I hope this insane demand of the new lenses and cameras make them realise that they have to make more lenses 😀
Insane damand or low supply?

They must have had very few. I was checking every couple of hours and got lucky.
You got one of the 24 mm?
Yes, it should arrive Thursday.
this is so frustrating. i just missed it 🙁
is this just for the nex 7 body only, or are there also nex7 with lens kits going out for shipping tomorrow?
mine from SonyStyle does not show as shipping 🙁
Will there be no pre-ordering at BHphoto?
I preordered mine through Best Buy about a month ago and my credit card just got charged. I was told that my card wouldn’t get charged until my item was in stock and ready to ship to me. I hope that means mine is about to come home!
Your what? This post is about the 24mm lens and the Nex 7 body, which is it?
My fault. I preordered my nex-7 with kit lens
Interesting. I also ordered the kit from Best Buy about a month ago but although my credit card gets a new hold every week I haven’t been charged yet.
Bad news for me, I preordered NEX-7 and I called SonyStore yesterday and they told me that nothing is being shipped and also that next update about NEX-7 is Dec 22.
This morning I received an email from SonyStore
Hello YU MATSUI,
Sony is continuing to work on obtaining information about when your new NEX7K/B will be on hand and shipping, unfortunately at this time there is no new information. Production capacity for this model has been severely limited, and will continue to be as we continue to rebuild and recover from the flooding in Thailand and its impact on our manufacturing facilities and overall supply chain. We’re continuing to push forward to restore full production capability of the NEX-7 and other affected models.
We hope to have more information to provide you within the next week.
Again, thank you very much for your continued patience.
Sincerely,
Sony Customer Care
Well, I ordered the NEX-7 body from Amazon on August 24. Went to check on the status of that order last night and found out it had been cancelled. I never received any notice of it. So, looks like I’m waiting until February. Bummer.
I ordered the Zeiss 24 at the same time and it has shipped. I’m not sure why they would cancel one and not the other. They sent me several status updates on the 24 giving me the option to cancel, but no such communication with the NEX-7.
After a certain amount of time if the item is still back ordered they will cancel the order. That varies from store to store though. Best Buy has a 10 day policy for backorders. After 10 days it automatically cancels the order in their system so after I preordered mine in I called them up and they extended my backorder wait period til the end of January so it wouldn’t cancel.
I got the same message from the Sony Store yesterday too. 🙁
I ordered a NEX 7 from Sony when it was announced back in September but I did not receive any email notices saying that the camera will be shipped today. I called Sony USA today (12/13/11) to check the status and I was told that no NEX 7 shipments are scheduled for today. No NEX 7 shipments have gone out and that they have no new warehouse information about deliveries in December. So I am not sure the above information was correct or if it was for the USA market. I did receive the Sony 24/1.8 today…
I gave up on the NEX7 w/24~lens combo and decided to feed my addiction in another way. I have the CZ 135/1,8 sitting on my desk waiting for the A77 or possibly the A99 (if I have the patients). Perhaps it will be paid off by the time the body rolls around.
It’s back in stock right now at B&H
My order status on the Sony store says it was gonna ship today as well, but I never got an email saying anything has shipped nor have I been charged; so I’m guessing that it really isn’t shipping.
At Sony Store my order still says Estimated Shipping Date 10/12/2011- if only that were true. No sign of impending shipping.
Hey, of those of you getting a Nex7 shipped from Sony Store today, what was your order date?
Mine was ordered on Sept 9, 2011. Still no shipping confirmation e-mail. The expected shipping date on my order at http://www.sonystyle.com still says Dec 13, 2011.
Just got my shipping confirmation from Sony. Just the NEX-7 body, picked up in Illinois, with a delivery date of Thursday!
Was ordered on the 10 of September.
Any idea on when Amazon preorders will ship?
If the NEX follows the same timeframe as the 24 1.8, we should know in a couple of days. There was a 3-4 day delay on the 24 1.8, so I would expect the same, however, SONY maybe stingy on this one and only fill orders from the sony store.
Got my e-mail from Sony confirming Nex-7 has shipped. Fedex already has it in their system.
NEX-7 pre-ordered Aug. 27. Body only. Will be delivered Dec. 14th. via Sony store gratis next day delivery upgrade, by 3: P.M. Fedex…
NEX-7, ordered Aug.27, confirmed for delivery for Dec.14th by Sony Store, gratis next day delivery upgrade, via Fedex, by 3:00 P.M. Confirmed by Fedex.
Unclear what “Your comment is awaiting moderation” means.
Is YES not an ok reply?
Update: Mine shipped! Body only, direct from Sony. Like J Bradfor Davis, next day delivery!!!
Supernews!
This blows. Made my order on 08/26 for a kit NEX-7 and still nothing… so much for that awesome X-Mas gift (for myself).
In my opinion Sony hasn’t done the best job managing this. They said they’d send an email every two weeks. That has only happened once. The last update was a week late. They’ve also confused things with the post on their blog that some units are shipping. Which units? To who? Why are you showing a kit unboxing if only bodies are shipping?
Kinda frustrating that I ordered mine before others and they are getting their units before me. Glad some of you are getting to enjoy the NEX-7. Just jealous I’m not one of them
