Hi everybody, I'd just like to say we here in Russia Saint-Petersburg expect our major retailers to start selling the camera around 9-10th of May. This date was rumored since the delay was annouced. So, probably, B&H and others also will get stock and start shipping by that date.

That seems correct. Canon will accept the fix cameras about May 10th when they have shipped all the backlog!
Thanks for your input. Or course Canon has not officially informed sh!* to us, the hand that feeds them!

I dont find this logical... I think we're gonna start seeing some shipments in the few coming days... IMO canon has lost alot because of the suspension of shipments (especially that it came directly after the passover)...
In addition, yesterday i was checking b&h and i noticed they had the markiii "out of stock" and they stopped accepting preorders. Today they are accepting preorders again, so i think this proves they are awaiting some shipments soon.

That's just my opinion!

I ordered mine on the 21st of March and it's still backordered.

I did check Best Buy's website and it's sold out online but you can have it shipped to a store and I want to say it used to say (when they had them in-stock) "usually ships in 1 to 2 days" but now it says "usually ships in 3 to 5 days". So does this mean they are anticipating getting a shipment in within the next 3 to 5 days? could be something, could not be. I guess we'll see in about a week though.

I'm hearing all different dates. B&H just says "we don't know" they did say that they will be shipping orders from 3/12-3/13 range when they get their next shipment (only because that is when my order was placed) I would like a non-defective one before wedding season. 8)

I have my 5D3 on order from the main pro supplyer in Denmark.

Last week (thursday) i got an invitation to join a demo of the 5D3 and the 600EX-RT flash at the same store at May 9th.

I hope i can take my camera with me home on that date. Guess the dealer will be happy too, i'm buying some L-glass at the same time to get some rebate/goodwill !!!

;D :P

Kind regards

I want to do the same. Did your movement of invoice impact your shipment? Did you call the customer service to make it?

I just requested this through the Live chat... I asked the CS rep and he confirmed that this won't change my location in the queue...
But now that I am considering buying from somewhere else (maybe ebay as it would be the first place to find one), I won't benefit from this 220$ rebate that I got. I am sick of waiting for B&H !!!

Same deal here. Added the 24 1.4 II to my 5D3 order from March and doubled the instant rebate to $240.

The 24 will be here in two days, and will need to settle for being exercised on the 7D until the 5D3 makes its long-awaited arrival.
