Pre orders are starting to be delivered to Olympic Photographers and big news agencies, you are not going to find one sitting in a store for 6 months or more.
I talked one of the shops with which I Pre-ordered (i'm in the US). They said they expect to receive their first shipments the first week of July, and there's a CHANCE I can receive mine after the 4th. they of course can't make any promises. But this is what they've been told by Canon. I tend to believe them. They were among the first to receive the 5diii's. I got mine from them way back in march. So we'll see. All I can surmise from all the info out there, is its likely some those who Pre-ordered may be getting theirs in the next couple of weeks -c

That sucks, the whole idea was to take photos at low light of fireworks ((((Yeah I was also told by my retailer that they expecting shipment first or second week of July... so hope to get it soon...
Sounds like they'll be coming in very slowly. B&H won't tell me how many people are in front of me for the 1D X.My order number was xxxxx855xx, and I ordered the morning of March 14. Anyone have a lower order number?
My local AD told me the latest news they heard from Canon last week was they'll be getting a batch in by the end of July... then, the rep promptly said "given the recent delays, I wouldn't be surprised if late July turned into August".

I ordered on the day when the preordering started, and probably 4 hours after it was open for preordering.
