Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to Start Shipping Tomorrow

Canon Price Watch is now reporting the following:

"UPDATE: We’re now hearing that dealers are receiving the cameras too late to ship them out on the 7th;
the effective ship-out date will be the 8th. We’ve updated this post.
"

I'm fine with them shipping it tomorrow and getting it on Friday... the rumors that they'll ship next week though scares me.

Yeah, and the B&H Body Only product page now says: "Ship Time: Not available"

I wonder where are people seeing the "tracking is pending part"? In your account on the (web) order?

My order went in 15 minutes after it went live, and all I see is the "New Order Processing" part.

Under My Account select Track Order. In the tracking number column it will say "Pending..." if it has changed.

Calumet in Germany changed Canon 5d MkIV status and the delivery postponed one week later

Not sure what Calumet is doing, but my order from AC-Foto has been packed late yesterday and is being shipped out today with DHL Express. I'll have it by tomorrow before noon. They also currently still have more 5D4 in stock, available immediately ("sofort lieferbar").

Canon shop in Germany changed availability from "delivered by 8.9.2016" to "estimated delivery date 14.09.2016" a couple of days ago. I suppose they just ran out of units to process more orders in the first wave.
I assume Calumet changed their date because they also allotted all the received units to existing preorders and now they're listing the delivery date for the second wave, as per Canon shop info.

tl;dr: my camera is on it's way, the 5D4 has not been generally delayed for a week

Audiophil-Foto, the "officially a completely different company" shop that is located on the same address as ac-foto has a photo of a stack of boxes on their front page. I think I might stop by in the next days to have a look.

According to the Best Buy website inventory, a few locations around NYC currently (8:17 AM EST) have them in stock. Local pick-up might be an option if you need one asap.

Canon Store is also showing stock at this time.

I also saw that Unique Photo, based out of NJ has them in stock at this time. Shipping to any location out of NJ will save you sales tax. Shipping is free but no mention if the free shipping "expedited" or "express".

Looks like perhaps B&H only got the kit in stock so far? Has anyone had a body only ship?

Perhaps those are delayed until Monday as originally thought? Or their initial shipment was so limited that they're getting more in Monday?

There are 2 or 3 BestBuy stores in the DFW (North Texas) area that show stock. Gosh darn it, I wish Amazon would tell me something other than they need a few more moments to figure it out. Terrible wording, they've been needing a "little" more time for far too long. Their definition of a little more time is A LOT different than mine.

I just got a response from Amazon from my email asking about my order status (placed 8/25 5:52am EST) and this is part of their reply:

" I just checked and it appears that we will not be receiving any until October now, so they won't ship out until the middle of that month. I know it is over a month from now, so please let us know if you decide you want to cancel."

:(

I'm hoping they are being VERY conservative or just wrong!

No shipping as per Amazon this AM but the day isn't over yet. I called about the $200 credit when buying a 5DMK4 and they told me it was only for orders after 1 September, advised me to cancel my pre-order and re-order which I did. Probably at the end of the list now for a camera, ho-hum....

That doesn't make since it's a pre order they have to give you any benefits listed I did mine the first day it was announced I called to make sure and the rep told me I would get the $200 credit after 30 days of receiving the Mark IV.

If you don't like the first response call a second time and ALWAYS ask for e-mail regarding the conversion amazon will honor anything a rep emails.
Got back to Amazon and they apologized up and down, claim my new order has been given the same priority as the one originally placed but still no shipping going on and now their site says sold out.

Update... B&H shipping my 5DIV (Body Only) today?!

Chat transcript below. (I pre-ordered mine at 12:06 AM on the 25th)


Opening Question: Ship date? 5D mark IV (body only)

Koby W: Hello Jason, my name is Koby W and I'm looking forward to helping you today!

Koby W: We have received your order in our system and everything looks great on our end. Your order is currently set to ship later today. As soon as it does ship, you will receive an email with tracking information.

Me: Thank you. So the item is currently in stock?

Koby W: For your order, yes.

I ordered around the same time as you and just got the same answer, so tomorrow is looking good. I tried to get the chat person to tell me if the switch to "New order processing" was confirmation that the item would ship today for anyone else checking, but he wouldn't (or couldn't, the response was unclear, though I certainly don't blame him either way) give me an answer. The good news is at least we can now individually check if it will ship instead of just waiting for a shipping notice.

Just got off the phone with B&H Photo, and my 5D MIV Body will ship out later today. I order at 12:05 AM. He said camera body's was in the wear house now and going through the process. He didn't say how many they got in stock, but they do have them in the wear house today.
