EOS Bodies / Re: Do 5D Mark III raw files work with Lightroom 4 yet?
« on: March 21, 2012, 07:04:52 PM »
No... Not until Adobe releases an update. I am guessing it will be a few weeks. Hopefully soon though!

Best ways to protect your gear:
1.) Get State Farm Personal Policy. It is like $1.49 per $100 insured. Covers theft, you dropping it, misplacement, fire, etc... Anything but mechanical failure due to age. They even cover you if you ship that item with UPS/Fedex to Canon or whatever for service, without needing to pay for more insurance through the carrier.
2.) Pay with AMEX or another card like it, so your warranty doubles. By paying with AMEX, for me, the 1-year Canon warranty turns into a 2-year warranty.

Just heard the imaging world is not sold out of both bodys and kits... When I ordered from them about a half hour ago they still had kits left, so I should be OK. He did say I will receive tracking tonight.

« on: March 21, 2012, 12:41:28 PM »Your very welcome...he said he only had 1 or 2 extra bodies that weren't pre ordered...I guess someone got to him before you. I ship to NJ, so free ground shipping should get there tomorrow
Glad I could be of service.... Oh and I cancelled B&H and the guys said that they would probably have shipped tomorrow.....I asked how many in the first "batch" and he didnt know....
He said they literally just sold the last body a minute or so before I called online. But he had kits and promised they would ship today via overnight. Win win for me though... Sell the 24-105L for $825 or so and still come out cheaper then Adorama, by about $50. Easy enough to sell a 24-105L :p
It will be nice to have it tomorrow... Got all my exams done at school by tomorrow and can enjoy the camera!

I called them and they said they were sold out of the first shipment already, and the next would be in April 11th or something of the sort. I called 5 minutes ago.

The website does but I called and he directly checked their inventory. He said they had them today and all sold out already (the kits). Sometimes the website isn't 100% accurate. I called Profeel as well (website says in stock) and they are out today too but expect more tomorrow and Friday.

Beach no longer has in stock. I called to verify before I placed my order and he said the kit is now out and their next shipment is due April 11th or something, with 12 backorders so far.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: What's the first lens your going to test your 5DmkIII with?
« on: March 20, 2012, 10:20:03 PM »

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: Adorama 5D Mark III Pre Order Shipping & Order Status
« on: March 20, 2012, 06:41:00 PM »
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

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: 5D Mark 3 Queue @ B&H
« on: March 19, 2012, 07:24:21 PM »the market gets flooded by early next year, the street price falls to $2.5k, then I can afford one...
I highly doubt such a drastic price decrease... I mean, the 5D2 years after release were still selling for what, $2100 or 2200 used... Only $200-300 less then brand new. I have a feeling the 5D3 will be the exact same way.

Wouldn't California get stock before anybody else? Doesn't the boat carrying all the 5D3's come in at a port over on the West Coast?
That is probably why the East side of the country is a bit more delayed, if being transported via train/truck/whatever. I doubt it is by air, but I could be wrong.

EOS Bodies / Re: firmware updates?
« on: March 19, 2012, 01:20:14 PM »
Not hard at all...
1.) Format CF Card
2.) Place firmware file into first file opened on CF card (.fir file)
3.) Put camera into any creative mode, such as Av
4.) Go to firmware and click on it in-camera
5.) Follow steps to update
6.) Once complete hit "OK" and remove battery from camera for a few seconds
7.) Re-format CF card and you are all set.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Re: No Focusing Screens for 5D MIII?
« on: March 08, 2012, 09:40:27 PM »My 60d has 3 options in the custom functions for selecting what focuys sceen I have installed. And the manual says if i change the focus screen to set the custom functions correctly. Does this mean my 60d has interchangeable focus screen and the 5d MkIII does not?
Correct. But your 60D does not have the advanced transmissive LCD either displaying the grid lines, focus points, AF modes, etc...
That is the tradeoff... Focus screen or awesome viewfinder information. I will take the advanced LCD!
