Photo Expert told me they will be getting in bodies this week, and asked if I wanted one since I e-mailed about pre-ordering. Their pricing has consistently been the best I've found in Canada (though you have to ask), and I've bought all my DSLRs from them in the past. Unfortunately, I am stuck with my B&H pre-order whenever they actually ship it to me, because of their lousy policy of immediately charging all international orders, including pre-orders. I cannot cancel my order because I would lose the currency exchange fees on both the initial charge as well as the order refund.
Very clear about your order policy there, B&H.

I was on the Vistek webpage yesterday for any updates on the availability and the price on both the body only and kit were reduced by $100.00; today, its back up to its regular price of $3799 and $4649 respectively.
Did anyone else notice this?
I've preordered at Vistek and they indicated March 22 (tomorrow! yeah!) availability and that they would have "no issue" filling pre-orders. This is just me speculating, but I bet they've had this in house for days and just waiting to release them into the wild!

Re: Any Canadian 5dmkIIIs yet???
Well, that can go and apply to many things, as far as a 5d3, mine is to ship tomorrow, or so I was told.

Also noticed the rebate on Vistek's page. My read is that they hadnt sold out on the initial allocation so decided to discount to make sure they sold out. That probably worked and that's why they've upped the price now. Doesn't look like stock will be an issue at this stage...

I noticed this yesterday too. Today only Henry's is has them at $100 off. I called the downtown Toronto store and asked if they thought they would have any demos I could get my hands on and he was unsure. He did however put my name on a 'no obligation' list and he mentioned he may have it for me as soon as tomorrow.
Henry's offer an additional 3yr warranty on the 24-105 kit for $469 - does anyone have any experience with this? Is it worth it (besides the obvious, "if you don't ever need it - it was a waste of money")?

Good copies of 24-105 can be had for 850-900 on the used market so I don't think almost a $500 premium for insurance would be worth it unless you are planning to give it a real beating for the next three years. Also consider that you may want to resell within the three years and you may not be able to recoup that money having to compete with other ones priced below $900.
If the warranty is for the whole kit, it may be different a bit. This is a really expensive camera after all so an extended warranty may be justified if you are planning to make money with it.

I just called Camera Canada, they said they don't have the 5d3 in-store yet, but said they are shipping tomorrow. Canon Canada is cutting that close with delivery. They must ship UPS or FedEx, as Canada post would f*ck that up. I've been waiting two years, so the last few days are the worst —I want it for this weekend.

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.

Just got off the phone with Camera Canada and things are looking good for alot if not all of their pre-orders. The exact words were "we just got dumped on by the canon fairy" 
Hopefully we are all in the safe zone, I was told that things are being organized right now and they are going to be getting things ready to ship, and prep for tomorrow. Not sure if that means calls or emails but they shouldn't be far off.
