5D Mark III is in-stock!!

[Kernuak]

I'm wondering why Amazon Germany is not accepting pre orders for the mark II yet.... ???

EDIT Mark III I meant of course

It's not even listed there. Plenty of other shops do offer pre-ordering for quite some time now.
Very strange indeed and pretty unusual...

A few days ago when I checked, Amazon UK didn't have it either.

I buy a lot from Newegg all the time, but nothing ever on Preorder. They do have it now on their website for Preorder, but sad to see the Canon 5D Mark III body is to be release on 3/31/2012. Maybe they are playing safe.

I ordered the kit. Not sure if that matters.

What shipping method did you use?

I got this email from them:

"Canon EOS 5D Mark III 22.3 MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens"
Estimated arrival date: April 03, 2012

Though I picked next day delivery, so that should be a 4/2 ship. It'll be interesting if they are already planning different ship dates because they know they have multiple shipments coming in

I have a prime membership which is always 2 day shipping. That's also what is now says is selected. I just mentioned in another thread that the status changed from "arriving April 5-9" to "shipping on April 2nd".

I work at a camera dealership in Ohio, and we're slated to get a small quantity of bodies 'late this week'. I'm curious to compare the size/feel to my MII.

Wonder if it's true?

 

[tt]

It's true.
It's also excluding VAT, and any other Customs & Excise charges, handling fees and curious delays in Customs whilst they send you out a letter with a number on it to pay these charges.

20% of 2,500? £500.
£2,500 + £500? Hmm....

Preorders have been available in the US since announcement date, but if you wait until it is in stock it's no longer a preorder, just an order.

@Axilrod, Well I have pre-ordered 5D3, was just was getting excited that item is showing up as "in stock" in some other part of the world. Impressive gear you got in your kitty !!

For $3780 it's not surprising they have it IN stock hah.
That's really a nuts price.

My thoughts exactly! Especially when you can buy the same thing locally for not much more and get a full Canon Australia warranty! Not sure what DigitalRev have been thinking lately, they're usually at least $1000 less than local prices.

But that price is in US $ isn't the AU price of the body somewhere around 49,999 AU$? Ok, so not really that much, but you guys sure have to pay out the nose for everything.

Digital Rev prices are always high in US dollars, but to those in the UK, they might look much better. I believe they also get a warranty.

Sorry! We must be seeing different things when we open the link because of our location, when I click it, it shows up in AUS dollars

 

[wickidwombat]

with that price better off just ordering from leederville camerahouse at $3599 and get the canon oz warranty

Precisely my point wombat! DR has lost the plot on this one.

... it reminded me of the box where my 5D mk II with 24-70 was in, that was also a pretty large one.

I didn't know there was a 24-70 offered as a kit lens. Was it in North America?

nope, i bought mine in the netherlands (europe). don't know if north america does not have this kit. i do know there's also a 24-105 kit available here. the 5D mark III is also available to pre-order as a 24-105 kit or with the new 24-70 II.

 

[odie]

It's in stock in Hong Kong as of today. I got a call from a worker at Fortress that the kit package is ready to be picked up.

I'll get it tomorrow morning

Re: funny in stock (5D Mark III)

Well that is quite lame, I was hoping for a break for those down under. It shows me the exact same price in US dollars so I was hoping the site was just misrepresenting the currency.
