Someone just posted this in another forum, he took the picture in a camera store in China.
You guys who ordered from Amazon or B&H shouldn't wait much longer.
The seller said the retail price for body only is 20800RMB which is $3287 according to today's exchange rate.

CR: "There was a lot of confidence from a couple of the retailers that initial preorders would be filled very quickly and that Canon had a lot of initial inventory of the camera."

Boy do I hope this is true! 9 days and counting! ;D

Music to my ears....I put my pre-order through BH at 9AM california time. I'm not sure if I'm lucky enough to receive 5D III in the 1st shipment. Even though I don't have any big events coming, but still I want that 5D III in my hand NOW NOW NOW :o :o :o

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

Wow those are huge boxes!
it takes quite a lot of space to put a camera body + 24-105 lens inside ;)

Interesting - I had read somewhere that the initial shipments would be bodies only and that the kits would perhaps be delayed until June - that is good news.
i don't know about this. my comment was purely based on the box in the picture itself, wich says it's a 24-105 kit. it reminded me of the box where my 5D mk II with 24-70 was in, that was also a pretty large one.
