Re: Those who Pre-ordered the R5 only. Back ordered or Shipping?

I preordered from Adorama, maybe 4-5 hours after pre-orders started. I ordered the R5 along with 2 CFExpress cards. The R5 has been marked as Backordered, of course, and the cards have been marked Awaiting Items.
Just now I checked my bank, and I've been charged for the amount of the 2 cards, but not the R5. The status at Adorama hasn't changed (Backordered R5, and Awaiting Items for the cards). But that's interesting, anyway... either they're going to randomly send the cards right now and keep waiting for the camera, or... *fingers crossed*
I hope your camera shipped with the cards. I bought from Adorama just the R5 body and nothing else. My purchase was July 9 judy at 4 hours after the start (9AM PDT almost to the minute) so we are about at the same place in line I suppose which may mean my camera is also about the ship if yours was. I have not checked my account. I will wait for a confirmation email from Adorama some time tomorrow morning.
Thanks, but as of this morning, the status still shows backordered for the camera, and awaiting items for the memory cards. The charge for $399.98 (which is the exact cost of the 2 cards) is still showing Pending on the bank, but no charge for the amount of the camera.
So I figure either they're going to go ahead and ship the cards, or maybe they're anticipating arrival of another batch of the cameras. Doesn't make sense to me to charge for just the cards if they're not going to send them separately, though :/
