getting your FS700 thread

I just asked my retailer again in Germany. Chances are low to get mine on monday...
Seems like only GB, AUS and NZL are getting supplied.
Sony, this is madness!
 
I am at the top of the pre order list at ZGC and they also heard rumors about getting units in soon, but they said it wouldnt likely be shipping until the week after next, which is fine, but its good to hear I may be getting it soon after that considering I'll be away most of next week anyway.
 
Apparently, Samys in Los Angeles has already shipped to some customers. Unfortunately, I have to order out of state to save on the sale tax, otherwise I would just get it from Samys.
 
I emailed B&H asking when to expect my preorder to be fulfilled since Sony said they are shipping the FS700. This was my reply...

HI Tony

Google "Usage Tax" & "California". I order most everything locally, much of it from Samy's.

It looks like 50i countries may be getting theirs first. My camera setup was set to 50i with 100fps as the default Super slomo-speed. Even though it is a universal camera, there are specific votage accessories in the kit that match all three countries you mention; We are all 220-240v. Usually us Down Underians are last in the delivery cycle. Smiling this time! :thumbsup:
 
AbelCine in Burbank has notified me that the camera is in. Wired them a silly amount od money and will pick up in the morning.
 
Absolutely love your enthusiasm in the unboxing video. But are you sure that isn't a "RED" that appears here?
 
I received my FS700 yesterday, but unfortunately I cannot use it until my Metabones adapter arrives either today or tomorrow. Metabones updated the firmware to V.05, which is the newest firmware, and the most compatible with the FS700. I can't wait until it arrives so i can get out and shoot something!
 
I'm getting mine in two weeks, I can get it even right now but I had to put it on hold, cause of some budget problems.
 
I put mine on hold with Abel NY and was told I was 6th in line in early may. Just called and they said they aren't getting a shipment until July, but saw on their twitter that it arrived on the 27th :/ Mentioned that to them and they are looking into what the problem is. I hope they didn't get the list mixed up. Really want to use it for a job on July 5th.

If anyone here decides they don't want to purchase the camera, let me know, I might just have to bite the bullet and purchase whatever is available first.
 
Credit card was charged and order at B&H says it's processing. Haven't received shipping confirmation yet though.
