Thank you for the link. Gee, at ¥100,000 it will run about $875 for me (including tax). A bit steep for my pocketbook!

interesting -- I just changed the shipping method on my order from ground to overnight and the "delivery estimate" changed to May 4th implying the May 3rd ship date...so I will get it this Sunday!!!
hmm...anyone know of any carriers that deliver on Sundays? well maybe Monday... well maybe in June... well maybe...hmm...

If you get it-please let us know..perhaps Amazon has some special arrangement since others of us are hearing July....
I am most curious not only about picture sharpness, but I read that macro is just 'OK' and I was hoping for superior macro shots. Perhaps I will be disappointed in that feature--but I am hoping either that won't be the case or there may be a reasonable add-on for that.
I also note that it takes lens. Would anyone know if they are specific to this new cam or just require the right threads and are the usual ones available?
I will keep watching these posts!

Just so you know, Amazon shipping/delivery estimates are many times unreliable. Don't get me wrong...I'd love it if you were right, but I just don't see this thing shipping early from Amazon. In my experience, they are one of the last etailers to get the new products. Last year I had to cancel my Amazon preorder for my Windows iPod since other stores had it in stock and I couldn't wait. Plus, I don't even want to discuss the delay in my Canon S45 that I ordered there (2 months before I canceled it when I saw the V1 coming out).
Again, I hope it's true but I'm going to be pessimistic for now. I ordered it through Amazon as well--ship date still reflects April 2004.

Did it ship? If not, did they update the date?

Some of these site are not good a keeping current ship dates. Best way to know of the V1 is getting close is to check for it on eBay. The Sony dealers will be setting up auctions waiting for delivery. This has happened with all the new cameras.

Thanks, Greg. I keep waiting and 'almost' bought the Canon S50 si ce I am getting so impatient. Have to exercise some discipline and just wait for this great cam!
I search Yahoo about it twice a day. My dealer is holding to July! I guess Amazon likes to lead us a week at a time as bait.

They have not updated the ship or arrival dates either. How amazon come's up with these dates is crazy.
I just hope that they get it out quickely as soon as it hits the floor.. I want/need it for my wife's birthday present the first week of june. [fingers crossed]

I think they are stringing us along-unfortunately. I suspect the July date is the more realistic one. On the other hand, Sony may be ironing out some kinks--which can only be good for us all. I would rather have them doing any fixes than have to return cameras.
I DO hope tho, that you can make the date for yuor wife--I just think it it questionable..
Maybe you can giftwrap a box and put a review of the cam in it???

--I talked with a salesperson at the Sony site and they are taking orders and said it would ship about June 5 do you think your sales person could be wrong? There site says May so I would think June is more realistic than July.

I emailed and then called Amazon today since they advertised all cameras on sale but the V1 was still priced at $699.99. I told them that there was nothing in the restrictions that would exclude the camera from the sale (only stuff to do with other merchants, auctions, certain brands--not Sony, etc). Well, they apparently had the nerve to change the V1 page to show a list price of $799.95 and make the camera appear to be on sale. Guess they'll be getting another call from me tomorrow about the false advertising-turned-deceitful list prices tactics. I ordered mine in March and the ETA is still listed as April, 2004.
