7D shipping next week, Canon says ... at DVinfo.net

Shaun Walker · September 23rd, 2009, 12:00 AM

At least for the USA and Canada, but probably elsewhere, too, I bet:
Rob Galbraith DPI: Canon EOS 7D on track to ship next week in U.S., Canada

Josh Dahlberg · September 23rd, 2009, 02:49 AM

Today my dealer received word from Canon Aus/NZ: expected to ship late next week

Let's hope it's true!

Kevin Leeyuen · September 23rd, 2009, 09:31 AM

Any idea on if its body only or kit?

Shaun Walker · September 23rd, 2009, 01:53 PM

I haven't heard any more specifics ... Our small-town but good camera store's manager said the only official kit in the US should be with the 28-135mm IS. Weird and lame, if so.
BUT he said he thought they could hopefully special order some kits with the new 18-135 IS Canon ... but not with the 15-85, I believe.

Matt Newcomb · September 23rd, 2009, 03:47 PM

That'd be awesome if I could get mine by the end of next week. We'll see how far back in the queue I am I guess.

Scott Nodine · September 23rd, 2009, 07:54 PM

Not sure if it's been posted yet but on Best Buy's pre-order page:
Canon - EOS 7D 18.0-Megapixel Digital SLR Camera - Black - 3814B004

...if you click on the "Pre-order Estimate Arrival Time" link in the middle of the page it says 10/13-10/19/2009.

We should be getting ours next week as well. We have a pre-order list going. Call and ask for Stevie to get on it. 212-462-0100.

Hopefully this time next week I'll be shooting with one.

UK - Ready for pickup this Friday (25th). - CVP & Park Cameras.

Ly Nguyen · September 25th, 2009, 06:28 PM

I placed my pre-order at Amazon Sept. 1 around 9am CST. Amazon's website doesn't say when the 7D will ship out. However, on Amazon's iPhone app, it says shipping date is Nov. 2!

I really hope this is not true. I want the 7D in my hands yesterday. =)

Chris Medico · September 27th, 2009, 11:32 AM

I put in an order for one at B&H. Hopefully they will ship them out next week.

Kin Lau · September 29th, 2009, 04:32 PM

Stores in Toronto had them on Saturday.

I got a call yesterday afternoon, and I picked mine up this afternoon. I'm in Ottawa.

Chris Medico · September 29th, 2009, 06:42 PM

My 7D order status with B&H has changed from "back order" to "processing".

I hope that means they got their shipment from Canon today.

Shaun Walker · September 29th, 2009, 07:34 PM

Got mine a couple hours ago from Swanlund's, our great little Eureka, Calif., USA, independent camera shop :) ...

An early mini-review coming soon -- I just shot a few stills and a tiny bit of video at a sunny/backlit protest against the proposed Marine Life Protection Act.

NOTE: My dealer said 7D kits with lens (almost exclusively 28-135) won't be available until middle of October ... I wonder if that's true for all small shops or even all North America sellers?

Chad Dyle · September 29th, 2009, 08:09 PM

Mine will be in from Calumet tomorrow. I called them on Monday asking if they had any idea when they would be in stock. The rep said he was told "end of month". Less than an hour after I hung up, they sent a tracking number.

Brian Parker · September 30th, 2009, 02:23 AM

Here in Japan (the home of Canon) the camera still hasnt been released. Rumours are it could be this weekend.
