Panasonic DMC FX500K Availability? It's out now
646861
I really want this camera- the manual controls using the touchscreen look great. Has anyone ordered from Amazon and gotten it already? It says it'll ship in "1-2 months," but if it's already out... ?

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.

I think is wrong decisoin for panasonic to release this camera so late, after all other company release their camera isn't wise decision, they better drop price fast.

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.

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!!!!!!

What combo was amazon offering? The new Panasonic TVs (2011 models) should be available in March as per an article on engadget on 02/03, so chances are that prices will drop and/or combos will be offered in the coming weeks. But inventories may be limited I am assuming

Pricing is $2300 and will probably not come out until July (or later). I just ordered a mark I for an inflated price ($1600) from Adorama.

Thanks for the input and advice. I'm new to high-end(expensive) digital camera market. I realized after I posted this question that the camera is sold out or otherwise unavailable now and it could take a month or two to get one even if I ordered today. I'll definitely look into buying one in the next few months.

The price has gone up to 498.00, still a 2-4 week expected ship time. The latest rumors on the DPreview board say that Panasonic will likely concentrate on the FZ70 line. But who knows? There seems to be a scarcity.

After very extensive research on many different camcorders, I ordered the GS500 yesterday. Try www.cnet.com,

I think this is a timly update from panasonic now, I have FZ28 its a nice camera, with these few addons i am sure FZ-35 will be a best seller, recording in Stereo with MP4 for small size was desperately needed. when you buy, dont forget to buy 8Gb Class-6 memory card with a Tripod and Camera Case. these are must have., enjoy

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues. Would upgrade from mkII. Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP. But alas, I'll refrain.

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. :-(
