Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :) I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

I may be a Johnny-come-lately. Just placed my 'pre-order' on Friday. I'm hoping I get it soon! I'm leaving next Tuesday for a conference in Miami, and I'm really needing this camera!

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!

Some USA camera stores have the 35/1.8 AF-S lens in stock right now for $200. Forget about the price gougers.

Mine is still set for 28 August. I ordered the d50 with both lenses. Is that the same configuration you ordered? If so, please LMK if your's ships today. If they delay shipment, you should get an eMail notice. I did. Actually, I've rec'd 3-4 notices. :(

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 don't have any idea, because the TG-3 is not yet available for sale - it comes out on June 23, I think. I'm sure hoping it does, because I have come to rely on the fisheye lens a great deal. Let's hope Olympus does the right thing and keeps the lens housing the same diameter as the TG-2, which I do own and enjoy great success with.

September 25th it is. Amazon product page is showing it to be in stock now.Hopefully they will start shipping soon.Edit:Looks like anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon is screwed.In stock at Buy.com, J&R;, and Electronics Expo, but Amazon is quoting 1-2 months! WTF?

I spoke with a local photography shop today, and they said the ship date was 5/1, which mean that they would have in stock a few days later. I also called Adorama and spoke with a sales representative who quoted me the 5/1 date. So all of the press has said April availability, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the US. I'm going to call B&H; tomorrow, just to be sure, but otherwise it looks like we will all be sitting back and waiting another month.

I'm also on the wait list. They got my hopes up, giving me a Jan. 19 delivery date, then changed it to "we don't know when it will ship." I might try the local camera shops. I don't mind paying sales tax, but I'm not going to pay an extra $1,600.

It really stinks - I was waiting for Black Friday to purchase and it's gone UP in price. I'm going to rethink this - maybe the D3000 which is here for $100 off. I was so ready to buy!

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.

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.

This camera with the 20mm pancake lens is out of stock EVERYWHERE as far as I can tell. Panasonic's own web site lists it that way, as do every online store I've checked.... except, as you note, for the ones who are taking advantage of the temporary scarcity to charge hundreds of dollars more. I understand it's supply and demand, but I still think it's slimy, and I refuse to deal with those companies. Panasonic pretty clearly underestimated the demand for this model. I think everyone who reacted to the Olympus E-P1 with "Oh, cool idea, pity the auto-focus sucks so badly and they used such a low-res LCD display" wants a GF1 now. Best of luck on getting your camera before Christmas, but my guess is it's a long shot.
