Amazon's misleading stock availability I ordered this a week ago and Amazon said it was in stock and today (November 6) says it still is in stock but sold by Adorama Camera. Well, why does Amazon say it won't ship until December 3rd? I bought it just to find out it won't ship for a month. Last order I ever place with Amazon!!!!!!

"Last order I ever place with Amazon!!!!!!"R. Stout. Call me skeptical, but I don't believe you. ;-)

Thanks for the tip !Amazon has usually been stellar on delivery, but this nonsense does not make me want to order this. Better to wait for the real deal - high speed, instant uploading, raw transferring version if they make it to that round of funding............

When you call customer service to order one at Sony, they aren't honest about what is going on. They try saying it is "just such a popular best selling item that it has already sold out" which makes no sense because it's not available online yet even and there are no existing reviews out there from apparently all these people who possess the camera already. So I held off on ordering right now and I'd prefer to order it through Amazon anyway.

Ordered it on saturday. Thought it was going to ship out today (monday). Called them, and they told me it was not in stock, and they were getting them in on Wednesday. I canceled the order. I will wait for Amazon to get them in.

For what it matters, I spoke to a CSR at Canon on Tuesday, and the camera is due to ship on 9/28. The first stores to get it will be Adorama, BH Photo, Calumet and Amazon. How long it takes to get to the DC for each retailer depends on their distance from Canon's DC. If it actually ships on 9/28, I would imagine that shipments from each retailer should be around 10/5.The extra 5% off helps, and I got back in on this since Amazon does not charge shipping.Good Luck, I hope this camera lives up to its promise.

Asked Amazon customer service and they said it's out of stock because so many people pre-ordered. I ordered in December and found out I won't be getting one from the initial batch.

I talked to an Amazon rep who just confused the issue more. My order still says that the expected delivery date is October 29th. The Amazon rep said that there aren't any in stock and that they won't be shipping today. When I asked him when it WOULD ship, he said that my estimated delivery date was October 29th. When I pointed out that this couldn't possibly be accurate given what he had just said, he responded with, "the time is given to you is accurately calculated by the packaging department.So I assure you that you will get it on time." UPDATE: Sure enough, this morning I got an email saying, "We're still trying to obtain the following item[s] you ordered..." so, no, they weren't shipping any of these out on Friday. I guess we all just get to wait it out now.

Hey, I called Amazon and spoke with the department that handles product stocking. They told me they will not be receiving it until April. Does this make sense? I'm seeing posts here claiming to be receiving March.

Just received the camera today. waited forever for amazon. ended up buying it from tigerdirect.com. came with free shipping (fast too...ordered it on thurs). so far i'm really impressed with the camera. can't believe that even after this whole thread, amazon still maintains that the product has "not been released". I totally understand if they, for some reason, can't get their hands on this product. But at least update the page to say "out of stock", which is more accurate in this scenario. I initially thought that it wasn't going to come out till June ANYWHERE based on amazon's response to my email inquiry. Good thing I came across this thread. Thanks guys.

I have the same question. It seems out of stock since last week. Not really sure what's wrong with Amazon right now.

Amazon moves prices often. Just a luck of the draw thing. It sucks that amazon got rid of its 30 day pricematch guarantee. Your only chance is that the camera is out of stock for a couple of weeks. Amazon will give you the price difference if the item hasnt shipped, so I would order it and then you would have about 4 weeks for it to drop again(just have to check daily) and let amazon know.

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.

I ordered one from J&R; on 5/8 when their website said "In Stock" and "ships in 1-2 days." I started getting a little nervous when I checked back on the site later that day and the status changed to "ships in 3-5" days, and yet again to "out of stock." I called them 5/11 and they told me that the product had been delayed and they had no ETA of when they would be getting any in. They canceled my order without any issue (so far), but I just wish they had been actually truthful about it being in stock when they accepted the order.

Well just found out my estimated delivery date would be June 6th. They tried to tell me "when something is shown as temporarily out of stock"... um yeah, IT NEVER ONCE SHOWED THAT! This has truly been a pathetic experience with amazon. I am incredibly disappointed.

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...

It's currently showing as out of stock. Was it out of stock when you ordered it? I would like to order one, but not if the out of stock condition will persist for weeks as it seems to be in your case. The description from Amazon doesn't give any indication of when or if it will be back in stock.

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!
