Amazon.com (US) are currently showing 4 in stock (sold by Norman Camera & Video) as of 9pm UK time.

Price with shipping to UK is a little high and risk of getting clobbered by customs for import means I'm going to wait it out for a while longer.

If anyone wants it for $350 (which is very pricey, imo):

To be honest that doesn't work out too bad in UKP. However, warranty questions and the (likely) chance of customs charges are putting me off.

Excellent, thanks for that.

The review is positive and hopefully it won't be long before it is more widely available.

Sounds like it we could be looking at the end of May. No matter, I have a alternative solution already (Wintec GPS Track Logger and Lightroom V4 works well), I was just looking forward to the convenience of the E2.

I'm not even going to check mine. Life is too short.

It's hardly a drama that a launch version of camera firmware has one or two issues. Not really the end of the world is it?

Anyway, I have pictures of lens caps to take....

1. does anyone have the direct web link to canon's press releases regarding 5D Mark III potential recall?

As far as I can tell all they have done is acknowledge the 'phenomena'. The only mentions of recalls has been in the near hysteria all over the forums.

2. when do you think they'll give a definitive response?

Hopefully when they have assessed it and decided what, if any, action is necessary.

Well said, TrumpetPower

+1.

All I have seen is some slight odd behaviour with the lens cap on and the eyepiece blocked and completely expected behaviour with the lens cap off.

Move along, nothing to see? A bit like the back of a lens cap....

I do not understand why none of the professionals who have tested the camera for several months did not see the problem. Canon, you now know who to call next time!

Just maybe because it wasn't actually a problem in real world scenarios?
