These are the official ship dates for the recently announced Canon cameras and lenses

Chaitanya · Sep 6, 2019

Shiping date for 90D in India also around 12 Sept. Will be getting mine in around a weeks time.

AlanF · Sep 6, 2019

My dealer has promised me a 90D next week. Wait for the first real “hands on”.

SteveC · Sep 6, 2019

I wonder if Canon reps have early models of these to show off?

It's a pity that the M6 went ship until later in the month. My busiest month of the year is September and I'll be missing out on many chances to really push this camera.:-(

Yes, I REALLY want to see some real world users opinions

It ships on day 3 of my vacation abroad

Hi Folks.
It is a fact of life and statistics that whenever it was released would be the month after someone’s busiest time or the third day of someone’s vacation, it is just how it is.
It is also a week before Mr X’s vacation so he has time to learn it a little (or unpack it, put the battery on charge and switch it to [ ]

) about which he is pleased but not commenting!

Cheers, Graham.

My local brick&mortar had a Canon rep visiting and introducing the new bodies this Monday, but they won’t have their own copies available before 12 Sep or so.

Dang, M6 may or may not arrive before I leave for vacation on 9/28...

SteveC · Sep 9, 2019

I did get to handle an M6-II. The rep said there were maybe twelve of them in the entire country. I treated it very gingerly.

I was not allowed to put a card in.

There was also a 90D there but I'm not really in the market for one.

I just got an email from the store saying that their distributor is saying that the M6II is on its way to their store. If that's true I might be getting it before I leave for vacation on the 23rd.

I was told yesterday by Canon reps it would leave their warehouse on the 28th. So we're hearing two different stories here.

Right, that’s why I’m not getting my hopes up too much, I’ll believe it when I have the camera in my hands

padrepaul · Sep 9, 2019

Will be curious when it actually ships too as BH says on their site Sept 12th, but I also saw on Adorama they have no date and when I asked I got the standard script "it is in high demand and unfortunately we do not have a ship date yet and can't speculate." Would be nice to know if that means it ships from Canon and gets to the retailer a week later than to the consumer after that.

Also, how far away is the warehouse?

seven letters:

damfino.

I should emphasize, that's the M6 II. The 90D is supposed to leave their warehouse this week.

Yeah, I have had everything from ordering from a local supplier and it gets shipped from Japan (by ship), to ordering from a company 3000 Kilometers away in a different country and having it show up at the door two hours later.

In this case, it is (hopefully) from the Canon USA warehouse and not from one beside the factory in Japan.

SteveC · Sep 10, 2019

I'm probably going to wait for Black Friday, personally...there's still an outside chance of an M5 II, and if it isn't announced before then--it ain't coming out until March at the earliest. Meanwhile, I should be able to play with the M6 II and viewfinder.

(Now if Canon would come out with a viewfinder with a hot shoe on top, a lot of people's complaints would vanish.)

Personally I want the flippy screen more than the viewfinder...though I note the M5 (no mark number) didn't have one either.

SecureGSM · Sep 10, 2019

Nuh, I would rather two hot shoes side by side : top left and top right, approx. 6cm gap in between them.
I seriously don’t understand how Canon didn’t think about the second hot shoe.
Could be useful for lefties as well.
