Mark - III Preorder and Delivery

[Seamus]

From all the latest posts it looks like the original release date of March 22nd is still good. If they can meet all the pre-orders is another question... Really glad I pre-order on the 2nd!

You provide no links to clarify your statement, nice.

FYI - I just got a notice from Amazon that my order is estimated to be delivered on 4/2/12 (2 day shipping). I ordered around 7AM pst on March 2nd

Yeah that is the for kit, there is no word on the body only yet.

You are correct

My Amazon ordered changed from "delivery on April 5-9"  to "shipping on April 2nd". For the kit. Ordered on March 2nd, early east coast.

+1   My order is also for the kit.   Delivery between April 5-9 still seems reasonable.

Just had my 5D III body status changed to shipped so look like they are starting to send them out from DigitalRev, that was ordered on first day they had them on their site.

Can't wait to get my hands on it, it's on 3 day DHL so should be here soon.

i just tried to get an update on my 5d iii order  and try and see where I stand in the queue. the chat b&h representative gave me nothing, this is all he said to me:

Simon R:  The backorder email update goes out every 2 weeks
Simon R:  Your place in line information is held as internal and confidential and as such is not available to customer service agents to disclose. I am sure you could appreciate the sensitivity of this information and it would not be prudent for this to be in the public domain.

I made my order on the 5th, hopefully ill get it before the end of the month

9 days? where did you order from

I'll receive my 5d3 in 9 Days, 21 Hours, 52 Minutes.

Camera Canada, link off the main page from here.

Yeah I ordered from there a few days ago and was told this "We are getting our shipment in before March 22nd and they will ship on March 22nd and we are getting enough to fill all orders. We have a huge amount on order with Canon and they are giving us a large allocation."
So they anticipate all pre orders going out pretty quick.

Seems in UK -
Kits delivered by today 16th to dealers
Bodies arriving at dealers by Monday 26th

And also - Canon increases their sales of 24-105mm lenses for some reason
