Canon Rumors are suggesting a multi-month delay for backorders.

$4000 cameras normally do not sell in large quantities. It appears Canon under estimated the demand.

I don't think this means the next shipment will be months away. I doubt they shutdown factories or stopped production. I think it means if you waited to order you will have to wait a while to get one.

I thought I was one of the first to pre-order, but I didn't make this first round. I happened to luck out with a local store that just opened (that's right a new camera store opened during the pandemic!) who received an extra R5.

I'm still waiting on an update on my late first day/day two Amazon (Canon Store) order, but if Canon Rumors is right, it will be a Christmas gift to myself with a November second batch shipping date.
