p.9 #2Sony A1 II availability ?
There is a used A1ii available on B&H (which is currently on Passover holiday). Similar situation to a couple weeks ago where there was a used A1ii over the weekend (Sabbath) that was instantly snapped up after checkout opened again.

ordered mine about a week ago from Pictureline out of SLC (thanks for the recommendation @RoamingScott) and shipped today.
Also, one showing in stock at Nelson's in San Diego. Redditors just posted this.

Thanks for the heads-up! I placed the order and my AMEX was charged. Keep my finger cross. I swore I would not pay MSRP for another new Sony camera because of their lack of FW updates in the first 3 years of the A1, but here I am.

That's comforting. I had never heard of them before.

This one is gone too! Not sure how it's gone, considering B&H is closed til 8/21.
Was thinking maybe an employee decided to buy.
Who knows though...

Had about 20-30 emails alerts setup from various retailers. Already got my A1II few months ago but left the alerts active. I would get 1-2 emails every couple weeks of stock availability.
For anyone else looking to get one try calling in to small shops. They don't always update online inventory or even list them. People cancel pre-order all the time or place multiple orders. That is how I got mine early without pre-order/waitlist.

Finally got mine after waiting about 2 months. Really surprised that the Firmware was 1.X. Where was this thing hiding all this time.

I've held off my GAS by assuming this thing is out of stock everywhere, but I did find a retailer that gave a 2 month timeline if I pre order now. Alas, I have no reason for such a powerful camera as an upgrade from my a7rv for what I do.. but the temptation is real, hearing that it is *only* a couple months wait..

I had a three week timeline. I'm now at 5 month. I do feel forgotten.
