Tracking Number Received.
The 5DmIII is on its way!
Lets see how deep this goes for all the adorama orders - what time?
1DX coming but Renting a 5D3 to check it out...
LensRentals.com has a great deal on the 5DIII. About $250 for 4 days, including the Battery Grip, insurance and overnight service.
Although I already preordered a 1DX to replace my 1D4, the 5D seems like a nice second studio camera.
I rented a 24-105 from LensRentals to test last week and their service is brilliant. Fast, reliable and super easy. I totally recommend them.
Even though it is not in topic, the 24-105 has the perfect zoom range for me but the focusing speed and accuracy sucked compared to my 24-70 2.8L. 30% of the photos were out of focus or not sharp enough. Renting it gave me a chance to check it out and work for a few days and now I know it doesn't work. I already preordered the new 24-70 2.8L II from Adorama.

You're supposed to, whether or not that actually happens is another matter. I'd love to just walk into a store and pick one up today, however I put about a grand worth of amazon credit towards this purchase and couldn't afford to pay for the camera out of pocket otherwise right now.tony_e said:

How is saving almost $400 stupid? Where I live we do not have to report purchases from out of state that we didn't pay taxes on. I know of very few states that do.tony_e said:

As almost all of my purchases are through B&H and Amazon, it was painful to cancel with B&H. I waited until I got my tracking number from Kenmore Camera. I talked with them on the phone multiple times and they seemed really customer friendly. Amazing how this little family owned shop still has stock. http://www.kenmorecamera.com/p-18864-canon-eos-5d-mark-iii-body.aspx
Good luck all,
Brian

I had a pre-order in with Amazon and now I'm sitting here holding my 5D Mark III, but no thanks to Amazon. I'm surprised at what poor service they provided here. I won't be pre-ordering any more high-demand items from them again.
Thanks to this forum I went down to San Jose Camera to pick up my camera. They still have a few left, so hurry down there like I just did! I love you guys.

Good news / bad news time for B&H orders:
I just livechatted with a Customer services rep called Greg. I was patient, and asked if he could tell me if my order was likely to make the first batch, and apologised for hassling him as they must have millions of these enquiries.
Also don't forget, there were close to 2000 orders we think before me in the line (order ends 544xx)
He says my order will be filled "sometime next week"
So yay, as I don't need it until the week after. And also yay, as it's a big shipment, and I'm guessing they'll be flat out filling the orders over the weekend.
Boo for all those hoping for a camera from B&H by the weekend, I guess.
