The last time something like that happened to me, I ended up getting three.

If that is humor, it isn’t funny. If not humor, it is insulting.

Ordered my R5 from B&H 09/20. Received it 10/02. That was faster than I expected.

Anybody out there have any G2 as to when, if Canon will begin shipping the R5 again? I placed my order 2 1/2 months ago with B&H and, so far, despite several unkept commitments from the B&H people they seem to not have any firm or even rumor of an idea as to when they will get product from Canon.
My guess is still shipping but lots of demand. I got mine on Wednesday.

I followed the users an oodles of Audios and opinions of the EF lenses with the adapter and they all seemed very satisfied. I have the EF 100-400 II and RF adapter but yet to use it. I spent the day with the RF 24-105 today and very pleased. Comparing Microsoft OS and Canon cameras are comparing rocks and chickens. There will always be changes, either hang with what you have or try to ride the new stuff.

I just got mine today (R5) - still in the box. It was a long wait but I am excited about getting started with it.

It appears Canon is shipping to vendors but B&H has a problem with matching order dates to shipments or their algorithm is not based just on the camera. My order is 5 weeks old but I also have a backordered EF to RF adapter with control ring and a backordered express card and reader on the order. There is also the possibility the shipping dept. has no clue on shipping orders based on date and B&H doesn't want to spend resources helping those with the oldest orders get their cameras first. I am considering calling in and separating the orders. I can't shoot without an EF to RF adapter but can workaround the card reader. Some people have been waiting for over two months, others have their cameras in two weeks. Having seen how corporations make a grab for the immediate money one might assume they could be filling based on the profit each order provides. Adapter availability is also an issue unless you order one with a polarizer filter. Selling EF to RF adapters does not not sell RF lenses so Canon may not have prioritized adapter manufacturing. Perhaps adapters that have been shipped have been set aside for earlier orders... There is also the simple possibility that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
