I pre-ordered my BMDCC on July 2nd 2012, and it has been shipped (March 14th) to arrive in McAllen TX tomorrow afternoon (March 19th). Handles were free when I pre-ordered eight months ago, and because of the big delay, B&H upgraded my (free) shipping to 3-day...

Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Ordered May 20
Revised order July 18 to include free handles offer
BH says this order revision didn't affect my place in line- but it did.
Called last week and complained people well after May getting cameras.
Got mine today.
Can't say I'm happy I waited a few extras weeks but at least they responded to my inquires and made it right.
It's all over. And I'm so damn happy it is.

I also ordered July 29th and I show a shipping label created as of today 3/22/13 but it is not in the UPS system.

Funny enough, I also ordered from Adorama on 2/7/13 and it shipped yesterday. I'm shooting an indie feature and decided to keep both and may sell one after I've done principal photography.

If you're losing jobs because you booked them when you didn't own a camera, that's no ones fault but your own... There are other cameras on the market readily available for rent/purchase to pay your bills in the meantime.

I cannot believe NAB 2013 is almost here and this is still a problem. If Sony or another competitor can duplicate, or get close to the quality/price point of the BMCC, it's lights out for them. I'm a big fan of this camera, but this kind of delay makes me lose confidence. If anyone has orders recently, are they giving you shipping estimates?

BMD has had 2 huge obstacles/hurdles, The first one was the sensor glass,
and now the Flange Mount Focal Distance, I'm not supporting any excuse, just making you aware.

Yes. It hasn't shipped, we haven't been charged, they just put a hold on the amount of money to make sure we have it. Thinking that it'll be shipping soon. *shrugs* but here's to hoping! :)

I canceled my order a B&H a while ago and temporarily gave up. I placed an order with Adorama March 5th and had my camera in hand yesterday. Unless a ton of people caught onto this, Adorama's 4-6 week estimate is very accurate, if anyone is further down the list at B&H and is looking for one sooner.
