Adorama 5D Mark III Pre Order Shipping & Order Status

[ssimmonsphoto]

Although I highly doubt that I'll be in the first wave to get theirs, I figured that it'd be nice for those of us who did preorder through Adorama to see when they start shipping and showing up. So, anyone have a status other than pending?

The silence is deafening..........

My F5 finger is starting to hurt.

I had preordered the second the page went live.  Just cancelled because I found it locally.  Tough luck Adorama.

My order on Adorama appears to be "pending" which I think is different from previously when it was "backordered."  I ordered on Mar 5. Still no charge on card.

Mine has been pending for a very long time.  Since close to the time I ordered.  I'd say I ordered around the first 5 minutes.

Mine still says pending as well.  I ordered 3/2 at 7:36AM EST.

Pending... but I just got it a couple of hours ago with the special bundle deal that they just posted today. Here's something to consider: would you be willing to give up your place in line, cancel your order and re-buy the great bundle? It's quite a deal. The super fast 32gb sd card is worth over $100 and the Canon backpack is a nice one. I actually like Knoll Light Factory as well.

I THOUGHT I was an early order, having ordered at 7:40 am Pacific time on March 2. But now I am starting to worry that I may not be among the first shipment. Sigh--I wonder if I should bite the bullet and call my local store, though then I need to pay the local tax, which adds over $300 to the cost...

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

Still "Pending". Confirmation email received 00:47 Eastern on March 2nd.

I'm kinda hoping that they will not process mine before my cc billing cutoff of 3/22.  That would give me almost 30 days more to pay.

Mine has said the following since I placed the order:
Phase #1:  Pending March 02, 2012 / SubTotal: $3,499.00 / Tax: $0.00 / Shipping $0.00 / Total: $3,499.00
Canon EOS-5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera Body, 22.3 Megapixels - USA Warranty
(ICA5DM3)
Status: Pending

On March 3rd, and again on March 16th, I received email notices from Adorama stating my order was still "Backordered" 

I'm with the rest of you playing the waiting game

I did it through Adorama since I got 2% cash back through ebates, which saved me about $70. Got the cash back immediately even though my credit card hasn't been charged.

And to the PP that posted about the package, I have no need for the backpack nor the bundled software, so I'll save my money (and keep my spot in line).

I placed order about 10:45 pm PST on 3/1.  Still showing phase 1 pending.
