Vistek in Toronto apparently received their first shipment of 7D's today. They won't be selling them until tomorrow I've been told.
Thanks Dan
UPDATE
I have a couple of denials in regards to the camera being available today at Aden and Downtown Camera in Toronto. I have had friends check Canon's ordering site and the camera has yet to be allocated to a few stores.
It's not much yet
I have word that a few stores in Toronto will have them tomorrow. Two of them being Downtown Camera and Aden Camera. There is reports of a third unnamed store having them.
This post will probably update a lot over the next few days.

Hopefully Vistek too !
Hopefully Adorama soon!!
Yes, Adorama plesae!
Yes, Adorama plesae!!!
Come on circuit city!
please!! monday or tuesday in the USA!!
Downtown and Aden getting them before Vistek and Henry’s? Unheard of.
My Pre-order is at Henry’s go GO Canon Canada
Adorama on Monday…please!
My friend’s coming over from NYC and only then will make on time to me.
Arggghhh!!!
This rumor seems out of place… most other sites are reporting Tuesday of next week at best anywhere in North America: Friday seems ambitious!
Kevin is saying that this machine is a terminal can it be checked out again and please contact this kevin. Unable to access pacs on this machine. If same as terminal in that room please change numbers and details on system. The pc is not terminal like for this pacs isn’t in working command and Kevin is not amused.
Hope it’s true… aden have been my store for many years.
… But where are the reviews?? I’m dying to know what the high ISO performance of this camera is like…
Yes, all this hype over this camera with limited evidence of image quality. All I keep hearing about is all the great features it has.Well who cares about all that if the image quality isnt there.It might turn out to like wakeing up on christmas morning and finding nothing but socks under the tree.
but I like getting socks… =(
imaging-resource.com has tons of samples including RAW files…
I think the lack of reviews and images may have something to do with the fact that the camera isn’t widely available yet… Just a thought…
Oh, and +1 on Adorama… fingers crossed.
Just recieved this info from Aden Camera Toronto
Thank you for sending us with your inquiry. Due to Canon’s embargo, dealers in Canada cannot ship/sell the 7D until 12:01AM Saturday September 26th. We are working on the logistics with Canon Canada regarding shipping/pick up of the units today so that we are in line with their policy.
7D started selling in Hong Kong today. I bought mine for HK$13,000 cash price (body only).
How do you like it so far?
Yep Vistek is saying the same thing as Aden, they have their initial shipment but they cant sell them until tomorrow.
Only played with it for a few minutes and battery now charging. Solid built. Menu on choosing diff AF method is complicated at first site. Live view AF does seem faster than other Canon models.
I just got off the phone with Canon and they said that the 7D is shipping today.
When will Amazon starting shipping 7D pre-orders?
I would guess that if folks are saying Canon has an embargo until 9/26, that if Amazon has ’em they will start to ship Saturday. Which über-sucks for me since I leave for a trip on Saturday and won’t get back until Thursday, and I wanted the camera for the trip and got overnight shipping.
+1
Amazon.ca or Amazon.com? I haven’t heard of any US stores (online or otherwise) reporting these cameras in stock (Even with an embargo).
When I saw this, I decided to call Amazon “customer service”. I told them the above info about the North America date and they told me that it was in their system to be shipped out on October 30. I asked if it was a confirmed date or just an estimated date and she stuck to the claim that it was confirmed.
I seriously doubt a CSR peon knows that information from just looking at a status screen, so who knows, really what Amazon’s target ship date is on the pre-orders. Amazon customer care is really sub-par. I need to stop ordering from them, really … oh well.
I have found that Amazon is really pessimistic when it comes to ship dates.
Although, in the case of the 7D, who knows how many Canon is sending Amazon from the first batch of cameras. Part of me would prefer to not get one of the first batch. The other part of me wants my 7D unboxing pictures on Engadget :)
If you think CSR peon would not know that information, they why did u call her? She was just doing her job.
“This post will probably update a lot over the next few days.”
Mr CanonRumurs, Your permalinks automatically open all the comments on the news item in question, regardless of whether the reader is interested in the comments or not. This is a bad system both for you and the users!
NERD ALERT!
I was there today (Friday). They said Tuesday.
LOL.
Just don’t get overly too excited about a camera that is not going to pruduce but noisy-blacks narrow-DR images. you don’ believe me, just go compare it to top tier cameras, check imaging resources “House” shot as a good comparison example or anything else you consider a fair comparison.
Every thing in this page is Canada-centered! Is this CanadaRumors or CanonRumors. Who cares about this cold remote vritually-uninhabited country any more than Antarctica or Greenland?!!
went to aden today, they said they will receive their shipment monday. downtown camera didnt have theirs either.
Umm.. I did as you asked, and I’m not seeing what you’re seeing.
I’ve also compared various other shots (i.e. the model shots etc) and it seems that the 7D stomps the performance of the Nikon APS-C sensors… Hell, it’s even competitive with the 7D and D700.
How is this a bad system. Makes no sense
don be too presumptive, if I am openly dissatisfied with Canon, that doesn’t automatically mean I am promoting Nikon or anybody else, I actually own three canon digitals, one EOS and 2 powershots, and nothing else from any other brand!
I’m not presuming anything. I’m making comparisons against Nikon because they, fairly, have been the sensors to beat lately.
“… But where are the reviews?? I’m dying to know what the high ISO performance of this camera is like…”
buy on the rumor (that it’s a good camera, so people say), and sell on the news (when you check your images on the monitor for the first time an you start to ask yourself: what have I done? why did I waste my money on something i am not sure of? how could i’ve possibly believed the hype that 18MP on 1.6x sensor is ok when Canon in 2006 said that they didn’t want to go beyond 8MP in 30D, because they thought it would impact IQ?!!!).
Well, it looks like the Canon 5D MarkII w/ the 24-105 lens is available for shipping now. Seems like it’s been backordered for a while. I wonder when just the 24-105 lens will be available for purchase.
What’s the best type of CF card for 7D? Will UDMA 6 work?
Check this out: Cinema5D member Dan Chung has already produced a film using a production model 7D that he purchased in Beijing.

