Could be awhile at 1000 units a pop for me. 618XX on 3/2 at 1:33 pm CST. Body only. :-\

Just get it from somewhere else.

My B&H preorder number was XXXX812XXX, placed on the 7th... god knows how many batches down I would've been. Cancelled and ordered from Profeel and it should be in my hands by Monday.

A bit confused why so many are sticking to their BH preorder so fervently, and bemoaning the wait ahead of them. Smaller shops all over the place have them in stock, ready to ship (most had them ready to roll apparently before B&H even received their first shipment which boggles the mind). As stated before though, this is not B&H's fault - can you imagine the heart palpitations their executives are having?

I'd like to but I personally need the Bill Me Later option. If someone else has extra bodies in stock with that option so I can have it by 4/3, I'd definitely look that direction.

I was 660XX on 3/2 at B&H. Got scared this morning waiting for that damn status to change to "Shipped," so I called every camera store in NYC. After calling about 7 different places, K&M in Chinatown told me they had a couple in the back, but were reserved for pre-orders. Then I begged. And they said they felt bad for me and would give me one. They also have D800s for those that are interested/in the NYC area.

Chatted with B&H. #574xxx body only might be fulfilled on next shipment which is expected on April 2. :(

I was close then - I was 544xx (you added an extra x!) body only, and mine is in this batch. Nice that they've said their next batch is due on a certain date. Sucks that that's in two weeks though :(

Just spoke with a customer service rep at B&H, because I was going to change my shipping IF mine was going to go out today, but no dice... Ordered on 3/2, 597xx and I didn't make the first batch cut. He said they think the next batch should be in in a week to week and a half.

I don't really need it, but it would have been nice to have it this weekend since I'm home and off and have a perfect opportunity to use it on Saturday. Guess I'll just have to use my two 5DmkII's ;)

I'm not going to pile on B&H like a lot of people have, because I've had a long and good professional relationship with them and they are at the mercy of when they receive the merchandise from manufacturers and distributors, but it is weird that they seem to be the last one's to the party, so to speak.

Thanks for the tip. Couldn't find a place that had them in stock. Just ordered from Profeel too and cancelled my B&H.
