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.

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!!!

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. 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!!!!!!

Im in the same situation pre order sep 18... still waiting, the same messages as you guys. The only problem with amazon is that when you send an email to know whats going on they always answer with the generic emails of were sorry, bla bla, you can cancel anytime... I really wanted to have this cam before dec 5th... now ill have to travel for a month with out it.

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.

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...

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!)

Anyone with any new information on when it's going to be available? Canon site removed the "Available in August 2009" and inserted a new link of "find a retail store". but no online store has it yet.Also on the sx20IS canon page, there's already a review, so, someone already have-it.

My experience in the past is Amazon aims for you to get the device the day its available to the public. My preorders in the past have arrived on the listed "available on" date. I'd try contacting Amazon directly though- it seems to mildly vary from product-to-product as to when preorders are actually received by the buyer.

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.

Bite the bullet and just get it if you can find one for sale right now. I pre-ordered mine on Feb 8, and still no ship date from Amazon. :-( From experience, the price of a particular camera model will remain the same until the next new model becomes available.

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.

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.

I ordered mine on April 7th of this year and I got my confirmation e-mail from Amazon today saying I will be getting mine on Thursday May 8th. I'm assuming that anyone who ordered it after or at the same time will not be getting a release date delivery and those who ordered it before April 7th will either get theirs on the release date, Wednesday, or Thursday.
