I have been waiting like mad for this camera since March. The only reason why I missed its announcement is because I was searching for Canon S6 IS as the replacement for S5 IS. Apparently the new replacements are: SX10 IS and SX1 IS.

• SX1 IS is not available in North America.
• SX10 IS ships out in October while SX1 IS will be shipping around November – December.
