[sephknite]

Good for you! Crutchfield may be the dark horse in the 1DX race. I placed a preorder today. We'll see...

Good luck to you and all the folks giving Crutchfield a shot. Man, I feel like such a promoter. ;D

I just spoke with another CSR. All she could tell me was that Canon has told them demand far exceeds expectations and they don't know when their next shipment will arrive

Give them another try today or tomorrow. Maybe a different customer rep that has more info and not the same one. That was the 1st business day after you ordered, so hopefully they'll get more info/stock soon.

Per my most recent communication with Crutchfield, they have no shipment update from Canon, but, "It looks like you may be in the top five orders." So I've possibly moved up 3+ spots in the queue in the last week.

Moonwell when did you place your order? I placed mine with Crutchfield on 7-11 in the afternoon and was told the same info..
You are approximately in the top 5... I wonder if that has become a guarded standard response.

Ordered late on 7/11. Was originally told there were 7 ahead of me when I inquired on the 12th.

That makes sense, it looks like there was 2 cameras shipped on the 13th, I am probably just above you. I hope they get in more than 2 cameras at a time. It is promising though as we are on a short list considering how late we both ordered.
I also placed an order about 4 weeks ago with Canoga camera but they will not give any info of where you are in the queue.

Crutchfield still has no shipment update from Canon. They currently have 21 orders in their queue.

Any luck elsewhere? Adorama, Amazon, BH, eBay?

Thanks to this post ( http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?topic=7847.msg148389#msg148389 ) I got my order placed and confirmed at www.tallyns.com. So, a lot of people will now be moving up a spot in the Amazon and Crutchfield queue Or cancel and order from Tally's to have one in your hands next week.
