Yes May. 

My recollection was that Crutchfield didn't start accepting pre-orders until much later than B&H, FWIW.  I considered ordering from them when I first saw it listed, but B&H doesn't collect sales tax from my state, and the flat excise amnesty rate was lower than my total tax would have been.  Great group of people from my experience though (they've even sent me Christmas cards a couple of times!)

that was fast! I ordered mine May 10th from Adorama, has anyone else gotten another Q2 from Adorama? seems to be the least reported source

My wife ordered from Adorama Mar 30 and B&H April 9. Still backordered on both.

I popped into richard caplan to pick up a sl 35 lens and also enquired about the q2, they currently have one in stock and more coming with no waiting list so if you are in the UK worth checking them out.

I ordered from Adorama on 5/13. I get false hope when I see posts that more stock seems to be coming in... In my mind, I won’t see the Q2 until September possibly October. I’m very patient but I can’t wait until I don’t have to check this thread daily :) I have a corporate gig coming up in August and I think I’m renting a Q for the shoot, will be nice to use that camera a bit and then hopefully enjoy the upgrade right around the corner.

It drives me crazy not reading about anyone else (but 1) getting the Q2 from Adorama

Here's an interesting offer from a somewhat sketchy website. Caveat emptor--they claim to have the Q2 in stock and are posting it at 4199 usd. I'm going to wait for B&H, but wanted any unwary buyers to be equally skeptical of this. https://www.mknightshop.com/Leica-Q2-Digital-Camera_p_33.html

 I wrote to them and got this reply from a different email address: "We got the Camera from an authorized dealer here in North America. Prices will go back to MSRP in 10 days. The Camera is Brand new, 100% Original with Complete accessories and 2 year manufacturer warranty. You can purchase directly on www.mknightshop.com or I can send you a PayPal invoice.
 Let me know."

If they got it from an authorized dealer and its brand new, then they paid MSRP for it. Why would they discount it? And if they are happy to discount it, why the exploding offer, where it goes back to full price in 10 days? Extremely sketchy, they probably want to pressure you to buy fenced goods. The whole store site is weird.

Address is here, which has no reviews, and doesn't seem to be a store at all.

The prices being offered on Sony A9 and D850 don’t make sense either unless they all “fell off a truck”.

My Q2 just arrived and TBH I think I’d like to go back to my Q. For me the difference isn’t justified.

If you do it quickly, I expect you could sell your Q2 and recoup most of what you spent. 

Out of curiosity, what were you hoping to get out of the Q2 that you aren’t actually getting?  As far as I can tell so far, it’s almost exactly the upgrade they indicated.  The higher resolution is definitely there.  The weather resistance is likely real (haven’t tested that by going out in the rain yet).  The better battery life is definitely there.  The EVF is a huge improvement.  Granted, it’s an evolution not a revolution, but that is how it was pitched as well. 

Were you expecting the extra megapixels to be more obvious in their affect?  Or were you hoping for better high ISO response?  Or was the weight difference more significant than you expected?  What was disappointing?

Kidskee, thanks for the heads up, I have been waiting for B&H but placed this order through Amazon, we will see if it works!

You pulled the trigger on the K&M Q2 on Amazon? Curious to see, please keep us updated here. Fingers crossed!
