UPDATE: We’re now hearing that dealers are receiving the cameras too late to ship them out on the 7th; the effective ship-out date will be the 8th. We’ve updated this post.
We’re told that the first allocation of EOS 5D Mark IV has been shipped from Canon. Dealers are allowed to ship the camera to end-customers beginning Thursday (September 8th.)
We’re also told the camera in body-only configuration is in short supply. A pre-order ($3499 at B&H, Adorama, Amazon, or Profeel) will go far in ensuring that you get your camera early.
Some of the dealers in our network have a limited number of EOS 5D Mark IV bodies that are not yet spoken for — if you’d like to be guaranteed a camera from this first allocation (shipping out Thursday), please contact us via the EOS 5D Mark IV street price form. There is no discount at this time — the price is $3,499.
Finally, there is a healthy supply of the EOS 5D Mark IV with 24-70mm f/4L IS Kit. Even if you order today ($4399.00 at B&H, Adorama, Amazon) you will likely be shipped a camera Thursday.
