I ordered a body-only Mk III from Amazon on 3/7... not quite instantly like a lot of people, but it has been three weeks already. Was starting to feel frustrated like a lot of people having heard absolutely nothing about the ship date or how far up I was in the queue, when just today I received an email about my order.
At first I was excited beyond belief as the subject said "Delivery Date for your Order." Unfortunately, my estimated delivery is listed as May 9!! That's correct, not April 9th... but MAY. And I ordered just a couple of days after they went on pre-order.
Sooo... if you're thinking about going to Amazon at this point, just forget it completely... and if you didn't preorder on day 1, even you are probably better off canceling and looking elsewhere. Super frustrated!!

Similar email received here as well... I ordered from Amazon with Prime overnight shipping on March 22 (late to the party) and just now received an email saying my estimated delivery date is May 23rd...
Sucks if it is true and I will be continuing my search for a body only somewhere else. But something tells me this isn't going to be an accurate date. If nothing it does tell me to stop holding my breath.
Good luck all...

Body only -- ordered 3/11. E-mail update on 3/27 -- anticipated shipping date is 5/15.
Order also placed with BH 3/11 body only (was going to see which would get me one first). Basically no news on that order (says "backordered" on status).
3rd order with Chicago Mafia. They said I could have it today, but they want a 58% mark up.

Little frustrating... I ordered on 3/2 with next day delivery and yesterday the email said delivery date was estimated at the 29th.
I've had Amazon pull the shipping date game more than a few times in the past though where they say it's not shipping till later and the package ends up arriving before I get the actual shipping email.
Guess time will tell... still time left today for fedex to show up.

If your shipping status has changed to "Shipping Soon", your camera will ship within the next day or so...From what I understand, they are "pre-allotting" them. Meaning they are assigning cameras as soon as they are notified they are shipping to their distribution centers instead of waiting to receive them first, then assign them to pre-orders...

FYI - Have you seen this: On the www.getdpi.com forum there is an Adorama camera somebody is willing to sell for $100 off list price. This guy had ordered from two places and when he wanted to cancel the second camera they offered him a price reduction. It hasn't sold yet ASFAIK, likely because that forum is full of medium format folk. He is going to return in to Adorama, if nobody wants it.

Received e-mail from Amazon today (3/31).
Originally ordered body-only 3/11.
1st e-mail with estimated delivery: May 15th.
Today's e-mail with updated delivery time: April 18th. So be patient guys (and gals), yours also will be here sooner than you are thinking.

Another updated email, they're on fire with these now.
Today's arrival date is now April 6 - April 11 so it looks like Amazon possibly got more in shipment then they were expecting or "under promised to over deliver"
Original order: March 8
Original Shipping Email: May 8 - June 6
Edited Ship Date (as of Mar 31): April 16-19
Edited Ship Date (as of Apr 2): April 6-11
