Official pre-order / ship time thread

how come when i search on tiger direct it says no matches. and when i called yesterday the guy working there says he has no idea what the 7d was? is there like a secret way to go about ordering one?
 
Tider Direct...Ordered yesterday 3pm.Couldnt pass up the bing rebate ;) All Backordered - These items are currently on backorder, and will ship as soon as we receive stock on them. ( We are currently doing a physical inventory. Your order may temporarily show on backorder. Please allow 48 hours for your status to update. )

Amazon ordered 7 am yesterday.....

Items not yet shipped:

We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time.
 
ordered on adorama..
Can't freaking wait, at this price it's really a no brainer.
 
Yeah PaPa! Teach me how to color grade with this mother.

You keeping your A1 too? I think I'll hold onto my A1/Letus Elite combo as backup/another option in the arsenal.
 
I think i will hold on to my A1 for event and corporate stuff. But i will most definitely sell my adapter and stuff. The question now is what to do to record audio, and how to use my nikon lenses on this new sucker. I will also need to buy an external monitor for focusing and exposure, and maybe something with a histogram. Going to miss having zebras, but going to love going tapeless.

Hopefully we will be able to turn off AGC. If so, the juicedlink adapter would be a GREAT option. If not, Zoom H4N is probably the cheapest good option for field recording.
 
I did an individual post about this, but just in case you're looking to pre-order and miss my post, you can get 5% cash back right now from j & r:

Well it sure as hell doesn't compare to the 15% or 20% cash back pre-orders yesterday, but if you're looking to pre-order one still, do this:

go to bing.com and type in adorama

click the store page with the cashback symbol

type in gh1 (yes, gh1)

then click the icon for the gh1

then click the link for j & r

pre-order the 7d and anything else your heart desires

done and done

now sit at home and wank it for the next month or so in anticipation

FYI, Circuit City.com IS Tigerdirect, so I would assume the same thing that the TD rep told me would apply to CC.com orders as well. They also bought compusa.com when compusa went under

(Scratch that...ordered at 4pm, but got a confirmation before they locked their orders) Purchased the kit version for 1614 :) (15% cashback). But since circuit city has a different status for their items than TD...i can only assume that I am on their backorder and hopefully grab one of the 1st shipments . I still have my amazon preorder of Sept 31 to fall back on if my order will truly ship on 01/10 from CC...

*Update (have to do credit card verification -_-..) I can also confirm that they(TD,CC,CUSA) have 5x the amount of 7d's compared to the preorders. They gave me a new date for shipment which is Sept 15.

I've been using Nikon lenses no problem on my Canon 30D (the great grandfather to the 7D).

I bought 2 adapters from eBay user "buyitjnow" and will soon be buying more. They ship from China, so it takes some time. I had to put a piece of gaff tape between the lens and the adapter to prevent slipping, and I recommend getting each lens its own adapter.

Hi all,

Pre-ordered from Calumet in Berlin. The rep told me that they haven't had too many pre-orders yet so I'll be in the first batch. Even though the camera is supposed to ship in the beginning of October, he said that realistically it will be available in mid-October. This is going to be a long and painful wait... :D
 
Just snagged my pre-order from AVAlive.com. $1675 body only and free shipping! They are a great company to work with. I ordered my Panasonic AG-HMC150 from them last year and was very happy with their customer service.
