    I ordered mine on July 25th and it is in the boxing stage as of this morning. It was ordered for me through my work under the corporate account. I wonder if they process these orders faster.

    HAHAHA, it's definitely immobile for the moment.
    M17 stands for the Omega Nebula a few lights years away from us in our Milky Way galaxy. Hope they're not shipping from there.

    To be honest, I have yet to print a picture that uses the full 6.3MP.

    I don't understand camera's that have 12MP and up because I never use it (not sure who does unless your a pro photog - then you wouldn't be using a 12MP point and shoot :))

    I always take pics at the highest setting but 90% of the time I am resizing them because there too large....

    The large pictures are very nice if you want to crop them, or you want small parts of them for something else. They're also better for night shots, as imperfections are a lot less noticeable.

    Just ordered my M17x June 28th over the phone, I've been in the production stage since then. I can't wait to see what this thing can do!
