5D Mark III is in-stock!!

[NutsAndBolts]

I believe I am. I want to support it, since its a quality store that deserves money even if I have to pay all the taxes. They got body only from what they told me, and they got 15. If those details help anyone out who's curious.

I just got a call from my local shop also! I will be going to pick one up after work ;D

 

[Drama79]

OK, so if there are stores in the US selling them, it's safe to say there isn't a sales embargo.
Which means either:

Larger centres haven't received their orders yet, due to different carriers.

OR

The have, and are processing them into inventory before emailing out.

Either way, it'll happen. Breathe, people.

If Horn Photo has extras, I'm almost tempted to cancel my BH preorder and drive 3.5 hours up there from Los Angeles to pick one up!

 

[Kane]

Has anyone in Canada got a mark iii yet or heard of any store receiving stock?

 

[Chris Geiger]

I asked at Horn photo and all 6 bodies they ordered were spoken for. They expect another small shipment later this week but by then I think they will be instock everwhere. I still have a kit order I am waiting for from amazon but no word at all from them.

I have a wedding to shoot this weekend but I dont know if I'll be shooting it with Nikon or Canon at this point.

James just sent me the first Canon EOS 5D Mark III on-the-street sighting notice:

"The 5D3 is in stock and for sale at The Digital Centre, 38 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 1BZ, UK"

In stock is the with-24-105 L Lens kit. I'm sure that we will see the 5D Mark III showing up everywhere very soon.

GOT MY COPY !!! Thanks Peoria Camera Shop. First in Peoria IL

Post pics or it didn't happen ;D Also, was it a kit or body only?

I sense a troll trying to be fed.....

I tried to upload this shot yesterday from my Samsung Galaxy, didnt realize it didnt end up going through and was too busy out shooting my new 5D3 to check. I got the body only, 1 of 2 recieved. Someone posted that Peoria Camera doesnt list them as being sold there and hes right, they told me it isnt something they plan on stocking because our other local store, Tallyns, gets most of the pro level buisness. For whatever reason, they did end up ordering 2, I was #1 on there list and one other guy paid in advance. I was there when the ups guy dropped them off. I called Tallyns to find out if theirs were in yet and they told me they were only expecting 2 yesterday also. I got a call early yesterday from another shop in Tennessee that I did a pre order with via a tip from CPS and they told me they had them in stock. I was number 2 on their pre order there, but decided to go local after a bad experience with my 7D purchase online and wished I bought from a brick and morter store. As for me being a troll, think what you want... look at the exif data from the uploaded image.

BTW,... Here is a link to my website with a few images I took right after I took possession of the 5D III yesterday. The first 4 images were with the 5d III. The 2 hawk images, the goose and one HDR shot. The HDR shot has some pixel bender oil paint done to it, the goose had virtually nothing done to it and the hawks had only slight NR. All shot in raw. Exif data available by clicking the "I" when hovering over image. http://www.chesterphotography.net/Other/Scenery/16592348_7sKXsd#!i=1757583225&k=FQNJFXr

Calumet just called and my 5D MKIII is on it's way.

 

[bobkeenan]

eBay in stock

Interesting.... I see 14 different listings for the 5dmkiii. Prices from $3400-5000. Many are in the US not HK.

on it's way from or to Calumet? I'm in SF and am going to attempt to find a camera locally rather than waiting for BH...

Great shot of the Red-Tail Hawk! (EF 100-400mm L lens?)

When I looked at the shot of the bridge, I said to myself: "Well, that's not HDR." So, I went back to your post to make sure I had read it correctly... Then I went back and checked the Exif data. BTW, did you have it save the original files? (Would be interested in seeing them.)

 

[scotty512]

if you go to the jessops website it is showing that you can order and collect today from any of their central london sites

btw - where is the cheapest price some one has seen in the UK
I have pre-ordered the MKiii with 24-105 lens for £3,480

 

[Gkaz]

Mike's Camera in Visalia, CA sold one to a friend of mine yesterday for the MSRP price. It was the only body they had gotten in. Evidently, Calif stores are being stocked with the cameras.

 

[K-amps]

I picked up mine in Indianapolis. They got it in stock today. Good news moving West to east ! ;D

Ya, thats with my 100-400L. The bridge shot wasn't done using the on camera HDR function, rather a +,- 2 stop 3 shot bracket if I recall correctly and merged using HDR Pro in Photoshop. I haven't messed with the on camera HDR yet.

I called them a while ago go ask about this - got just the standard response that they did not have the cameras or the kits yet, they did not know when they would be arriving or whether they would get enough kits to meet the kit preorders. Moreover, he said he just was not able to tell me whether my chances of getting a kit if I ordered one now would be lower or higher than getting my body-only current preorder filled.

The poor guy was really trying to be helpful, but I sensed he was getting a bit frustrated - I guess I am not the only one calling because of the 5D3 ... and I guess many of those calling are getting annoyed because the cameras are showing up in local stores, but the Adorama and B&H customers are ... well, feeling left out.

 

[jlev23]

thanks, well at least posting this question gave them one less phone call to deal with.
i wish they just offered this deal the first night.
