Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to Start Shipping Tomorrow

[LoneRider]

I've cancelled my order from Amazon.

I bought locally

Playing with the camera right now actually. So, I could have save $200 by going with another option, but the local guys seem to want to add in service. So far so good.

I was just on Chat with Amazon support and they said my camera was shipping out tonight.

"Okay so i have made checks to the product database for your item and i am seeing where the item is to be shipped out tonight as they are now in the fulfillment center, So by morning you will get a email with the tracking number and delivery date. So no need to worry as i personally took care of this for you today. "

Interesting, when I was chatting with Amazon today around 11am CST, they could not do squat for me on my order. Had no idea when or if I would ever get a flipping camera.

Amazon is likely also going to lose my followup lens purchases. Before the end of the year I will likely get a 16-35/F4 from Canon and a 20mm F1.4 from Sigma. I know, not high, high dollar, but I will likely go local again.

I don't want to sound like I am one of those people that is just plain old discontent. Today was actually a great day, I think I will get value from the local dealer, and it will be good to support him. But I also had a great experience at the motorcycle shop on the way home.

Adorama emailed shipping confirmation around 2pm PST today. UPS doesn't track the package yet though

Ordered around midnight PST on the first day.

Yeah, it's strange that Amazon is not updating people better. I just check my Amazon order statues and it's still saying the same delivery estimate message "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."

I was about to run to Best Buy and pick one up because I didn't think Amazon was going to ship today.

I gave up on Amazon and went to Best Buy. Got a new credit card, $400 in Best Buy credit and the camera tonight. Coming from a 6D, it feels like a great upgrade. Probably know in a few days.

I just gave up and canceled my amazon pre-order. I am going into Best Buy tomorrow. Is the Protection Plan worth getting with this camera? $299 for three years... I have insurance on all of my gear so I suppose I should just let that cover the camera if needed? Was anybody successful in getting a price match for the $200 gift card amazon was suppose to give you for pre-ordering the camera?

I am coming from a 7D, and so far the step up is AMAZING.

The attached photo is at ISO5000, with my 100-400 and 1.4X converter wide open (F8) at 1/250th handheld, with a very small bit of work in LR.

That was the first combination I tried also. I wanted to see the autofocus work with the 1.4x and 100-400. I connected the camera to my ipad and the images look good. Will take a closer look tomorrow.

That is one blurry picture of the moon.

I thought it was just me..

Not perfect for sure, but ISO5000, I am used to getting nervous at ISO640. I was being purposefully hard on the camera.

It is going to take a while to get used to seeing ISO1000+ as being normal.

And gosh, the shutter sounds soo much better than the 7D. The silent option is pretty darn quiet and pleasant sounding.

I am pretty impressed.

I just tried the chat with Amazon and they couldn't tell me diddly-squat. Just kept telling me what the information is on the website and when i pushed to check on inventory told me he had no access to the product system....

So I am guessing it depends on who you talk to. I usually have good luck with Amazon and do a LOT of business with them. Agree, they have totally lost the ball on this one and I think the $200 must have been a "mea culpa" to try to head off losing everyone.

 

[RunAndGun]

Whenever I've done moon shots before, they've usually been with live view. And heck, there should be no reason in the world, besides someone just "wanting to", to shoot the moon at 5000ISO. Not being rude, but I agree, there's nothing in focus in that pic.

They were working late at B&H tonight!

Email with tracking number that mine shipped... came at 7:26 PM (EDT). Friday delivery here we come! ;D

Thank you B&H!

Don't get any protection plans. Use credit card which gives another year extended warranty.

 

[jcr]

Anyone canceling pre orders on amazon Bestbuy will price match the $200 in my case they took $200 off the total purchase I also got them to match a free memory card deal 64GB 160mbs & give me a discount on a grip ;D

Interesting...I ordered on Aug. 25; at least someone on the chat gave you some information--and didn't just read you the web page.
