Sony has said that pre orders were multiples of what they expected. I am thinking this will be a high demand, low supply camera for a while.
Yes, apparently the biggest pro dealer here in Denmark have three times the pre-orders that they expected, another dealer told that they will get one (1!) per week. I now realize that I made a mistake thinking this was something I could pick up with just a little luck in April.

I think it'll depend on the dealer. I called my dealer to see if they had any cancellations or non-allocated bodies and much to my surprise, I was able to grab one without issue; same March 9 delivery.

Unfortunate news about the delayed release date. I submitted my Pro Support documentation for the early dibs but even then, I'm not sure my store will abide by it. Sold my A9ii in Feb and with COVID loosening its grips in IL, I've been hired to shoot a bunch of college sports (indoors and out). RIV just isn't the move for this and the pushback hurts, lol.

no, that's wrong, all sony cameras have xlnt tracking capability in wide area focus mode, it works very well, and mark galer got 30fps using it on the a1.
you do not own sony, and you know nothing about it.No, you are wrong. Mark Galer explicitly shows he only got 26.6 fps with any lock on tracking AF mode. He only got 30 fps if he disabled lock on tracking and went regular wide area that just focused on whatever is closest. That wide area mode with no lock on tracking means 30 fps is not reliable enough for use in sports where you have multiple players and faces in view. Things like this you would only realize if you actually used an A9 to its full capabilities.
no you are wrong again as usual, because you don't know squat about sony tracking, much less shooting sports, and you are posting lies, as many people have already stated... you are a troll.
sony wide area mode has automatic lock-on tracking, it locks on and tracks just as well as the other tracking modes.

I made a post about this in the other thread but will add it here also. Dealers in Canada (and presumably the US) were given their allocations this past Friday so they know how many they are getting and they know how many (and to whom) SPS orders are in that shipment.
My dealers said "almost all" of his are to SPS (but not all).
So your dealer should know now if you are getting one next week.

I think the confusion lies in what we are calling Tracking and what Sony is calling Tracking. Sony refers to tracking modes as the last item on the AF mode list. Sony calls this Real Time Tracking in product advertisement but on the actual camera and user manual it is referenced as "Tracking: Wide" or Tracking:Zone or Tracking:Flex Spot etc.
Now in the regular Wide mode (top of the AF list) the camera is "tracking" what it guesses is your intended subject but it isn't given any input from you like it would be with Tracking:Flex Spot where you target a specific subject/object in the frame.
Mark Galer is referring to Real Time Tracking mode where you get that green square and a vertical line on either side once it starts tracking something. In that mode he could only get 26.6FPS.
But of course one can use regular Wide or Zone and the dots will dance and track the subject.
Of note Galer says in many of his AF videos that Sony's algorithms are set to prioritize subjects in the center of the frame and closer to the camera when in Wide or Zone mode. I've certainly noticed this over the years. Especially the center of the frame prioritization as if I place my bird dead center and use Wide it will usually find it even with all sorts of distractions around it. I'm not overly convinced about the closest to the camera prioritization...at least it is not as obvious as how Nikon DSLRs prioritize closest subject in Group or Auto modes.
Bottom line...yes you can get to 30FPS in a mode like Wide or Zone which will track the subject. But not in the newer Real-Time Tracking modes.

but we knew that already, you are a troll and a liar who doesn't own sony, and you've obviously never shot sports... you don't have a website, no flickr, no instagram, no facebook, you've never posted pics out here.
sony wide area mode most certainly does have lock-on tracking capability, contrary to the lies that you posted:
"Set the Focus Area to Lock-on AF
This procedure applies to photo modes only.
Set Focus Mode to Continuous AF (AF-C).
Select appropriate Focus Area depending on the subject, background, and shooting situation.
If you encounter a moving subject against a simple background, select Lock-on AF: Wide"

@Arbitrage and I keep telling you that there is a regular wide AF with no lock on tracking in addition to the lock on tracking wide AF. It's not rocket science! One of them does 30 fps and the other does 26.6 fps. Lock on tracking means that it keeps on the initial target even if spins around or more than one person is in view. No lock on tracking means it just focuses on whatever is closest or emphasize the target in the center. One takes more CPU power, the other is a dumb mode that exists on other cameras. One of them is usable for sports where there are multiple players in a scene, the other will be unreliable. Sheesh!

All I'm trying to do is clarify the terminology. Wide AF (non-tracking version) does continuous AF. And as I said, that could be considered tracking because it does track a subject across the frame. So I was agreeing with your argument. Mark Galer only said he can't get 30FPS if in any of the Tracking AF modes (ie the bottom icon on the vertical AF mode list). What Sony calls Real-Time Tracking in their marketing (but never in camera nor in the user manual
).
I think we need to drop the "Lock-on" terminology as that does not exist in the A9II, A7RIV, A7SIII, A7C, A9 (FW 5.0) nor A1. That is ancient A7III/RIII stuff. The Real-Time Tracking replaced that in the menus, created the new icon (square with vertical lines left and right), greatly improved the algorithms and is now what most of us refer to as Tracking. Because this is what Sony calls Tracking in the camera and in the user manuals/help guides.

Listen carefully on Mark Galers video at 29:40 and I will quote Mark here "so here is the 30fps, this time 240 frames and um it's an 8 second burst and if you do the maths it's 30 fps, now what I have done is I have come out of tracking and just gone into AF-C Wide..."

Thank you for your service but I suspect @osv2 is just trying to troll me. Surely he can't be that ignorant of what Mark Galer said?
