I ordered from Adorama as soon as the ordering went live. It was 5am on 7/9/20. I called Adorama today. Guy told me oh there are so many orders in front of you but don’t worry you will get yours on the second batch. I told him, “wow! I had my order in within a minute of the ordering going live” and he said, “well there are orders dating back to 7/7 and 7/8.”

I said how could this be possible as the ordering went live on 7/9. No response to this question just, “don’t worry you will have your camera very soon with the second batch.” Ahh ... yeah.

I was on the order page for both Adorama and BH hours before the launch and there was no ordering up yet.

I dallied for four hours before getting order placed at Adorama for my R.  I did spend two hours of the four listing to videos of Q&As tp be a well informed buyer from Canon and not just rumores.

I must be so far down the list that I will have to wait until Thanksgiving!  I still the EOS R that can learn a lot from.  The guy at Adorma said they might know next week when the new batch would come it.  At fours hours he could not assure me I would make the second batch or where I was in line.  So I learned nothing. I still I should have my R5 well before September.  We will see. Anyone who wants to cancel from Adorma you have my blessing.
