Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to Start Shipping Tomorrow

B&H via chat just said that my order was set to ship out today for delivery tomorrow as well.

I ordered 8/25 6:20am/et - Body Only.

Guess their shipment from Canon arrived earlier than expected!

Fingers crossed. Good luck everyone.

Just had a chat with Amazon, and considering they have one of the best inventory systems on the face of the planet, they appear to have royally dropped the ball on this pre-release.

I would think Amazon would have an accurate relationship with Canon sales, but obviously they don't. My trust in Amazon just dropped A LOT.

Maybe they know it and that's why they're offering the $200 gift certificate. ???

That's pretty much the only reason I'll probably keep my pre-order with them... Fortunately I don't need the camera right now.. just really want it right now!

So, there is one available 5.6 miles from me. Is it worth the $200. It could be months.

In the modern day of inventory systems, either Canon is that dark ages, or Amazon as a retailer has no standing with Canon. A manufacturer should know exactly where each shipment for the next month is going, heck in 2000 Audi could tell me to the hour when my 2001 TT Roadster was going to be built when I pre-ordered it. That was 16 flipping years ago, and Audi had their build schedule outlined 4 months out. To the flipping hour.

And Canon can't, or won't tell Amazon when they will get a pallet. Something is messed up here.

Amazon now says "Temporarily Out of Stock" for Body only and has 3 in stock for 24-70 Kit. So they did receive some looks like.

No, Amazon is out of stock regarding that kit as well. The "3 in stock" is through a third-party vendor (TheImagingWorld) and does not include Prime shipping (although it does say free shipping). I checked and they are an authorized reseller. Just be warned that this kit is not discounted. The camera plus that lens are at full retail. You'd be better off buying the camera at full retail, then shopping for the 24-70 lens elsewhere (like refurbished from Canon's website).

You are right. Sorry about that. It seems like they are Authorized dealer.
