5DMiii at BnH or Amazon?

And since someone else mentioned bestbuy...they have pre-order too. Plus 18 months interest free financing and a % back via their reward zone card. Normally you can get a better deal with cash as B&H, but not when the item is new. BB is where I went and hopefully I won't be any later than anyone else.

Except since I live in CA, B&H don't directly charge me sales tax

Helen Oster from Adorama posted on pg1 of this thread, that allocations for sellers have not been established by Canon. Its likely that orders have not yet been placed either. Canon may give allocations based on the number of pre-orders placed, as well as past history of dealer sales performance. Amazon may have estimated how many bodies they would get, but I would not take the information as actual fact of a specific count.

We have never been given actual numbers of any new camera supplied to a dealer, that is confidential information.

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying that. I guess now the anxiety will continue building hoping that I made it in the first shipment from BH lol. I thought the anticipation/anzxiety was over once the 5D3 got announced but I was mistaken . There's nothing more to do than sit around fidgeting until the shipping confirmation appears in my inbox
