Is the last of these correct?  I ordered body only on 3/07 and my order number is 10198120xx.  Still listed as Backordered.  I guess we need more digits in the list above

You need to have a time of order.

Thanks, Atomic, for culling together this list!
The numbers seem daunting, but I'm sure after the initial rush on 3/2-3, there are a higher number of non-mkiii orders filtering in to the queue.
After all, B&H does sell things other than the 5Dmkiii, although I can't figure out why.
It's a new week, everyone! Let's hope the rumored 4/2 shipment is wrong!

order  # 10197636xx  3/2  1443 EST Backordered  body only

[jbenhartley]

Weird. I really have enjoyed B&H and will most likely continue to shop there for my non new release orders, however, I pre-ordered on the 2nd, but ended up just finding the Mark III at best buy getting ot me much sooner.  Anyhow i called B&H to cancel.  and there was 0 questions asked, no "what was wrong? how can we make this right?"  It was just, "ok, it's been cancelled"  "have a good day"

weird customer service to me.  I felt like they didn't care at all.

[visioningenuity]

I picked up my 5Dm3 at a local camera store Friday morning (Mike's Camera in Boulder).  It was a lucky hunch, I was driving past in the morning and thought I'd see if they had any.  There was one on display, and one body only in a box untouched by human hands.

In order to cancel on B&H I had to call, I could not find a way to cancel online.

[risc32]

Yes, you have to call to cancel or alter orders, and last time i did it, to return items as well. When you called to ask to have your order canceled what did you expect them to do? Bump you up in line or something? They can't really do that. Besides it's not like they keep a few bodies around just to hand out to people who complain. I'm sure they would have just assumed you got it somewhere else. How many people buy a 3500 camera body on a whim? No questions asked is a GOOD policy. They will get them out as fast as they can.

You can add me to the Backorder list:

10198200xx Ordered on 3/7.
