That was fast. My pre-order for the 100, placed the first day, took two months to ship.they probably dont have any. took me a month to get the 100mm after release date even though i pre-ordered.
yes but can you crop it?The arguments are raging whether the R3 is superior to the R5. Here is the answer that the unavailability of the R3 proves it is superior:
Proof that the unavailable R3 is far superior to the available R5
Advantages of the unavailable R3
Rolling shutter – non-existent
Overheating – No
Battery life – indefinite
Shutter life – infinite
Weatherproof – 100%
Need expensive CFExpress cards – No
Need expensive lenses – No
Sales tax – zero
Price gouging in UK – No
File size – zero
Weight – zero
Size – zero
No need to crop - I missed that plus point.yes but can you crop it?
Weird...I got mine from the Canon site directly and pre-ordered the day before release. It shipped immediately.That was fast. My pre-order for the 100, placed the first day, took two months to ship.
Congratulations. My order was through B&H, one of many merchants that has to compete with their own supplier for product availability, in this case Canon, who in their infinite wisdom, decides to short change the very vendor trying to merchandise their products, in favor of maximizing profits. I am not picking on you. After waiting for months for B&H to acquire inventory on RF100-500, I watched this lens come and go three different times at Canon's store, all the while being notified by B&H numerous times every other week, they still had none to sell; so receiving CPW notice that Canon Store, once again had in stock, I purchased it directly, which cost me an add'l $216 in sales tax + a shipping fee for the privilege of having it right now. Then, in typical Canon fashion, even though their store shows it in stock, you order it, you're given an order confirmation, you then better say the right prayer that you actually get it due to Canon's very poor inventory control procedures. Even though I did receive the lens five days later, you, unfortunately cannot rely on their order process. I, currently have an EF-RF adapter order placed 3 weeks ago through Canon store, shown at time of order as in "stock", confirmed as in stock but then mysteriously, never shipped. In spite of showing "in stock", it never shipped and appears it's somewhere out there in Canon Limbo Land. When I didn't receive the adapter timely, I checked their site for my order number and saw they subsequently changed my in stock order to backordered. Who knows, if and when I might receive it or whether it might even be sold to someone else in the meantime? I have never had that problem with B&H, Adorama or other authorized vendors, when a product was shown as available. Puts a bad taste in your mouth for ordering direct.Weird...I got mine from the Canon site directly and pre-ordered the day before release. It shipped immediately.
Put your M with adapter behind your 600mm 4L IS IIDamn you Canon! I sold all my Sony gear and ordered the R3 and 100-400 expecting them to show up soon. Now what am I supposed to to?!?
It’s never yet failed. Even during this economic crisis.It will be interesting to see if placing pre-orders in the first half hour did any good.
Yeah, totally get it. I was surprised that they had it and even more surprised that it shipped right away.Congratulations.
