Awesome! I have GGS on my 50d and 7d and definitely like the added protection.

I am definitely intrigued and will likely hit the buy button once it comes off Beta. I've tried the LensAlign products before and it was a PIA. Having it more automated would make me much more sane (and, therefore, likely to keep my lenses tuned up).

Mine is due to arrive on Monday. It is going to be a LONG day at work! And I'm praying that UPS won't come until later in the day so I can make it home from work in time to sign for it. They typically come after I get home but Monday would be the one day they are ahead of schedule. My fingers are crossed!

The E1 is what I've used on all of my gripped bodies. However, can has apparently discontinued it, so it is a bit harder to find (and is out of stock at B&H and Aorama).

Shipped second day air for free from Canoga Camera in Canoga Park, CA.  Just opened the box, and battery is a charging, YeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Congrats! I have my 7D batteries all charged and ready for mine to get to me, which will likely be on Monday. Can't wait!

UPS says I will get my camera today! Considering I picked free shipping, and it only shipped out yesterday, I'm a happy camper I thought it would be at least a week since I'm on the far north end of the east coast. Hopefully it was packed well...but I still have a $50 pending charge on my credit card..wonder what that is about?

ssimonsphoto: I had that message for a few hours, then it updated when it passed through New York.

North end of the east coast.... nearby me then! I also selected free shipping, but one of my tracking apps is estimating that it won't be here until Monday. I'm still stoked that it will be here well before my first wedding of the year. I was afraid I'd be waiting until June since it took me 2 days to get clearance from the "control tower" to order it.

Does anyone whose order shipped yesterday actually have tracking data from UPS yet? This is all I get for my number:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

It was a couple hours between pending and the email. Another sign you can check is if the charge has hit your credit card yet (although I think mine is still listed as a pending charge).

I have an order of a body only, that was placed on the 15th. It has switched to pending, does that mean I should expect it to go out today? What does the order go to after pending and how long does it take?

Mine went from pending, email received with tracking number, and then to packing.

YAHOO! I was afraid that with my 2 day delay in the preorder that I'd never see the camera before June. But Adorama just sent me notification that it has shipped. YAHOO! Between a wedding I have in 3 weeks and my baby due to be born in 6 weeks, I am one VERY happy pregnant lady to have my new toys in my hands so soon. Now to place my order for the grip, extra battery, and other fun accessories.

My 5d mkIII pre-order from Adorama just arrived at my house 30 minutes ago. I got my sister to sign for it. Too bad I won't get out of work for another 6 hours....

Do you have a battery charged for it already? If not, you could miss out on the unboxing and get your sister to put it on the charger if you trust her enough. Good luck with the wait!

Within the last 30 minutes my order, which was placed on the 4th, has switched back to processing (after the pending, processing, pending switcharo yesterday afternoon). My credit card still has the charge as pending, but fingers crossed that hits today and my order ships. Funny thing is, I currently have the mk2 on loan from CPS, so I could potentially have both in hand to try out at once (I own the 7D and the 50D). Yipee!

Well I ordered March 2nd around 11am EST for body only and no shipping confirmation..not even packing. Still says pending and I have a charge on my credit card from Mar 21.

Same here on the no shipping confirmation and packing. Still have the pending charge on my credit card. Like some of us, your order probably switched from pending to processing and pending at some point yesterday and you didn't catch it. I'm just a notorious page refresher and happened to see the change, which lasted less than an hour.

This also has me concerned because I had the same exact thing happen but if all else fails I will cancel my order and buy the kit from Beach Camera and sell the lens.

Um. This has me concerned. CS told me that it would ship today or tomorrow, my status then went from "Pending" to "Processing", but now it's back to "Pending".

I'm in the same boat. But they've charged my credit card (shows as pending transaction on 3/21) so I'm still holding out hope it ships today. I got the free shipping, but still expect to see it next week.

Pending... I wish I originally just did it with Amazon though, as my Amazon card gives me triple points and 3.99 overnight shipping with Prime. Would of saved me close to $180... I am thinking about still canceling, though. I got time! :p

I did it through Adorama since I got 2% cash back through ebates, which saved me about $70. Got the cash back immediately even though my credit card hasn't been charged.

And to the PP that posted about the package, I have no need for the backpack nor the bundled software, so I'll save my money (and keep my spot in line).
