The Sony a7RIII sold significantly better than expected, which is going to cause a delay according to Sony Japan.
Dear Customer,
Announcement concerning supply of digital single lens camera “α7 R III”
Thank you very much for your patronage of Sony products.
The order received from Tuesday, October 31, the digital single lens reflex camera “α 7 R III” has received orders exceeding our expectations greatly, and it is time to receive time to deliver goods I will. For reservations up to the release date it will be delivered in order by early December.
We will do our utmost to respond to customer’s request as much as possible, so please wait for a while.
It looks like the Sony a7RIII will be in short supply for a while to come similar to when the a7RII came out. I’m not sure why companies prefer delaying their shipments over making some limited shipments over time, but other camera companies have done this recently as Photorumors points out.
So if you want a Sony a7RIII anytime soon make sure to get your preorder in now and join our Sony a7 Owners Group, also follow SonyAddict on Facebook and Twitter.
