Sorry to hear you missed the first batch, runandgun. Way to take it in stride though!

Thanks Seamus.

If I needed a kit, I'd be in good shape, but I already have a 24-105mm.

Of course I could always order the kit and then sell the lens. And probably come out better since the 24-105 sales for over $1,100 by itself(it only "costs" $800 when you buy it as a kit). 8)

sigh my order used to be 530xx. since i needed to cancel it and order again, my order is now 754xx .. guess i will need to wait till end of apr
If you don't want to wait, then cancel and go to another supplier... There are lots of mark iii's out there!

Thanks, yes I am going to grab one locally as I am going to a trip on Mar 31 and wish to use the MK3. I actually got some deal from B&H so that's why I am keeping it. May put it on sale for little profit . ;D

Canceled my body only preorder that I made on 7am EST 3/2 and walked over to B&H and got one of the last three kits they had in stock. This was ~3:45PM. Lucky to be close to them. =) Sounds like kits are getting pushed more than body only. Guess that makes business sense but is a sketchy trick.

For what it is worth I called Best Buy on LI and there is a store that starts with W and ends in y ;) that has 2 in stock now. They would not sell it to me. They are not allowed to let it leave the store until the March 25th.

Now to test my goods for radiation. ::) :-\

I decided to follow my own (sort of) advice above and ordered the kit from B&H with the intentions of selling the 24-105mm. I imagine there may be a lot of people doing this. One of my audio guys may be interested in one of my mkII bodies(convert him from Nikon AND to FF, Lol) and that 24-105 would go nicely with it. Either way, I probably won't have too hard of a time selling the lens and effectively making my purchase less than buying the body alone.

I have received the tracking # from B&H, but I like to play it safe and hedge my bets, so I won't cancel my original body only order from them until I receive this one tomorrow.

I placed my order on March 10th with the order number of xxxxx444xx. Didn't get into the first batch... :'(

Anyone know a good place in the SF Bay area to get one?

Sorry to hear that... Do they still have kits? Someone had posted that Best Buy had some, lot's of them around.
Good luck!

I just ordered a Body from ProFeel, delivery by Wednesday. Will call and cancel the B&H order tomorrow morning. I ordered on the 10th and am probably way down the list. Thought I could be patient because B&H has always been good to me, but I have a trip on the 31st and want to spend some quality time with the 5D3 :)

For those getting one today/tomorrow, have fun this weekend and post some shots!

Mine arrives tomorrow. but man, reading some threads on the forum about some people receiving faulty cameras scares me :o

Look on the bright side - you are not hearing anything from the vast majority of the people who already got their cameras - possibly because they are too busy having fun with their new toy to have any time to hang out on the forum ;)

Personally I am still waiting....but the UPS truck should be here within the next 3 hours....it takes a bit longer for Adorama to deliver to Europe than within the US.
