Thoughts? I don't have a silhouette at all but I've always wanted one. Might have to finally do it.

I only recently bought the Cameo 2 so am not ready to upgrade, but the Bluetooth is a nice overdue feature.

Yes, you should definitely get it. Go on the website and look at the store and see how it all works.

I may have to. My Cameo 2 quit cutting. The blade just won't drop down. I've done everything the website says and have contacted customer service. They need a video showing what is happening. I just uploaded it to them. I REALLY hope this can be fixed. I hate not being able to use it.

I have the original Cameo and although there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, I think I may upgrade to this one... If I can sell my Cameo, I will definitely get the new one!

SaveHe likes to do art projects, he'll probably do a bunch of DC comic art. He also wants to make tshirts, decals for family ... stuff I don't want to bother with and right now I don't let him touch it.. I mean what if it broke! LOL

I have the original and it's one of my most favorite things ever! When I found out about the cameo 3 I told family I was getting one. I ordered it Sunday night from Amazon. It said it should arrive between 8/4 and 8/9. Sure hope it is here before the weekend!!!
ETA: I just checked and it's going to ship tomorrow!!!!!!!

Did you order the one sold from Swing Design on Amazon? That's where I ordered it but they said it would ship in a couple of days. Did you get a shipping notice?

I really want one too! I have the original Cameo and it has been working like a champ since 2012!
Do I need one - no.... LOL
I am going to wait and see how everyone likes theirs before I order.
I am really interested in the new software they will have for it. Silhouette Studio V4. Right now - I am not loving their most current update V3.7...

I have the original Cameo and although there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, I think I may upgrade to this one... If I can sell my Cameo, I will definitely get the new one! I bought the original SD version (essentially like the portrait) not even 6 months before the Cameo was released...I didn't know it was coming and had wanted a 12 inch cutting format, but settled since it was what was available at the time. I was able to sell it locally right after Christmas...so I definitely suggest local first. I see Cameos sit and sit and sit in resale groups (mostly because shipping is incredibly pricey). However, I did buy the Cameo first, lol. I just used my allowance (hubs and I each get a bit of money each pay check to do with what we want...I usually spend about twice that...lol) to pay our savings back $15 every 2 weeks and then when I sold the SD, it pretty much covered the rest of what I 'owed'. I would do the same this time, but I feel like Silhouette has bloomed SO MUCH and is such a known brand now (unlike when I got my SD) that the market is saturated and selling my original Cameo would be so much harder!! I've been so tempted by the Cameo 2 sales (amazing bundles for $180 on Amazon) but figured after the third or fourth one it was indicator a new one was coming and sure enough...hello Cameo 3. I want it so bad, but I need a new computer first!!

I'm in the market for a used Silhouette Portrait. If any of you that have upgraded want to sell your old one, send me a pm.

So I got my shipping notification from Amazon yesterday saying delivery 8/9 and UPS tracking number. UPS says it should be delivered today. Amazon still says 8/9.
I really hope UPS is right and Anazon is wrong. I'd love to play with it this weekend. It's coming from WI and I am in IL so not completely wishful thinking especially since it shipped out yesterday morning.

I want to know what materials it can cut. Yes, it has a deep cut blade, but what additional materials will it be able to handle?

I think the current Cameos and the 3 will basically cut the same materials - deep cut blade for slightly thicker materials like fun foam, felt and very thin chipboard and the auto blade to replace the standard ratchet. I understand the main advantage of the auto blade is that it self adjusts to get the right depth etc so theoretically you don't have to do trial cuts if you're not familiar with materials, working out what settings are best etc.

The regular blade already cuts thin chipboard, especially the Silhouette brand.
I was hoping for a blade more like the Cricut Explore has. I want to cut leather.

Mine shipped this morning with a UPS tracking# and it's 'estimated' to be delivered on Thursday. Seems about right coming from CA to OH. Can't get here quick enough!

I want one! I have the original Cameo and I LOVE IT!
I promised myself I would sell my Expression 2 Anniversary Edition (unused) and carts (most new and unopened) before I purchase the new one.
There's a Scrapbook garage sale at a LSS at the end of the month -- I need to get it back in the box! I will consider all offers -- I just want it gone.

I don't think there's any change as far as thicker materials are concerned - it still won't cut something like leather. ETA: Well according to this you can cut leather. www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/how-to-cut-leather-with-silhouette-cameo
