p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Any idea when Adorama will have the A7R III?


I've had the A7R III and two batteries on order from Adorama for nearly 2 weeks and still the camera is backordered. The same message regarding expected availability, "the item is on the way to our warehouse and is expected in a few days" has been on display since I ordered. I've called customer service twice and was told both times that the arrival date was unknown. I'm considering jumping ship and ordering through B&H, but I'd rather use Adorama. Does anyone have inside info on when Adorama will receive some A7RIII camera bodies?

Scott, you may want to contact Helen Oster from Adorama tomorrow. She frequents this forum quite a bit. I hope you hear some good news from her. BTW, you can get through her via PM by searching her name on FM.

There were literally thousands of folks ahead of you.
I would not cancel.

But it could be 1-3 more weeks.

Thanks Joshua - I'll check with her tomorrow. I appreciate the info!

Thanks Dj R - SAR is saying that B&H will have them in on the 21st... wonder how big their backlog of orders is?

I’m sorry probably not in thousands, I stand corrected. I went back and looked at some emails I got from folks there and B&H.

B&H had over 300 backorders in the system as of 11/22. I don’t think the initial batch sent to them was anywhere near that.

Nikon and Sony we’re just not ready with enough bodies at the launch of the D850 / 7R3.

Vendors don’t get adequate info in my opinion. Not until the truck arrives!

Good luck.

I will have my second in a week or two. I decided that I don’t need two until later in the winter, so if someone wants one.... that has never even been touched, I will take care of you.

Thanks Guy. I've bought and sold a fair amount here, but for something this expensive, I'd rather buy it direct from an authorized dealer.

I understand . Try calling some small shops like Allen’s camera and places like that. Focus camera seems to be pulling them out if the hat too. Pro cam is another

Pro Cam still has a waiting list. (I am on it) They have received 10 cameras in the past 2 weeks as i get closer and closer to being at the top of the list.

Before I order mine which was 12/06, I chat with Adorama about how soon I will get one if I put an order on that date, they said they don't know. So I decided to put my order through B & H because the website page had the back order date (was 12/15), they shipped my order out 12/14 which will be delivered by 12/20.

I really appreciate everyone's help. I PM'd Helen Oster. If I can't get an ETA from Adorama, I'll call some of the small shops as Guy suggested. If they're out, B&H is supposed to have some in on 12/21. Problem is, I'm cameraless. Have a new 16-35 GM with nothing to test it on. Sold the A7RII, a6500, and my Nikon CoolPix A. Now I don't know what to do with my free time.

Good, I'm back in line for an A7R III from Adorama. I had pulled my order shortly before contacting you, but the local deal that I thought that I had didn't work out. I can't wait!
