I ordered mine from B&H on 3/23 and still no ship notice.  It seems like 3/23 might be the cut off date for now.  Hope next week will be it....

Yes it says shipped and should be here by 10:30 am!!

AND those crazy people from J&R.....They first sent me email saying that my order is on the backorder so i decided not to cancel and wait for onecall to send me shipping confirmation first....so in the evening - i got TWO shippment notifications in a row - from one call and one from J&R!! My credit card had a heart attack, i think ) Anyone needs a camera in MA?

For those interested in discussing *B&H* 5DMkIII shipments...

Order #1020042xxx (body only),
Ordered 3/28/12
Status: "Backordered"

Another email from B&H this morning says,

"One or more items from this purchase are still out of stock as we haven't
yet received the merchandise from our supplier. We are sorry for any
inconvenience this may have caused. We will keep you posted on a weekly basis...."

In other news, the three 32GB Sandisk cards I ordered this week arrived without delay.  /facepalm

update:
I spoke with a rep at B&H just now who's said that, yes, they did get a shipment in recently and that they are now out of stock again. He said they "do not know when [they] can expect another shipment."

does anyone think it will be wise to pre order instead of just waiting for them to be in stock and then picking whatever shipping option seems best at the time.  Do you think the next shipment will be enough for pre orders and also to have some in stock?

The last batch Has covered orders made between march 8 and march 22. So it covered 2 weeks...
But i guess those 2 weeks had more orders than the month from march 22 till april 22...
I would guess the next batch might cover all orders made before end of april... Just guessing

hmm, anyone know about other places besides B&H that might be a faster option?? <- becoming very impatient.

any updates guys

I bailed on my B&H order (April 17) and jumped on one of the available units at Cameta Camera last Wednesday.  I almost always order from B&H but based on the anecdotal feedback from others regarding J&R, OneCall and Adorama - B&H seems to have a longer queue than anyone else.

When did it leave J&R stores ? Is this a new batch from canon delivered this week, or this is from last week ?

[canoff]

Can anyone tell me who I should "back order" from to get it soonest? Sounds like b&h is just too popular, but will they be receiving more because of that??? I need body only.
