I got this email yesterday.
I ordered from B&H on Thu 7/9/2020 8:29 AM Hope this helps someone.
Hello Scott,
Thank you for your email. We began accepting preorders for the Canon R5 on July 9th at 8am. Orders are being filled on a first come first served basis. The challenge for us has been the very small number of cameras that we have received from Canon.
And some hopefully good news… based on the date we received your order, and the current information we have received from Canon USA, we expect to be able to ship your order on or before September 10th, and possibly as early as late August. Please note that this information is based on current estimates provided by Canon and is subject to change.
Thank you again for choosing B&H. We apologize for this delay and any inconvenience this delay has caused you. Please let us know if you have any further questions at
[email protected]. This email goes directly to me so please reach out with any questions.
Congratulation on your R5 purchase – we’re confident you will be very happy with your amazing new system.
Rose B.
