Patience grasshopper not until Dec 6th in the states until official Sony release. They're pretty strict about it too. Sony Pro service might get them earlier if you ordered through them.
Lets just say BH sent them out early then Sony by contract can ding them on future product. BH would be stupid to do that , pre orders are already in and there would be no financial gain by doing that

There could be some financial gain I suppose. If they ship out early, they would get more pre-orders from new customers i would think (if they don't get into problems with Sony )

My PCK-LG3 screen protector shipped today from B&H...delivery on 12/7...hopefully the day I also get my a7R V.
That's good for you. Back ordered at B&H. Annoyed with Sony, you drop a camera with no screen protector available. Or at least not enough. There own website say end of Jan. Sony get your $hit together
Try copying and pasting the above link into your browser. Clicking on the FM link it seems to mangle it.

Seems the general consensus is the PCK-LG3 for the screen protector....what about a different eyepiece? Same as one that fits the A7RIV?

Mine is scheduled to ship on the 5th.
Not in a big hurry- raw files not supported yet anyway. I know I can change metadata, but can't really evaluate color until capture one and adobe upgrade their products.

I wonder in there will be a shortage of this camera. It isn’t exactly cheap and is not something as game changing as the a7iii was.
I’ve got a preorder coming soon as well

This is probably discussed better in other places, but FWIW (since I didn't immediately find any of those other places):
It took me a bit to figure out how to change the metadata. On Windows*, follow the exiftool website's instructions for downloading and installing the exiftool.exe file, and, (assuming your card reader is "H:", and the exiftool.exe file is in the C:/go directory) this .bat file does the trick. It's slow, since it does the file modifications on the card. (It's really easy to use: with the .bat file on the desktop, put the card in the card reader and double click the .bat file and wait. And wait and wait. But it gets done.)
h:
cd DCIM/100MSDCF
c:/go/exiftool -"SonyModelID=ILCE-7RM4" *.ARW
There are probably better ways, but at least Lightroom Classic now opens the files. Oh, yes. Make sure your card is less than 1/2 full. It saves the original files (under new names) and only then changes the .ARW files.
The string "ILCE-7RM5" appears in a couple of other places in the metadata, but is seems only the SonyModelID is of concern to Lightroom.
