Re: Where to preorder EOS R8 ? (Canada)

Hi

not sure why your asking the question

My question was more about trust and feedback from different source (canon website, instore)
It was more about how to get my R8 ideally in the first batch and what was experience from buyer for different type if store.

the answer should be ANY AUTHORIZED DEALER that has in stock.

Being "in stock" can be understood in many fancy way depending on who you are dealing with.

I do not count how many time an "in stock" item was just cancelled, having no consideration for the customer.

Some will tells you an item is "in stock", and will delay your order from months keeping you hostage, even if the item is available elsewhere.

First store were very honest : 24 preorder for the R8 (for every store), and they told me last time with the R7 they only received 2 units in this specific store ... So they told me I will surely have it on the second or maybe third batch.

On the second store, I was the first in line, so I'll be the first to receive it.

We will see.
