I just receceived a notification from Amazon stating that my order is shipping today.....I'll have it on Sep-1st.

I ordered mine Friday, had it overnighted, and received it Saturday. Works great, the touch screen is handy - it makes zooming and panning around an image much easier. It has a multitude of preset settings for many different situations. The menu system is intiutive.

I'm glad to hear you like it. I just ordered mine last night.I noticed the leather case on the Canon site is not the same as the one listed aT AMAZON. Did you order a case? If so, how did it fit?

Amazon says they shipped this out on Friday and Fedex says that the package is due to be delivered on Sep 1 (Later today). It'll be interesting to see what they shipped. (I did order the silver although that too seems to be 'not released yet').

According to this digital review it is not scheduled for release until October - http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/canon/powershot-sd980-is/canon-powershot-sd980-is-review.html

Interestingly, earlier today the Amazon page said "You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." This was after is was available for a day or two. Now they have added "This item has not yet been released" to the pre-order message. It sounds like Amazon broke a release date.

I'm going to take this out and take some daylight pictures. I'm not too impressed with the indoor pictures to date (approx 40 pictures - most quite grainy in Auto mode). I was hoping this would be better than my ancient 4 Megapixel Konica KD400Z but I guess I'm going to have to put both of these on a tripod and see if my expectations are too high for the 980 IS. I don't expect DSLR quality pictures (I do normally use a Canon 30D with some rather expensive lenses) from a Point and Shoot but if the pictures aren't better than my 7 year old Konica, this is going back to Amazon. --- Update --- Not looking good at all. Turns out that my cousin has a 870 IS (supposed to be not as good as the 880 IS) and out of 6 pictures, 5 were better on his camera. Both cameras were tripod mounted, taken with a 2 second timer and focussed on the same object.

Can't wait. I've read as well late March early April. I wonder if the price will stay the same if not-pre ordered.

I also would like to know. Surely Amazon has SOME idea when they are getting it, if its up for pre-ordering....

September 18th was the date I got when I was attempting to pre-ordered it. OF COURSE I CANCELLED! This is already in retail stores, albeit for $10 more, but COME ON! 2 months wait to save 10 bucks?!?!

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

Several other sites are now showing release date as June 25th. Maybe that's a good sign or just coincidence.

Does anyone know what year this is???? I can't seem to find the answer either.

Why did Amazon remove the items page? Especially when everything on the net is pointing to a release date of Dec. 19 in the US! Ugh the mystery around this on all of the websites is nerve wrecking!

Features you can look up on the web. Release date? No idea...June time frame is what they are saying, but hard to know.

Mark, I had trouble finding information on this as well. The GIT website is www.gitcorp.com and you can find this collection under the coming soon section. Unfortunatly it only says Holiday Season 2006 as the release date.
