Zx1 Release date Kodak is saying that the Zx1 will be released in April-does anyone know why Amazon says if you preorder it will be sent on May 15? !

BUMP. Same question. I've been waiting awhile to get even a tiny camcorder b/c I figure wait as long as you can, then buy what's current. Some stuff I'll want to do, not sure if I can wait any longer than mid April. Anyone from Amazon please comment...

I'll BUMP it too. Was hoping to grab one off Amazon this month - May is too late for me due to my travel plans. Please let us know if May 15 is the real date or not!

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. :-(

So r u saying it's safe to order now, and we all could receive it sometime in April?This CAM looks so awesome! How does everyone else feel about it? Any comments??

This is what Kodak told me: "Retail availability [is] second half of April for the Kodak Zx1"This is what Amazon sent me: "Once this item has been released and we receive copies, we will be able to ship it to you. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay of several weeks between the release and distribution of a new publication." (it looks like a standard answer they use for books and other items)

looks like this will be the special value for 4/19 on qvc, from what they are saying early it seems like the price may be a little cheaper than here but you have shipping and tax so will probably end up costing more.

looks like this bad boy is already in consumers hands overseas. I pre-ordered mine... I really would like to see the delivery date move closer, i am paying for overnight shipping to make sure I have it for a memorial weekend trip!!! come on Kodak... come on amazon!!! i really want this new gadget!Many of the sites now list the release date as May 11th... actually ship by may 11th... I hope that Amazon gets 'em out fast.

UPDATE:Woo hoo! Being persistent helps. I checked Amazon everyday to see if this camera was back in stock. Last week, it was in stock for a few minutes @ $399. I hit the check-out button, and it should be arriving this week.===Same here. I pre-ordered it for the $399 price, and the free 4GB SD card promo. I got my cancellation email last week. Now I have to return the SD card, since my current camera doesn't support SDHC.It seems everyone is out of stock. I have a feeling this camera won't be widely available till after the holidays. Bummer.

you could order direct from olympus but its not coming anytime soon. I went throughout Tokyo and every camera store manager told me they've had backorders since the camera came out. They were equally as upset at Olympus about this as I was.

I dont't understand the logic here. This product is being advertised all over the web that it would be released on the 22nd. I sent my order through Amazon today but I wonder now if I should have waited more or go somewhere else.

I too have been waiting over a month with no end in sight. I have missed most of the summer and am getting very annoyed with Amazon's system. I am now wordering if Nikon is coming out with a new model (D60) as they are doing with the D80? Since the summer is almost gone I will wait a little longer for the camera but will think very hard about purchasing expensive items from them in the future without a firm shipping date.

Following my initial post I found a comment from Kodak explaining the differences vs the Zi8. It seems that aside from touchscreen (if you really want it), the only real differences are a wider-angle lens and supposedly better low-light performance. I think I'll wait for a few reviews from people who actually buy it before investing on this update.PS: Like the Zi8 it also takes an external mic

Agree Mark M Scheingold...I also 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 Think that we need a more detailled explanation from Amazon...Please Amazon, Could you tell us Why the DMC-SZ9 is Under Review and if the Panasonic DMC-SZ9 has Some kind of technical or malfunction problems?

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, unless they change the date again. 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!!!!!!

At last it is January now...By this time, Leica should let us know when in January it will be available. Or it will be good if Amazon.com team give us that information for users...

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.

Likewise, I pre-ordered D800E on March 10th and only received one email on April 16th from Amazon notifying me to wait for future shipping date notice. Nothing else has happened since.

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.

I give up, I picked up the S95 and the ZS7 for our cruise next week. Nikon told everyone this would be out by the end of September. Anyone hear anything else?

Checked local Wal-mart and it was not there. Contacted Target and they say they have it in the store but it is not on the floor yet. They have put one on hold for me to pick up today at 6pm. So, we will see if this really happens or not.~edit: 1PM - Just spoke to the Target and confirmed that they have found the camera in the incoming stock and have set it aside for me. I have no idea why Amazon does not have it. I will have to pay tax and drive a good distance but I prefer this one over the Cannon SD4500IS.

I saw a release date of 28th Feb for the UK, but I'm sure I saw 11th Feb somewhere on Amazon.com yesterday (although I can't see that anywhere now).UPDATE: a quick search on the web shows "March sometime" as being the current info. I think Amazon.com made a typo somewhere, hence I can't find it again.

Who knows??? I saw the July 24th date last week and now as I look at various sites it says August. Just "August", no date with it. I preordered my in April, since it was suppose to be due on in May. Then June. Then July 24th. Now "August". I don't know why Amazon seems to be actually selling them now. Does this mean they actual have ones in stock? I would call Amazon (the contact information isn't hard to find) and ask them directly IF they actually have them *in stock*! To be honest, I would be shocked if they did, because no one else does! (And don't be fooled by eBay; there are sellers there ALWAYS selling stuff months before it is released! Of course, they never mention that in their listings!)
