5D Mark III is in-stock!!

[grahamsz]

I ordered the kit. Not sure if that matters.

What shipping method did you use?

I got this email from them:

  "Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens"
   Estimated arrival date: April 03, 2012

Though I picked next day delivery, so that should be a 4/2 ship. It'll be interesting if they are already planning different ship dates because they know they have multiple shipments coming in

Wow those are huge boxes!

it takes quite a lot of space to put a camera body + 24-105 lens inside

Interesting - I had read somewhere that the initial shipments would be bodies only and that the kits would perhaps be delayed until June - that is good news.

i don't know about this. my comment was purely based on the box in the picture itself, wich says it's a 24-105 kit. it reminded me of the box where my 5D mk II with 24-70 was in, that was also a pretty large one.

I'm wondering why Amazon Germany is not accepting pre orders for the mark II yet.... 

EDIT Mark III I meant of course

It's not even listed there. Plenty of other shops do offer pre-ordering for quite some time now.
Very strange indeed and pretty unusual...

I didn't know there was a 24-70 offered as a kit lens. Was it in North America?

Great news! Any news that supports the March release date is awesome. Less than two weeks to go!

A few days ago when I checked, Amazon UK didn't have it either.

I buy a lot from Newegg all the time, but nothing ever on Preorder.  They do have it now on their website for Preorder, but sad to see the Canon 5D Mark III body is to be release on 3/31/2012. Maybe they are playing safe.

I have a prime membership which is always 2 day shipping. That's also what is now says is selected. I just mentioned in another thread that the status changed from "arriving April 5-9" to "shipping on April 2nd".

I work at a camera dealership in Ohio, and we're slated to get a small quantity of bodies 'late this week'.   I'm curious to compare the size/feel to my MII.

Wonder if it's true?

[tt]

It's true.
It's also excluding VAT, and any other Customs & Excise charges, handling fees and curious delays in Customs whilst they send you out a letter with a number on it to pay these charges.

20% of 2,500? £500.
£2,500 + £500? Hmm....

Preorders have been available in the US since announcement date, but if you wait until it is in stock it's no longer a preorder, just an order.

@Axilrod, Well I have pre-ordered 5D3, was just was getting excited that item is showing up as "in stock" in some other part of the world. Impressive gear you got in your kitty !!
