Waiting is over...mine just arrived

Funny how the cameras were announced:
1Dx --> D4 --> D800 --> 5D3

And they are being released:
5D3 --> D800 --> D4 --> 1Dx

I just don't understand.

I suppose it depends upon how one defines out. There are like 4 people who have them.

I preordered a D4 over a month ago to use with a 200-400 lens... nothing. crickets. I ordered a 5D3 last night and it's already on its way to my house. But I suppose technically I'm wrong, even though nobody has one.

Waiting is over...mine just arrived 

I pick mine up Monday when I get back from a trip I am on.  Cancelled B&H-I was a March 6 pre-order.  Got on a short waiting list from a local store and hour+ drive from where I live. I was 6th on their waiting list but they had a kit with the 24-105.  I had a buyer lined up for my 5D2 (my son-in-law) asked if he wanted a kit lens as well.  He said yes, we struck a deal and today I bought the 5D3 with kit lens!!  If I was home it'd be in my hot little hands.  I got the idea to go local or other sources form you Dylan, so thanks!  If I waited for my pre-order it wouldn't have arrived until the end of the month or early April - at least for those of you in a similar time frame, I hope my calculations are wrong. Atlesat those behind me are one spot closer. To all, ENJOY whenever you get yours!

Has anyone else heard from Adorama? Sales reps seem to be very unreliable.....they tell me they haven't received any MIII's but I see confirmations on this thread. Calling around now.

I was told that the one I ordered from Adorama, definitely didn't make it on the first batch...it still says pending. That was yesterday about noon pacific.

Also have the "Pending", I feel it will be worth the wait. People are posting footage and unboxing videos, waiting to see what Phillip Bloom has to say about it.

Phillip Bloom's take.

Cameta.com is 100% certain that they will be getting in a shipment today (Body Only), he has Kits on hand. Between them and Adorama we will see who gets my money first.