Is that enough evidence for you?
It won’t be as good as 5D2, that’s for sure.
But better than 50D/40D/K7D/D90/D5000/D300.
Essentially the king of crops.
Nope, it only means you are blinded by your prejudices when there’s overwhelming evidence against your garbage claims.
You seem to know an awful lot about this camera already. I wish I could be awesome too, can you teach me?

in the moment this news item is on the top of the home page, but in a few days upcoming items will push it down, it can quickly go to page 2 & become difficult to find (while it is still being updated), here comes the permalink role, instead of going to the homepage you type http://www.canonrumors.com/2009/09/7d-north-american-availability/ in order to avoid getting lost in the homepage as described above. this permalink in canonrumors system obligatorily opens the news + the comments which we all post under it. There is no way to access the news item directly and purely (w/o the comments) and thats bad for both the site and readers who aren’t interested in the comments (wasted bandwidth & time).
yup… reeks of troll

His name was originally “J-a-c-k C-a-t-a-s-t-r-o-p-h” but then that name was made to trigger the rejection of the post if the server spots it.
Nice video…now to see user, hand held shots from a production camera. Very interested to get a good look at a production unit’s shots at various ISO settings.
Can I teach you instead of him? Will give you few lessons that you shall never forget! Where do you live? ;-)
+2, I’d rather get pairs.
Thanks Rox
I was already eying the SanDisk Extreme Pro, and Rob Galbraith’s article provides more info about it than I had previously seen. The article verifies that this UDMA 6 card is compatible with Canon 5D MkII, but doesn’t discuss 7D compatibility at all — too new to have been tested perhaps.
I would hope that since the 7D has been built as an action camera, it would be capable of using the newest CF card technology.
calm down Gusto and dont be disgusto, it is just a camera!!!
just wondering if anyone has an estimate to the cost of the 7d for best buy. my sister works there and i can get it for 5% above. anyone know what the 5d markII is also.
SO… update! Did this rumor pan out? Are there people in Toronto that have the camera already?
And on what are you basing your own judgement Gusto ? … nothing.
You are a joke.
Canonrumors is home of rumors months in advance, but the admins are always slow on posting 0 day stuff. For example, there was nothing about the 7D until the 2nd!
Yes. There are people posting pics etc on DPR right now.
The following thread compares the 5D2 against 7D… Up to ISO 3200 they are comparable, but the 5D2 takes over at ISO 6400. Not unexpected.
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1019&thread=33154880
Mine will ship Monday from Toronto… I guess 3 days so not before Thursday in my hand.
I’m sure the 7D will. Can’t see why… after all it’s a xD camera.

