I am a bit worried to say the least. Here's the email that was sent to me by b&h:

B&H Photo-Video


What do you guys think, is the camera going to be delayed again. I was watching the video from Newsshooter where Matt Allard asks a guy if the cameras would come out in July, and I believe the guy didn't fully understand the question as English isn't his first language. So his response was "shipping in July". So I believe he was just repeating what reps said at NAB. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

What exactly are you worried about? Of course they tell you that the delivery is being delayed, because of course they have not received any cameras, and most certainly won't until late july, as the camera is announced to "ship in july" (from the manufacturer), which even holds true if BM starts shipping at july 29th... And once the cameras start shipping, you'll actually have to wait much longer, because there is probably a long list of preorders in front of you...

That email from B&H is automated, it goes out every month or so (I saw a lot of them while waiting for the BMCC MFT). Nothing to worry about. Don't start worrying until July 31st.

I've been using B&H for many years and have never had a bad situation. I ordered my BMCC from them back in August 2012 and received it during NAB. As someone else mentioned, B&H always sends this automated message, like every two weeks. If the cameras are shipped (from Australia) on the 29th, then depending on the shipping method that's going to take days to longer, then B&H has to process them and ship them out to the customers who ordered first. I ordered mine the day after NAB in the morning and even by then, there could have been hundreds in front of me. If I get mine sometime in August, I'll be very happy.

Regardless of when it ships (I pre-ordered the day it was launched at NAB) I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I wonder if the Camera will show up on ebay. I tried finding out anything from B&H today and they have no clue about anything except that they are getting some by the end of next week.

It seems B&H got review units at least...
