had a look on amazon and i can get the battery for about £35 anyway. oh well.

there now saying the week comencing 23rd of April. as a way of saying sorry for the wait ive been offered a free 16gb sdhc, but ive already bought a 32gb, so i asked about a spare battery and was told i could have one for half price. not bad i guess.

last week Jessops told my insurer that they would be getting the x900 on the 9th. hmm a bank holiday. phoned them Tuesday and today and the shop is still trying to confirm if they arrived this week. this is crazy. i dont understand how my insurer can wash there hands of this situation. im going...

im more interested in someone who is about to make a purchase there anyway, and wants to get a sizable discount on there purchase. im sure if your buying a camera from them they have a far bigger range. the impression i get is that they dont really sell camcorders.

i cant post in the classifieds yet, but im going to sell the voucher, wheres the best place to advertise?

i phoned Jessops to see if i could get them to get a SD900. no, apparentley its discontinued. ok what about a TM900? yes these are still available at £789, ok what ever. so i phone my local shop, "can you change the X900 for a TM900", "hmm it looks like it could take longer to get the TM900 as...

i know but when i visited there store they said it was on the system, and was on back order and a special order item. which seems to be the case for most of the decent/expensive camcorders on there site. which as akcron pointed out, might indicate a supplier dispute.

my guess is something similar, with maybe Jessops waiting until the last minute to offer new models, so as to clear as many of last years first.

not sure whats going on, but it does seem strange that there the only major shop to not be able to get one.

i ordered it on the 20th of Feb, before it had been officially released.

seems a similar thread is running through these issues.

its strange Panasonic havent given them a firm date, yet you can go and buy one in John Lewis or one of many other camera dealers online and instore.
