Mine is a "1". But I don't care to do anything about it. This issue does not effect me in the slightest bit. Does it bother you that much?
Neither.

24-105 f/4L IS is a much better value for money. Lighter, less expensive, better range, just as sharp.
If you need to shoot low light, use a prime lens. You could probably buy an "L" prime and the 24-105 for close to what the 24-70 v2 costs.

Hopefully with the removal of the Karma system, there will be fewer newbies hurt by a (trivial) scoring system and we can concentrate on the comments and discussions themselves.
Sorry to see you go, and hope to see you back some time when the 5D III whining has ceased!
Just the opposite. Things have definitely taken a turn for the worse in the few days since Karma was removed. I predict it will only get worse. Like it or not, Karma worked. It helped keep people in line and was a way for the entire community to police one another.
Things have already started to degenerate and unfortunately it appears removing the Karma system will be a big contributor to the problem.
I picked up from my local shop, canceled my order from Amazon. Body only, the local shop (San Jose Camera & Video) has a few more kit and body only.
What local shop near you has it in stock?
I thought I did, I posted this on 3 different forums. I bought from San Jose Camera & Video, body only. They also have kits in stock. 12 in total. They had a stack of them when I picked up mine at 5:30PM PST today.Picked up a 5D3 body from my local shop, yes I paid nearly $300 in tax. They still have more left.
at this point it's blowing my mind that people aren't sharing any details.... which shop? kits? bodys? State?
I believe I am. I want to support it, since its a quality store that deserves money even if I have to pay all the taxes. They got body only from what they told me, and they got 15. If those details help anyone out who's curious.
Just got a call from my LCS. They're in stock...(not a troll, been lurking for ages, hope everyone's ready for the 5d3)...
Nobody is asking how many they will get. People want to know when they are likely to get their camera. By answering a customer's question on when they are likely to ship the camera is not going to reveal their numbers nor will it reveal any 'special' agreement with Canon. And by the way I doubt that would be the case. This is USA, if that got out and if Adorama/Amazon did not sue to Canon some other two bit retailer could. Why would Canon risk it?
The reply from B&H when asked, "When will my camera ship?" has been "We don't know how many we are getting, we don't know when yours will ship." And you think B&H doesn't have a deal with Canon? Why does Canon allow them to be an authorized retailer when they also offer grey market Canon gear? And in order for someone to sue Canon for allotting more bodies to B&H there would have to be a law against doing that? Do you think the US Government attempts to regulate how Canon chooses to allocate inventory? Of course they don't.
B&H is probably keeping quiet for one simple reason: Business intelligence. If they tell people how many they have coming or how many preorders there are, their competitors might gain an advantage. What if B&H has *special* terms with Canon on receiving priority over others...say receiving 5x many bodies initially as their closest competition. If that were to get out, every other retailer would complain to Canon and that advantage might get taken away.