Can I also give you some lessons Lindsay? Please… and I wouldn’t mind if Mr nightman also come with us, I like groups actually.
Every thing seems to be happening in Toronto, if you dont live there, you better not exist or else how would you get a 7D?! all the inhabitants of the other cities of the globe will go to the highest building in their city and throw themselves from the top floor, while Toronto not even noticing what’s going on around it in the rest of the universe. Had there been no Toronto (or no 7D for that matter), there wouldn’t have been a universe.

Nice comparison…looks like the 7D is going to be very, very good.
I am happy to see the (apparent) improvement in ISO, AF etc…and I am looking forward to what will trickle down to the 60D.
Asked Rob Galbraith via email and he confirmed that 7D does support UDMA 6
Did you look on Best Buy’s website? It’s been saying $1700 since the camera was announced.
man, the camera is being released officialy in october… chill out
Hmmm……….am I the only one who smell the smoke of jealousy here…lol.
Kool down and suck it up mate..!!
no not the retail price. an estimate of best buys cost that they pay for it, since i can get it for 5% above that.
YOU NEED TO WATCH YOUR CHARGE CARD FOR THE $1699 HIT…
Amazon.com just charged my card tonight, so I expect to see my Canon 7D on Tuesday this week.
Very good call. I’ve had pre-orders from Amazon arrive before I got an email that they’ve been sent. I checked my account; no charge yet so no 7D for me quite yet. :( Glad yours is on the way.
When did you order yours from Amazon?
The Day after it was announced. I just got my UPS Tracking number from them at 12:18pm EDT today. It will be here tomorrow.
What shipping did you get on this? I ordered mine 12:05 am day that it was released and haven’t gotten anything yet. I selected the 2-day shipping.
Scott,
Likewise with me….however, it was 9:03 PM PST. I just called Amazon and he mentioned Oct 20 approx ship date….WTF?
Amazon continues to piss people off with their conservative approach on informing the consumer. It was like this on prior camera launches, the Wii, the Xbox 360, and a magnitude of other product releases…. I find it hard to believe that they can’t provide more incite to the customer base that are following their 7D order and completely clueless as to when it has a likelihood to ship. Riddle me how Best Buy has the ability to give an estimate that their camera will arrive between 10/10-10/19, yet Amazon continues to claim they aren’t being informed enough to provide an accurate shipment date. These companies specialize in logistics/supply chains and even if some part of that link is dependent on outside forces, they make it their business to stay informed internally on when a product will arrive. ..Time is money…I smell BS.
Did you order the kit, or the body only?
good questions. I have found Amazon reliable and delivers promptly.
I wonder if Canon is distributing more kits than bodies early-on to develop a broader customer base. On the other hand, those wanting only a body are already part of the customer base and it seems like a good idea to keep your current customers happy. Either way the delivery schedule for bodies versus kits is likely well known by everyone except the customer. Supply and demand at work?
To answer a few questions here: I’m a Prime Member & and a 75K customer which may put me up in the list for getting items from them…Maybe? I don’t think that it matters at all, but it could. My 50D came from them also before anyone else had it in stock too. Also now that its mention above, I did get 2 wii systems from Amazon when it was sold out everywhere last December.
I also just checked with UPS on the Tracking number, and the package is listed with a delivery date of 9-29-09. It’s in Philadelphia, PA. right now, I want to drive over and get it right NOW!!! :-) Can’t wait to get it.

