    GAH! i finally decided to pull the trigger on a tz198 and now it seems they're out of stock (have been for a few days). i've tried emailing sony and have gotten no response.

    buying from a 3rd party isn't really an option for me. i get a pretty nice discount through work which makes it cheaper than buying through ebay or somewhere else.

    anyone have any idea when these will be in stock?

    It would be nice to think they'll be back before Christmas, but you should prepare for the worst. Can you wait till next year to get one?

    i can probably wait until next year. but it would have been nice to have it before i go on vacation for x-mas. hopefully the price on the SSD will go down as well.

    The only reason I can think of TZ198 out of stock is they have problem getting enough 64GB SSD from samsung.

    Sony has they will no longer offer the TZ198 as it was a one time production.

    Sony offer only the TZ91 in Japan and through US imports.

    Sony does not have any comment on a new US TZ in the near future.
