Oh yeah ;-). Me too, ordered Aril 3rd (102010xxxx), body only from B&H. Seems Mokh24 is good at digging out information from customer service rep.

Hahaha!!! Yeah after a daily live chat with the cs reps, i think they got fed up from me, not the other way around !!!

FINALLYYYY, my order says its sent to warehouse...
Body only ordered on april 3!!!

I was just chatting with a B&H rep and he said they are expecting a shipment by the end of this week and he confirmed that my body only will be in this shipment.
I ordered on april 3.

Is there suppose to be weekly batches?  I can't seem to get any info from B&H

The last time i asked, B&H said they USUALLY receive weekly batches, with a big stress on usually :p

I'm sticking with B&H as I don't need the camera for any specific event and have great customer service from B&H when needed.

I am sticking with B&H just because they already charged my credit card back in april 3 (international customer)... I can't believe you can wait that long!!! Even if you don't have an upcoming event, playing with a 5d3 at home is perfect joy for me :s

Glad ya took advantage as well! I should be getting mine this Friday, Just in time for Saturdays baptism and Sundays fashion shoot, so stoked !

I should get mine on Friday, as well! Just in time for 5k run and newborn photosession! yay!

Awesome! Has yours shipped out today yet? Mine still in processing, they better ship it out today lol 

Yes it says shipped and should be here by 10:30 am!!

AND those crazy people from J&R.....They first sent me email saying that my order is on the backorder so i decided not to cancel and wait for onecall to send me shipping confirmation first....so in the evening - i got TWO shippment notifications in a row - from one call and one from J&R!! My credit card had a heart attack, i think ) Anyone needs a camera in MA?

J&R sent me a notice that mine is backordered and who knows they will ever get it in....

when did you order yours?

I ordered mine on April 17th from J&R and received it today

When did it leave J&R stores ? Is this a new batch from canon delivered this week, or this is from last week ?

Lenses / Re: Shooting people with a 16-35... Any good ?

« on: May 06, 2012, 05:01:27 AM »

I still dont have too many lenses... I only had the 18-55 kit lens with my old xti and a 70-300 sigma, i just got the 24-105 and the 16-35 is on its on way... So that's it..

I actually WANT to show a lot of the background scene ( or else i would use the 24-105 for portraits)... But i wanna know is if I use the 16-35, will I get unacceptably distorted images when shooting people ?

Lenses / Shooting people with a 16-35... Any good ?

« on: May 06, 2012, 04:18:27 AM »

I am expecting my 16-35 to ship with my 5d3 soon... I never used a 16-35 and i am buying it for my honeymoon in italy...
My question is, is it a good idea to use the 16-35 to shoot my wife-to-be and myself to have a good landscape scene in the background or shall i stick with the 24-105 for people shots and use the 16-35 only for landscapes?
Any people shots are welcome especially @16mm.

Thanks

The last batch Has covered orders made between march 8 and march 22. So it covered 2 weeks...
But i guess those 2 weeks had more orders than the month from march 22 till april 22...
I would guess the next batch might cover all orders made before end of april... Just guessing

EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark III in Stock at B&H TODAY !!!!!

Never was in stock... The title says so but i think he meant a shipment was received by b&h...
It seems Orders made before march 22 were fulfilled...
I spoke to a CS rep at b&h, he said they are expecting to start receiving a shipment every week!

GOOD NEWS!!! "Hopefully"
I was chating with a CS rep from b&h and i asked him if they have received any new shipments, he said "it seems like we have received one today"
I dont think he could be mistaken with another shipment... It has been a long time since the last shipment!!!

Adorama seem to have some problems with the triple rebate thingy... It seems it was a mistake. I've tried 3-4 times during the day and each time i had a different rebate value!!!
