Canon s100 October 5-13 release date?

Crisis averted: I have a family member who is going to loan me their s95 while I am on vacation. I also sent Amazon a pissy letter. Sometimes that helps. Hopefully everyone else cancels between now and then and I can get mine earlier! If anyone hears anything though, much appreciated. Need it before Oct 14th.

Oooh...October would be great...I'm planning on buying this camera when I go home for a visit in March...the sooner it gets released, the quicker the price can drop on it/demand goes down/it starts popping up used

Ok, I just got off the phone with Amazon, again. They are claiming that the shipping date for everyone will go out to the later dates, I got, shortly. I hope they are wrong, by any means. Even if I don't get mine by my vacation, I hope others can it earlier than they anticipate for me.

That very likely could be the case. I won't be too upset if they push it back 2-3 weeks. I've got enough cameras to tide me over. Sold off my 2x P&S cameras in anticipation of this, so I'm currently compact-less.

Yep, as long as it's in stock by December I'm good (still got my trusted S95).

At some point I gotta check out the Scubaboard discussion to see if the S100 will fit in the RecSea S95 underwater housing....

If you've got a local Best Buy, it's always worth it to drop in once a week and ask the photo folk whether or not there's been one delivered. I've had great luck in the past with several cameras...including the S95 last fall, shortly after it was announced. I also got one of my 5d2 bodies at Best Buy in the very beginning, when most places were OOS.

Obviously, they'll usually have the s95 (or whatever the current/past model of what you're looking for) on the shelf...but sometimes, they'll get an early shipment of the new model and don't put them out for obvious reasons.
