I just check in the B&H thread and they are not too happy. So far, it looks like Adorama is in the lead!

Just checked Adorama and there doesn't appear to be a "pre-order" on the kit. It's IN STOCK~!

Are you sure that's in stock?

It shows "New item available for pre-order. You may place this on order now and it will be shipped on a first come first serve basis. We do not charge your card until we actually ship the item to you."

Didnt know that!

I ordered it yesterday with the combo deal they have. My order is now listed as PACKED!

[kirispupis]

I missed out on the combo deal which is a bummer but I placed an order and they verified that it will ship either today or at latest tomorrow.  I canceled my order with B&H.  For the record both Adorama and B&H were very friendly and helpful over the phone - but the spoils go to those who can supply the camera.

B&H did mention that they believed it would ship on Monday, but I have a view house to photograph this weekend and would like to have the 5D3 handy for it.

BTW. Thank you for reporting this as thanks to the info here I should have my camera this weekend.

SAME HERE~!!!!!

Guess they must have a lot of kits on hand. Either way, I'm really really excited!!

Edit:

I just received my tracking number from Adorama. Ordered the kit yesterday and it's shipping either today or tomorrow. Can't be any happier! Really glad I cancelled my BH pre-order and went for the kit bundle. THANK YOU ADORAMA!
