Just went onto BB website. Searched for the HX100V. Shipping not available. But, clicked on check stores (mine was Milwaukee area) and there are a bunch that say available to pick up in stores ranging from May 13 to May 17th. I pre-ordered mine back in april BUT you might all want to check out the stores in your area for possible availability. This just happened today (I was on yesterday and still showed not available for pickup at any store in my area).

Grab them while you can AND still at $399.00 price (plus tax)
 
I have a big weekend planned for Memorial Day and am so glad to get the camera in time. I was afraid it would be June before I was able to get one. Not counting my chickens yet though...fingers crossed! Woohooo
 
Ordered the HX100V for ship to store. Got this email today:

The pickup date for this order has changed. You should now be able to pick up the item(s) below on 05/13/2011 at the (my local) Best Buy store #xxxx.

Please do not go to the store yet. We will send you another e-mail once the item has arrived and is ready for pickup.
 
apparently this is very random as to which cities are getting them first. I live on the California Central Coast and no stores between San Francisco and LA are getting them - I did random checks of other cities: Atlanta is getting them but Dallas isn't - Orlando is getting them but Denver isn't - so on and so on. But my guess is that if the information is accurate then all stores should be getting them within the next few weeks.
 
Yeah nothing available in Denver currently : ( I guess I will have to check: Morning, Noon, and Night! I need it before 6/1!
 
I am glad to hear that some cities are getting the camera, I just checked the BB stores on Long Island, and all I get is "Sorry, this item is no longer available".
I will keep my figures crossed for you guys waiting for it.
 
I had a preorder with Amazon I just canceled as I ordered with Best Buy as well and for here in Ohio it says 5/17 and the price is still $399, which while there is tax, is still about $25 cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.

Who would of thought BB of all places would have not only the best price but also get them first.

Now I'm going to be curious how this compares to the Fuji HS20

Little less wide, but a little more reach. Better screen and I'm hoping better stablization as its in lens rather than on the chip.

Also looks to be a little more ergonomic, as I'm not really that comfortable with the HS20. Its not bad but just doesn't fall into hand perfectly

With its EXR sensor though in the 8meg high DR/low noise mode its pretty decent though.

Curious to see how the Sony will compare

Where in Ohio are you? Near Cleveland all of these ship to stores look like they are shipping right now. It says "usually ships in 3-5 days" which is what it normally says for products.

Darn. I knew I should I have been more patient. It was between this camera and a PS3 and I opted for the PS3. Either way Sony wins, ha, but it looks like I'll be waiting for another paycheck until I pick up this camera.
 
after seeing this post, I called BB, and looked it up online. It's now showing ship to store available. The rep confirmed that ship to store was available for my local BB. and made the switch on my order. eta 5-13 finger crossed.

Looks like the HX100V is available from Best Buy in MI.
 
Thanks for the update. I had checked BB but had not checked the ship to store lately as everytime I did, it would say not available for MS, AL, FL or TN.

But I went there right away after reading your post and ordered my tonight. I just hoping now that I wasn't too late and they will run out before my order gets filled.
Oh well at least I got my order in. Wait and see now.
Thanks again.
 
I ordered mine for Gulfport, MS.
E-mail conf. says will be in store May 17th.
Receipt says 17th-25th.
I also checked these other locations for anyone in these areas:
Nashville, TN 5/14
Pensacola, Fl 5/17
Mobile, Al 5/17
Slidell, LA 5/19
Hattiesburg, MS 5/14.

With the exception of Nashville all these stores are within 120 miles of me. There are others but I didn't check every single one.

Good Luck to everyone. I have a feeling this forum is about to get a lot of photo posting.
I think they need to create a sub cat of sony talk just for us HX100V owners.
I am almost giddy with excitement.
