    B&H last night extended their expected availability date from July 30th to August 15th. I have my fingers crossed that this date is more accurate to when a customer can get one (who’s on a pre-order list, which I have been since April) as opposed to when they might be technically available in terms of having shipped out of Australia but not yet in the hands of a dealer.

    Various BMD dealers have been taking BMCC pre-orders since April, including in the US.

    Unless there is a parts shortage (such as a constraint on image sensor availability) I suspect the BMCC will be relatively readily available once they start ramping up production over the coming weeks & months. At least this seems to be BMD’s pattern with their other products.

    The BMCC appears to be a hot-product-in-the-making, so it could be in short supply for at least a little while. We shall see.

    Thanks everyone for the replies.
    I finally got a hold of a few vendors that will do the pre-order.
    I guess I waited too long, now Im back in the line 🙁

    I did not order at NAB unfortunately. Wasn’t there. I pre-ordered the first week that B&H had it available. I think it was April 30th that I actually submitted it. It is good that your were able to pre-order though as I suspect that will be the only way to get a camera for several months. And look on the bright side, we early adopters won’t even have audio meters on our cameras (coming in a future firmware update). You get to let us figure out all the problems first.
