well, a camera's main purpose is still, still pictures. but, as long as you clarified why you didn't like it.. then ok

Fsck this, I just got an order confirmation(6 days late) and an estimated ship date of 7/16/02. Like I'm going to wait until JULY for this camera? Even if it is a good deal @ $310, I'm not waiting 3 months for it...

Its about friggin time!

On FedEx vehicle for delivery ROMULUS MI 04/23/2002 07:53

Did not get a delivery notification e-mail (doesn't matter, I check status about 10 time a day!). I ordered on 4/1 - delayed to 4/15 then got a delay e-mail saying 5/3 - checked online and it said 4/26. Checked this morning and it shipped out yesterday! Thank god I opted for next-day shipping! sheesh...

Now, do I cancel my $310 order??

I'm really just a lurker, but wanted to say that I had a similar situation as Skaven. Ordered the s330 on 4/1, was supposed to ship 4/16, which got delayed (of course). Initial delay was until 5/3, but the webiste status always said 4/26. Mine shipped yesterday (without the requested email confirmation), and I picked it up at the FedEx spot after work. Glad I chose overnight too.

Haven't had much chance to fool with it yet, but looks really cool. Definitely small enough to reasonably tote around. I know if I had anything any bigger it would stay in the desk/closet until I took a trip or something. This is definitely small enough to carry to a football game, trip to the bars, or whatever. About the same size as my wallet, just a bit thicker.

I was about to punt on this deal when I got that delay notice. Glad I didn't now.
