Go eh! Just git 'er done. I was in Henry's Toronto today and told "next week" but they probably won't get enough to fill pre-orders. Second shipment will likely be a few weeks later. The staff are likely just guessing about how many will arrive in the first wave.

Got confirmation that my local store has only very very few, not enough to fill pre orders... but I'm #2 on the list! They said they couldn't sell it to me until tomorrow morning since Canon said they weren't allowed? (weird considering our american friends a lot have them!) Anyway, tomorrow will be a glorious day! Get in there and shoot some of this incredible spring weather we're having! ; :D

Wow Camera Canada really is on the ball with this. I'm impressed, i've never ordered anything from them seeing as i'm in Mississauga and they are in London but I definitely will from now on. I just wish I wasn't on the fence about pre-ordering when the kit was 4599, now I have to pay and extra $50. Free Lexar CF card was nice of them though and their help over the phone.

I pre-ordered mine from The Camera Store in Calgary. I'll pop by on my way back from work tomorrow afternoon and report back. I REALLY hope I'm close enough in the queue to get mine in the first shipment.

Probably because so many people ordered from the states and saved a lot of money. People not willing to do that will have no problem getting one from a Canadian retailer I suspect.

Everyone has posted useful information to this thread, except —you. Do your suspecting in another thread. Ordering from a Canadian store cost me about an extra $100, and ordering from a Canadian store is worh the extra $100 to me. The guys at Camera Canada gave me advice to get maximum value for my used gear when I sold it locally (not through them). So another + 1 to them.

I called vistek this morning, and confirmed that they have 5d3s arrived late last night and right now they're still in 'receiving'. once they're out, they'll be working on all the preorders.. not sure how much she said is true.

she did also mention that they only received half of what they're supposed to get from Canon, the rest will be shipped next week. she did also say that they ordered more than the pre-orders.. but since they only have half right now, not all pre-orders will be 'accomodated'

bummer

Thanks for all the updates guys.

I'm going to give Vistek till noon....then give them a call. If anyone else has pre-ordered from Vistek, please let us know if you're getting notified.

I'm just gitty with anticipation of getting the 5D3 in my hands! Sold my 7D 2 weeks ago and I've been jonsing every since.

I just called Camera Canada and ordered one (they still had 20 according to the CSR). I cancelled my order at B&H. Going to take a hit on the exchange at B&H but they don't seem to be on the ball and will be closed April 6th to the 15th. I didn't like my chances.
