My order was placed in mid october at an Australian retailer and they don’t expect stock until early 2022. They haven’t had any estimates from canon but also told me previously a week ago they had received an email from canon advising a second email would be sent to advise on when stock would arrive. I think perhaps I harassed my local camera shop too much they’ve told me early 2022 to get me off their back, I am unsure. A few other Aussie retailers have estimates of Nov 30 on their website which coincides with another persons comment here. Patience my friends
I drove to the shop here in Denmark, and they had indeed gotten a few R3 cameras - all gone to the pre-order list, and they had no idea when they would get more, much to their (and my) frustration. I'm about 10% down their original pre-order list, and didn't get a camera.
The salesperson told me that they often only know a couple of days in advance what they will get, when they get an invoice from Canon Denmark.
Unfortunately, Canon are not alone in this game - he mentioned a Japanese printer brand where they had to tell a customer "we don't know when we'll get stock" only to receive 11 pieces the day after(!).
