Congrats! I have my 7D batteries all charged and ready for mine to get to me, which will likely be on Monday. Can't wait!

I upgraded from a  40D so batteries don't fit, and I have about 6 of them, bummer.  At least my CF cards will work.  Keeping the 40 for a backup camera.  Good luck on Monday

Got mine from B&H this morning around 10:15am (CDT).  Ordered yesterday afternoon (Thursday) around 2:45 (CDT) when I saw that they had the kit in stock.  Had already placed an order for the body only on Tuesday of this week but decided to change my order to the kit so I can have it this weekend.

VERY good customer service when I called B&H, processed the order change without a problem and shipped it overnight ~ 18 hours from order to having it in my hands in College Station, TX (90 miles north of Houston).

Thanks again B&H for great service!

Definition of frustration: My camera got delivered today. To my friends house, 3500 miles away.

I have to wait a week and a half to pick it up. YUCK.

Have your friend FedEx it overnight to you.

I can relate.. I just saw this on the tracking for my 5dmk3: Item was received by Canada Post after cut-off time.

So now I won't have it until after the weekend. Boourns.

That's expensive enough to negate the bonuses of getting it shipped there. I can wait. It'll just be tough. I have a music video shoot lined up for the day after I get there. So yeah...

I picked mine up yesterday and I love it so far.  New LCD is beautiful and I don't think the AF has missed once so far.  I'm still getting used to the zoom button being on the left, but no complaints otherwise.
