D80x Coming Out Soon? I was wondering if anybody heard the rumor that D80x might be coming out any time soon?

I recently had a very long talk with a rep from Nikon. He said that there is no new replacement for the D80 yet in the pipeline. Can not verify that this is the truth, but he usually is honest about this sort of thing.

I'm a Nikon fan but Nikon needs to come out soon - now - with the upgrade for the D80. Canon is eating their lunch in that market area with the Rebel XSi and the EOS 40D. Other manufacturers are also jumping in. Go Nikon Go !

"Just waiting on some reviews before pre ordering. I am a little skeptical about image quality."We can drool, but the proof will be in the tests! I haven't seen a review of a superzoom yet that was not a disappointing compromise. I hope they got this one right, I have used a Fuji for years, very trustworthy and fits my usage requirements.

I'm astonished that Amazon believes that I own this device. I have, however, been searching diligently for information on this very subject. The best estimate/guess for general release is perhaps the middle of November. Apparently the W700 has experienced limited release in just a few major markets. The surprising element to me is, considering the vast number of articles previewing this and similar devices (all touting an Oct. 26th release), is the silence regarding their absence in the marketplace.

yeah that is the only thing holding me from the camera. any reliable rumours on the release date of the new one? I can only wait about 2 months time though

It is so frustrating that these camera companies (all of them) can't be more specific about their product availability date other than a hazy sometime in the Spring 2009 or March 2009. Surely, by now, they know the exact date. Is the camera ready or isn't it? If I want to take the camera somewhere by a specific date, I need to know will I have it or not and I don't want some package sitting on my doorstep for a week or two if they can't make that date. It makes me think their product isn't any good and they're waiting for the other guy to show his first.

Last time I searched for a release date, they said March 31st is when Fuji is supposed to release this product.. I'll probably be happy with anything as I had the Fuji S700 so this is a big upgrade for me.. I'm waiting patiently..

I called my local camera dealer with this question and he said that it will be released November 25th. Unfortunately his first shipment is sold out.

We all realize this item is backordered now... My issue is that it seems like amazon didn't receive ANY 5DmkII bodies.I also have a pre-order (Sept. 18) and have heard nothing, if they could just let me know that they didn't have enough to get to me in the first batch and they are waiting for more cameras that'd be great. I just want some kind of confirmation.

It doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere in the US yet. I think that they may have jumped the gun a bit on their release date. I know that in the past it's taken a bit of time to get their holders in the US.

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 just received an email from an Adorama sales rep and they told me that they dont have an estimated time of arrival for this DX lens. I checked BH photo and it looks like they may have it in store.

I don't think they had any idea it would be quite this popular, particularly as a pre-order. Hoping to get mine, too, before Christmas. But, if it's delayed further, it's delayed further - that certainly won't make me not buy it. I understand how anxious people are to get their hands on one of these - I feel the same way - patience is a virtue. (yeah, yeah, I still want it here now, too ;-)

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.

as Buford stated the p80 had issues with the image quality. they could be delaying the camera due to some issues encountered prior releasing it. i don't know if nikon already released it, cause in their webpage they don't state the release date. i remember when i purchased my P4 coolpix, that the had the release date on their webpage.
