I got the camera shipped via USPS.The camera LCD screen did not have a protector and everything was loosely packed.But it does have everything in it.Have kept the battery to charge lets see how it goes.This is the first time i see such a packaging from amazon.

Ok i got it charged took a few pictures.They come out pretty good.The buzzing sound in Auto mode is really irritating.

well, i got the camera....was in loosely packed condition but intact. i took some shots after charging the battery. The auto-focus makes quite audible noise while focussing. However, the pictures are clear if you know how to work with settings.

I received my SD1200 Thursday via USPS. It came several days earlier than estimated. Everything was in fine condition. I have received many shipments from Amazon via USPS and have never had any problems.

Hello, thanks for your questions. I can confirm that this camera is in new condition. The Product Page will state if the camera is available in used or refurbished condition. According to the information on the Product Page, the shipping cost is $19.95. Shipping will not be free unless otherwise stated on the Product Page. I hope this helps!

@Hugh - by the time I get to evaluating and posting, many reviews will be posted. I'm leaving in a week for a multi-month hike 3 days after the camera is due to arrive.Interestingly, the Sony website now says they're taking pre-orders and it will ship 3/17. I've got my e-mail saying it will ship 3/12 so I'll see by the end of today what happened.

As you may know, the camera is out. Mine is due to arrive from Amazon tomorrow. (I pre-ordered back in February)For some sample photos taken in hands of real users here's a link <<Please note: at the bottom another photographer "phat-slug" included 14 pictures taken that can be blown up for evaluation>>http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1007&thread;=37922920

Dear Brian:yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let the customer/consumer pick up one of their own.hope this helps!love,joyce Dear Brian:yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let... » Read More Dear Brian:yes, this is VERY normal; in fact, i cannot think of a single camera that comes with a memory card in it's original box (just the camera itself), other than ones in which come in some kind of a 'package' deal, such as the ones you might see on amazon, that include the camera, and several other items you may want, such as a bag, an sd card, an extra battery, etc. most cameras you buy today do not generally include an sd card; probably because everyone has such vastly different 'needs', as far as an sd card is concerned, so rather than supply a 'basic' sd card, they just let the customer/consumer pick up one of their own.hope this helps!love,joyce « Show Less

Do they charge your credit card before shipping the item? Buydig.com did that with me. they show he camera as in Stock and then when u order it, your card is charged and u are told that camera is backordered. I hope Amazon does not do that.

Thats funny.... thanks for the headsup.... buydig updated their website to - Pre Order Ships Upon Release From Canon

Be careful to buy the one that is not just "fulfilled" by amazon but also sold by amazon. This will always come in original authentic packaging versus the third party sellers who sell on amazon and move a lot of suspicious looking cartridges (eg packed into plastic bags, missing canon packaging, etc...).

I received my lens, which was not shipped for 12 days after my credit card was charged, and while the packaging was marked "Canon", it looked more like a package that a refurbished one might come in. However, nowhere did it indicate that it was refurbished, but I suspect that it might have been.

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

My apologies. If you have had it in your hands then I certainly cannot dispute that. I have done more research and found that Target says that the camera is available (in stock) at our local Targets. I will see tomorrow and report back.

Enjoy the show. I hope your camera arrives in time. I'm tracking mine and found it was shipped this morning via UPS. Now that it is on the way I am so glad I decided not to wait any longer for Amazon to get in stock!

I just contacted Canon Tech Support. The Canon XA10 has shipped to Dealers!!!!! I just noticed Norman Camera's in Michigan has posted it as "in stock". However, I plan to purchase from One Call or Amazon.

I would call Canon and bitch them out. Sadly, it seems like all the manufacturer are doing the same thing and I think it's a crock. Who wants to sit at the PC and read what I heard is a 96 page manual with COPY stamped on it. I was going to buy the 20is and found out there was no manual. I don't have to have a Canon for a P&S;, I would rather find one with a manual, which I haven't yet.

My order status at AMAZON is "Shipping Soon" and "This portion of your order is being prepared for shipment and cannot be canceled or changed", means, they are packing the camera and it should be at my door soon. I ordered on January 24, 2011
