For those that have pre-orders placed, has anyone been given a rough delivery date?

Apparently, the cameras are 'released' April 29.
I'm not sure if that means they can be released from the store on the 29 or if that means from the manufacturing factory on the 29.

No. Ricoh did take my money immediately, though

That was also my question. Amazon says: This item will be released on April 29, 2021. So I assume we will get it at this date

As an unsolicited follow-up to my query of late-March, Camera Canada sent me a text message yesterday to advise that the K-3 Mark III was listed at their site and available for pre-order. They also responded promptly to another question today, and followed-up again later in the day to say that they would be placing their first order to Ricoh Imaging Canada today. No indication of delivery timing.

Great customer service. They carry a fair stock of Pentax items online and in their London, Ontario shop.

I pre-ordered mine on Amazon. Expected delivery date: May 5 or 6.

Smolk · 04-17-2021, 03:00 PM

My delivery date is not announced yet. Order April 1, and did ask, but received no firm answer

Just got my credit card statement and the money is gone so I guess I'm committed now. Would be great to hear an estimated delivery date.

Some received their K3 III around the world (Japan, US, maybe in Europe). On Amazon I still see it in pre-order (released start on April 29) and mine will be shipped on May 5.
Any update from camera retailers in Canada?
