I think some got them. Others will have had their orders cancelled. Seller always has the right to cancel an order.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, as I said, I know at least one person who actually did receive his expensive lens and it was exactly as promised: brand-new in box, Nikon USA warranty, etc., etc. He was really concerned that Amazon would cancel the order on him but they didn't, they shipped the item and he paid just $94.00 for it!
I may just be jaded, but I am completely disinterested. I do not print extremely large, so the resolution is of no use to me. In short, this camera is not going to improve my photography, so why bother?
Just had a look at some of the first sample images. There seems to be a fine background noise and noise suppression in even the base ISO images. Similar to you find on smaller sensor images and is pronounced on phone images. It wouldn't effect most photographers as the resolution is so high and it would probably not be visible in a print. Any level of noise does make images harder to retouch though.
It looks like Sony have reached the limitations of pixel pitch and this camera is pushing the boundary. My guess is that we have reached the logical conclusion of the megapixel race. I don't think there will be many people worried about that though. It will be hard enough just to find lenses to resolve this sort of resolution.

I have to agree here. I am still shooting with the A7rII and really have no desire to upgrade to either the A7rIII or the new A7rIV. For me, the A7rII still takes great images for what I typically shoot (landscapes/cityscapes). Plus, I have no need for a 61mp sensor when 42mp is more than enough for me.
I tend to agree. While I do currently shoot with an A7RIII, no hurry for the IV. While I haven't seen the space required for the files, the one thing that stands out with me between the 42 and 61mp sensors is the crop mode with the 42mp, crop is 16mp, while the 61mp has 24mp crop. That is the same as the 6000 series cameras. Would be nice just to flip a switch rather than switching bodies. But I will wait a while - is ever.
And now the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII Digital Camera.

Ooooh........! I was hoping that they would announce an update to the RX10, but this sounds rather enticing, too. I love my RX100 M6 but not sure I'm ready to swap it in for the new one yet! Hm..... Have to read about all the new features and functionality before I make a decision. Last year I went ahead and preordered the RX100 M6 soon after it was announced, but then I had an older RX100 and the new features of the M6 were very compelling. This time there wouldn't be quite that urgency. Just in my quick skimming of the listing on B&H it sounds pretty good, though.....
