Because when you do it for one person, EVERY SINGLE DEALER will want to know when they're getting theirs. They said RIGHT BEFORE the weekend that it shipped. Give it some time to actually get through transit and we'll know. There's a huge backorder and the demand is great. We're all anxious to get our cameras. There was ONE short delay. They are now shipping. Now it's just a matter of time for them to get through the system and start getting out there. It's not as easy as putting out a huge list of EVERY SINGLE Blackmagic dealer and saying exactly how many units each one is getting. Sony doesn't do that, Panasonic doesn't do that, Apple doesn't do that. No one does that.
The shipping date was said to be in August. They shipped in August. Now the cameras will start to trickle through. It's impossible for them to say how may they'll produce and who's going to get what. There are so many parts to the equation.
Everyone's excited. Everyone's anxious. We really just need to wait. It's not like Blackmagic doesn't want you to have your camera.