AVAILABILITY UPDATE FROM CANON…
Camera marketing representative at Canon USA, indicates that units of the new Canon EOS 7D digital SLR will begin to ship from Canon distribution centers to retailers in the first part of next week (September 28th!). Factor in the logistics of shipping caseloads of cameras to a long list of dealers, and the Canon 7D should be in the hands of a decent quantity of pre-order customers in numerous U.S. states and Canadian provinces by the end of next week.
My Canon 7D Body Only Just arrived from Amazon.com via UPS. I’m very happy now today.
P.S. I was in a local Mall here in South Jersey today, and the Ritz Camera Store had 20!!!! in stock. I would have bought one right away, but I had mine on the way too, plus why would I want to pay 7 percent tax on something else.

My 7D Just arrived from Amazon.com via UPS. I’m very happy now today.
Also you should know I was in a local Mall here in South Jersey today, and the Ritz Camera Store had 20!!!! in stock. I would have bought one right away, but I had mine on the way from Amazon.com already!
Now what’s really funny is, i walk right out of the store and call them at that exact Ritz Store! I’m told on the phone there is NONE in stock at all until the end of October into November. Sounds fishy to you? Here is what i was told when I confronted them while I was still on the phone walking back into the store. “The 7D’s they have arre ONLY for the walk in customers, period!” I felt like I was an undercover 6ABC News Reporter or something. I think the Manager almost pooped himself when he saw me walk in holding and talking on the phone to him. I wish i had a film crew with me to catch the look on his face!
17th Street Photo has the 7D BODY – IN STOCK!!!! as of 3:10pm EDT 9/29/09
They are a Canon Dealer. I personally have spent a small fortune from them, and they are TOP NOTCH!!!
LINK to Buy right now:

Well…I got tired waiting on a definite ETA from Amazon. Cancelled my order and picked one up at a local camera store in Newport Beach, CA. Now I’m sitting here at work…7D in hand…and no lens!! DOH!
Wow, so tempting to go hunting at local camera stores for one. ScottG, Did you order the kit or body only? I pre-ordered a kit late night August 31st. I hope to get that confirmation email soon. Patience grasshopper.
Oops, you did order a body. Silly me.
Yes, the BODY only.
You should expect to just see the Body 7D’s way before you see the Kits Come out. Why? Canon had seen a great number of the 50D Kits last year where thousands of the lenses from the Kits all showed up on EBay. I’m just as much to blame for that too, as I did the same. The 7D is not really a camera for the average user, so Canon Marketing looks at selling to the installed base of semipros & pros that already have a stock of lenses built up.
P.S. 17th Street Photo has the 7D in stock right now for the 1699.99 price + 8.00 Ground UPS Shipping from NYC. B&H who I also buy from heavily is looking at 2 weeks, and mostly there messed up from the Jewish holiday being closed.
I feel nerdy and I have to confess, I went and bought a second one tonight, because now that I have it in my hands I really need a second one. I’m trying not to be a pig about it, but compared to my new 1D MarkIII at 11 fps, the 7D just blows it out of the water in quality.
That’s 18.00 Ground UPS. It’s after hours so I don’t expect to hear from 17th Street until tomorrow. If it works out I’ll cancel my Amazon order and get a lens separately.
Sorry, Right the Ground Shipping is based on your location and mine was 8.00.
NYC to South Jersey Ground is only 8.00, and it arrives in 1 day, so I’m kinda lucky that way in the location to NYC. Also as most know, NY to NJ has no tax at all which is another reason to buy online saves me 119.00 on the price. I know the gov is working on a way to stop all that from happening, but until then lets just enjoy it.
Ordered mine from Amazon an hour after it was announced and mine is in the air. Should arrive tomorrow.
The page on Amazon still shows that it’s available for pre-order but not in stock yet. I guess this means they don’t actually have enough units to even cover the pre-orders. Glad I ordered when I did.
i called circuit city today. they received the 7d’s and are shipping out tomorrow. i should get mine next week yes!
