Adorama is now showing an expected arrival date of October 20, 2020, for the Canon EOS R5. I do know there is still a long backorder lineup, but it's expected that they'll get enough to clear the backlog.
What's another month? :)

They're available at Best Buy with the cheaper kit lens. Not available as the body only.
Yeah I bet B&H doesn't ship ours either. Those emails are just to string along preorders and prevent cancellation. No other reason why they waited for the Sept. 16 ship date to tell us their shipment never arrived the week before. I'm just trying to pretend I never ordered the damn thing. I'll be relieved rather than excited if it ever ships.
Me either.. Conversations recently with corporate led me to believe that if you didn’t get “the mail” you’re good for September...
Chickens refuse to be counted.
I was dumb enough to pre-order the 100-500L too, so I can’t complain about compounded stupidity. It’ll be here when it gets here.
Can’t go outside because of the smoke right now anyway.
Demand for the R6 is a trickle.
Demand for the R5 is a flood.
Seeing as how in the US it is basically the same price as the 5D4 was at launch I’m of the opinion it’s a bargain.
$3499 in 2016 = $3790 today. I paid less for my R5 than I did my 5D4.
What competition are you comparing the R5 to? Curious what you consider to be in the same class.
There have been launch SNAFUs greater than or equal to this in the past.
Despite the delay my excitement level is the highest it has ever been over a camera purchase... The only event that came close was when I bought my 5D4 to go with my 7D2. It was my first FF and I was really wound up about it.
This is driving me bananas.
