My B&H preorder changed from "Backordered" to "Processing" sometime this evening. Hopefully this is a good sign.

When did you order? Was your card charged this evening as well?

 

[H. Jones]

My order status on B&H was changed to "Order in Progress" as well within the last few hours. I ordered at exactly 8:00:30 a.m. eastern time and I am far too excited for this!

My order email says 8:01am on July 9th, so my order time was somewhere between 8:00 and 8:01. Card hasn't been charged yet.

I keep hearing things like this. It's not that much of a delay, but August 3 is not July 30. I really wish we knew what was going on.

Why not just call?

I ordered at about 12:48 PM eastern time and still show back ordered. So we’ll see what happens! Might call some of my local stores to see what their wait list looks like

Damn, I remain back ordered. May not get it in time for my trip!

I figure it doesn't make much sense at this point. It will ship when it ships. I'll know in the next couple of days where I stand.

I called in my credit card for my pre order 58 min into the announcement video. I just checked my order at B&H and it still says Back Ordered--so sad

Status is processed. Unfortunately, the EF/RF adapter is still back ordered. So, I may get the body and not have a lens that I can mount.

I just got the email from Amazon saying that may R5 body is expected to arrive August 3rd now.

For reference, I submitted my order on July 9 at around 9:00am eastern time.

I cancelled my order due to Covid-19 becoming out of control here. I don't think I'd get much use out of the camera, and if I got sick, I'm pretty likely to get very sick.

Hopefully, I can order it later.

I have been informed that Canon are shipping cameras to dealers on the 29th ready for delivery to customers for the 30th , and that I can expect delivery of my camera this week , people who were quick off the mark pre-ordering should receive it this week , those that weren't will have to wait for the second shipment which will be in Aug/Sept , the whole shipment as far I have been told hasn't been put back to Aug/Sept , its just they won't have enough stock for everyone in the first shipment .

I have been on the "R5 list" at my local brick and mortar store since February. Got the invoice today, paid, and will pick up on Friday!!! Happy days

I anticipated this happening, so I bought the adapter about a month ago. In the reverse situation, have the adapter but no camera. I probably won’t have the camera until September since I didn’t place my preorder until about two hours after they began.

You were smarter than me. How much foresight did it require of Canon to realize that every R5/6 sale would also be an adapter sale and stock sufficient adapters at their warehouses?

There was a big B&H box in our courtyard today and I was just sure it had to be my new R5--turned out to be some earphone my husband had ordered
