Yeah I didn’t know what the 200$ off thing was, figured it was a promo I missed. I guess it won’t hurt to mention it in my email though. I’m a noob here, stumbled across the forum while searching for “Canon R5 shipping” on google. It seems like a lot of other people ordered from BH and got theirs, only thing I don’t know is if they ordered body only or with the lens.
I called Canon again on Oct. 12. My order was messed up internally and I had to cancel the July 9 pre-order and place a new order. The new order was placed at the end of the line. My wait continues. Very disappointed in the Canon USA store. I ordered body only.
The $200 off was for those who had signed up for the Kelby training course or some such thing. The code was shared and several were able to use it before it expired a few weeks ago. I was one who ordered using it on 9/15 and my camera arrived 2 weeks later. Apparently it may have given a unintended priority because there have been some who say they are still waiting.
Same here! I chatted with someone this morning with B&H and they said they're expecting Nov 2nd, I also called and requested a callback and that person said Oct 28. But now order shows "In Progress" and my CC has a pending charge.
Likely anybody ordering an R5 has received some pretty badly handled gear along the way. I'm convinced at this point that paying for the overnight results in a better level of handling.
