[c jensen]

<p>Anybody know when this will begin to show up at BH Photo, Adorama, etc.?</p>

<p>I just received B&H's email tell me to pre-order it. I will call them next Tuesday, when they open again.</p>

<p>It is supposed to begin shipping next week. We don't know what the wait time for pre-orders would be.</p>

<p>Some have just started to hit local dealers. Seems like the big boys like Amazon and B&H take a bit longer.</p>

<p>I received a call from Norman Cameras in Grand Rapids, MI Friday afternoon. I had asked them to call as soon as a 7D would be available because I wanted it for a trip to Africa next week. They said that Canon had shipped on Friday, and that they expected delivery on Monday or Tuesday. Even better if I paid for it now, I would have the first one that arrived. I paid, and expect to get it as early as Monday afternoon. </p>

<p>Hopefully you'll have time to test and practice with that new 7D before your safari. Funky shit often ensues when you neglect said caution.</p>

<p>I placed an order on B&H photo website, they are accepting orders which means they will have the camera in stock shortly. Since this is a new camera it is better to buy from reputable dealers with hassle-free return policy just in case there bugs/issues with early models.</p>

<p>Hi Puppy face...good advice. I will have about a week to practice and confirm, and I'll have my 40D as a second camera. My hope is the 500 on the 7D and the 100-400 on the 40D. Good advice, however...</p>

<p>Norman Camera in Kalamazoo is receiving 60 7D bodies today. I was there on Friday (Canon on the road training session) and again on Saturday for prints. Of the 60 coming in today, 54 (as of Sat) were already paid for. I was on the list, but bought a 5dii instead of the 7D. I will wait to hear the feedback from real world use on the 7D before I decide if I will replace my 50D (less than 2 months old) with the 7D.</p>

<p>The 7D arrived at Vistek in Canada today. Enjoy!</p>

<p>Someone I know bought one yesterday from a local shop. This is similar to other Canon introductions - I bought the 1DMk3 locally when it was completely unavailable from the big shops.</p>

<p>BH shipped mine today. Ordered it Sunday Night.</p>
