Yep, just registered with the site to reply! :D

I ordered a kit on Crutchfield, and didn't even notice the Rewards Program until just now. Apparently any orders created after the Rewards Program began will accumulate points, and indeed, it's a $215 gift card for the $4299 kit! Awesome!

Then, with Fatwallet Fat Cash at 4% for another $172 back, this makes the camera + lens $3912 + 1% Discover cashback for me! NICE!

Thanks for posting the deal! Camera will ship tomorrow, according to Crutchfield. :)
well, i see we can buy batteries with the points, but i don't see any sandisk extreme cards...
i wonder what else they have for the camera.

They have batteries, about 30% more expensive than i've seen elsewhere, but if you look at it as getting three free batteries with purchase it's not a bad deal.

Alternatively you can get 2x32GB Lexar 400x CF for $199. That's cheaper than Amazon for that particular card.

I came late to the party and just ordered my MARK III On March 19 from B and H. Yes I know I am among a long list of people and need to be patient. However I am looking for some advice. I am going on a trip April 3 and would love to bring my new camera. Do you think I am better of waiting for My B and H Shipment or canceling the order and purchasing from another vendor. I am based in NY[/glow][/glow][/glow]C.

Why not hedge your bets? You can buy somewhere else and likely still cancel your b&h order without trouble unless the timing turns out to be terrible. B&H should be pretty good about returns (especially since you are local and can probably just opt to get your camera saved for in-store pickup)

When I called yesterday I found out they only had 19 of the body-only in stock. They apparently sold out quickly and the remaining people who ordered are placed on a backorder list. They also had no idea when the next shipment is coming in.

I can't believe I missed this thread... I was up really early too and could've easily bought it here and cancelled my amazon order... oh well. >:(

I'm still waiting for a shipping confirmation before i cancel adoramas order, i just can't believe its supposed to be here tomorrow!

Crutchfield's CS called me and confirmed that my order got shipped - 30mins after I ordered through phone - they also emailed me the UPS tracking number, which will arrive tomorrow. The next 24hrs will be VERY VERY LONG

Angry Birds has new levels today ;D

Seriously though, this is getting exciting with the new bodies out.

Thanks just ordered a body from them now. They say they are getting them today both bodies and kits. If you look at their website they say you might get the body or a kit box with the lens removed. Either way I am happy. The customer service guy said I will be covered with the amount of cameras they are getting today. :)

I just cancelled my Adorama order so whoever is on their pre-order list, just moved up a spot ;)

Do you know how many units they are receiving today?

this is scary, there is now a thread on how crutchfield told someone they would ship out today and have it by thursday at 10:30am and now they told them they made a mistake and they have none left...
i was also told mine would be here tomorrow and cannot get a shipping confirmation from them and customer service can't explain why :(

My account shows an invoice and a qty shipped!

No tracking # yet tho

Edit: Also, while I know nothing of the particular system crutchfield uses, my experience of working on fulfillment software generally suggests that by the time an Invoice # exists, the stock has actually been assigned to your order and is most likely sitting on a dock waiting for a UPS label.
