Official pre-order / ship time thread

Just returned my GH1, and ordered 7D from Adorama & J&R. Whoever ships first wins! :)
 
I had the GH1 for about a week, so I shot some tests. And before someone asks, no I wasn't whipping the camera around to test for mud. However, even when the camera was locked down, the codec / compression was just ugly. I've downloaded the numerous 7D clips that are straight out of the camera and they are so much cleaner! Plus native 24P, no pulldown issues to deal with. Not to mention I have a few Canon lenses already.
 
All right. Yeah, I was just curious. In the end, I couldn't decide between the GH1 and the 7D myself, so I just ordered them both! I think that I'll use the 7D primarily, with the GH1 as a back-up and for things (like AF) that the 7D can't do. I like to think that they're perfect complements for each other...

C930-1688 is the item number for the 7D.

My phone rep couldn't find it until I gave him the item number. Then he said they had 100 pre-orders already in, and couldn't put me on that list. He also said the delivery truck would arrive this afternoon, (today is Tuesday Sep 8) and that he thinks the cameras will be shipping out Thursday.

HE ALSO said he showed 400 units arriving on this truck. So, even though he couldn't put me on the list to ship Thursday, he said I could just go on their site Thursday and order it, and it would be the same speed, because all Thursday boxes will ship that afternoon.

YIPPEE! :D :D
 
I'm still a bit hesitant to get excited about that possibility (especially considering I have a baby due via c-section on the 18th and would LOVE to have the 7D in hand by then...) of it shipping this week, but I also have little reason to doubt TD as they have always been right on when it comes to ship times for me.

I'm cautiously optimistic.
 
I got on Adorama's pre-order but I am actually not expecting to see it that soon, it would be great but I am not getting my hopes up yet.

Talked to J and R this morning, they had no information on when they will have units to ship. The rep also had no info on how many orders were made and how many units they expected to receive but she said I should not be backordered. She said to call back in 5-7 days.
 
Just called Adorama today and they had no idea of a ship time for the 7D...anyone else have any luck getting information from them?
 
Yeah, I also dont thing TD will be getting it out on Thursday. Not according to any of the "official" release dates anyone's heard. I think that guy may just be misinformed.
 
Yeah the whole Thursday thing sounds a little nuts....But I'd be very happy if the 21st is the release date, and I'll cross my fingers that Adorama is getting a large shipment to compete with B&H.
 
robmneilson,

I spoke to Adorama on the 2nd and the girl told me that although she doesn't like giving out the release dates they're given because they're not always accurate - she said Oct 9th was what they had in their system.

Maybe its changed since then, but that was the last bit of information I got.

Thanks Hunter...I heard the 9th was the release date for Amazon as well so that seems logical. I'll still be crossing my fingers and going to Tiger Direct Thursday morning waiting for a miracle.

How am I playing them? They're just quicktimes, so no magic there.

I can't get a smooth playback on my Duo Core 2.40 GHz machine in QT 7.5. It's got me a little spooked...

There's some magic I'm missing somewhere. You on a blazing machine or something?
