5DIII pre-order thread

[Waiting on Godot]

Agreed. Considering how many times I've contacted Amazon (and the responses I've received), I'm skeptical until I see screenshots.

Screenshot? There are two here: http://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php/topic,4430.msg93877.html#msg93877

Indeed. Color me a believer. And a jealous one at that! There must be a correlation between shipping priority and destination relative to distribution center. Here's to hoping...

B&H orders are now shipping. My body-only order #528xx shipped today. Expected delivery is Monday via UPS 2-day.

Just got off the phone with the guy at Norman Camera (4:00 CST), and I'm going to have one tomorrow.

Has anyone received a shipping notice from Amazon that ordered the 5D3 w/24-105 kit? I ordered my kit on 3/2 at 9:30AM PST and received an email that my order would ship on April 2nd. The Amazon website currently says my order "Not yet shipped".

Are bodies shipping first, then kits?

Reverse Order

Funny how the cameras were announced:
1Dx --> D4 --> D800 --> 5D3

And they are being released:
5D3 --> D800 --> D4 --> 1Dx

I just don't understand.

I suppose it depends upon how one defines out. There are like 4 people who have them.

The D4 did come out first, I have a friend that has one.

I preordered a D4 over a month ago to use with a 200-400 lens... nothing. crickets. I ordered a 5D3 last night and it's already on its way to my house. But I suppose technically I'm wrong, even though nobody has one.

Waiting is over...mine just arrived

I pick mine up Monday when I get back from a trip I am on. Cancelled B&H-I was a March 6 pre-order. Got on a short waiting list from a local store and hour+ drive from where I live. I was 6th on their waiting list but they had a kit with the 24-105. I had a buyer lined up for my 5D2 (my son-in-law) asked if he wanted a kit lens as well. He said yes, we struck a deal and today I bought the 5D3 with kit lens!! If I was home it'd be in my hot little hands. I got the idea to go local or other sources form you Dylan, so thanks! If I waited for my pre-order it wouldn't have arrived until the end of the month or early April - at least for those of you in a similar time frame, I hope my calculations are wrong. Atlesat those behind me are one spot closer. To all, ENJOY whenever you get yours!

Has anyone else heard from Adorama? Sales reps seem to be very unreliable.....they tell me they haven't received any MIII's but I see confirmations on this thread. Calling around now.

I was told that the one I ordered from Adorama, definitely didn't make it on the first batch...it still says pending. That was yesterday about noon pacific.

Also have the "Pending", I feel it will be worth the wait. People are posting footage and unboxing videos, waiting to see what Phillip Bloom has to say about it.

 

[bkdavill]

Phillip Bloom's take.

Cameta.com is 100% certain that they will be getting in a shipment today (Body Only), he has Kits on hand. Between them and Adorama we will see who gets my money first.
