Share R5 delivery experience

Hallelujah!! B&H changed my R5 to Processing this morning! The extra battery is still back ordered. I ordered the camera 58 min after the order page was opened. Hope it arrives in the next few days so I can practice with it before we leave to photograph bears in Alaska in 2 wks

So maybe there is hope for me later. They seem to be updating as they get bodies in from Canon. I guess I will keep hitting reload much of the day.

Ordered the R5 and the grip at 10:20AM on the 9th. I’ve been charged for the grip and status has changed to “order in progress,” R5 still showing backordered.
Now I’ll have a grip and adapter but no camera.

That's not what people mean when they say "Get a grip!".

I think that maybe one of the levels of Hell

I hope you do not have to wait too long

I ordered around the same time and am in exactly the same boat. At least we will have plenty of battery life--except we won't have any batteries either (at least not new ones).

Only if you also have to read stupid Sony trolls nattering on about how bad the camera is, at the same time.

For those whose BH order status has changed and payment charges, what time did you order on July 9th?

I ordered about 9 minutes after it went live. So at 7:09am Central time. Mine also went to processing and it charged my Payboo card (what a terrible name for a card haha) this morning.

Just got "The Call" Camera ready for pick up tomorrow at noon. I am off all next week (Suppose to be at an Airshow, but that is a....) still going to test the hell out of the Camera and will report back.

 

[Jemlnlx]

I ordered mine just before 11 am EST... no charges or changes on the order yet...

 

[SteveC]

My brick and mortar store called me.

It's in and ready to be picked up...as soon as they are allowed to, which is at opening tomorrow. Which means I'll likely be busting the door down at 10:00:01 MDT.

Called Adorama to inquire about my order. I ordered the R5, 100-500, and 800 f/11. Wanted to make clear that I wanted the camera now. They informed me that with those instructions, a partial order would go out either today or tomorrow.

Accordingly, Adorama just posted a mindboggling large bill to my CC account. Hopefully, the 100-500 amount will disappear shortly.

Oh, I probably placed my order around 8:10am 7-9. Maybe a couple of minutes earlier. Not sure why I did not place it sooner.

My B&H order was similarly screwed up. They tell me it will ship Monday for delivery some time next week. I will cancel this order tomorrow. Hopefully it helps someone in the queue.

I thought that I knew how to play this game, but I wasn't aware that one should never put two different new products with different release dates on the same order. Fortunately, I had placed orders with two different vendors.

an air show would be a good test of EVF lag. I’d be interested in knowing if it can keep up with subjects moving across the field of view when panning

Yeah I want to know as well but everything is canceled (Airshows that is)

My R5 has shipped from B&H as well, for AM delivery tomorrow. Too excited.

I just got notice mine has shipped and will be delivered tomorrow. I have also received notice/ tracking number from FedEx that it will be delivered tomorrow.

Ordered from Bedford's Camera about 2:00 pm on the 9th.

My favorite airshow is never cancelled. Hopefully my order will get here in time for the weekend.
