving August 15th and i am hoping this will be a great addition to my new place with out having to wait months for it.

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

Been using a N52 for years, but it's on its last legs. Still not released. I've been looking forward to this for a while, but was hoping it'd be out by X-mas. :(

I actually just ordered it on Overstock.com as they said they had just 2 in stock...about an hour later, they were apologizing for an inventory error and that it wasn't available. I knew it was too good to be true but had to try anyway. I wish I knew what the big delay is with this thing, it's kind of annoying.

I was wondering that myself. I pre-ordered this one about a month ago (at that time it was a ridiculous $319.99) and I'm trying to be patient as I wait. I e-mailed them, noting that Vizio had them available now, and they said there is no known release date for Amazon. If anyone knows when it will be available it'd certainly help ease my anticipation

I have had one back ordered since Feb 2015. They were expected to be available in late March. Suppliers are hoping to fill orders in mid to late April. We'll see. I can't wait to get mine!
