Does anyone have any information on the shipping dates of 1dx3? I am late in pre-order, ordered it just 5 days ago, but there must be others who pre-ordered much before me. Any shipping notices? Sorry if I am behaving like an excited kid.
Feb 28 is also the last weekday in February. More than likely it was just someone who heard Canon say "ships in February" and decided to set the date for the last day in February to cover their bases. I doubt that date was based on any real indication that it would actually ship on that date.Canon Price Watch is showing it still out of stock at all their listed authorized dealers. One of the dealers is showing a "ships Feb, 28" notation. About a week ago Buy Dig (authorized dealer) had some in stock according to CPW, but they are now showing it out of stock. I know that isn't much help, but maybe the Feb. 28 date is a reasonable target.
Please let me know the trick on how to order an unannounced camera. This may come handy one day. Thank you.I ordered mine before it was announced so about nine months ago. I had a 1DX MKII which I have sold. I am attending a Canon launch event for the 1DX MKIII tomorrow where their will be just one Camera on show. I will find out then when Canon intend on fulfilling orders and will post their response here.
Oh. I do not know how many cameras Canon will manufacture but this seems a lot.Just found out that there are 1,600 orders on backorder from the Canon Direct store.
If it is for just one store it seems a lot, but not a lot if it is for entire USAPlease let me know the trick on how to order an unannounced camera. This may come handy one day. Thank you.

Still waiting for mine. The dealer is hoping to get it in then next week or two.
18th Jan and from a main dealer. Coronavirus is probably holding things up too.Thx. When did you book it? And did you book it with one of the big shops?
Easy. You have a local CPS contract dealer and place an order
at whatever the thing will cost. The dealer creates a fictitious SKU
in his warehouse system and takes orders, building a waiting list.
When the product is finally released, the dealer replaces the fictitious
SKU with the real SKU, and voilà - there you have it.
You should have the money stacked by then, of course.
"Local CPS contract dealers" are only a thing in certain world areas. That's not the way Canon USA, for example, markets anything. CPS is strictly for service after purchase in the U.S.
In Germany you have to be a licensed dealer in order to buy
certain Canon products. Go to one of these. Canon lists them
on their website.
At least that is how it works for me.
