onecall.com has 5d mark iii (body only) in stock.
I just got a notification e-mail.
I also ordered a lens with it, and I had to talk to the CSR to get the double rebate applied.
Note Onecall salesmen aren't informed about the double rebate for some reason.
Point them to:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/newsLetter/Canon-Double-Rebates-2.jsp
and ask them to confirm it with their Purchasing department. They'll correct your invoice.


I also called J&R and they said today they received 20 bodies today, shipped them all out.
There's still 'a couple dozen' on the queuu.

Thank you sooo much for referring OneCall.com! I just ordered mine with overnight shipping ;D I'm just hoping I don't get a bad surprise stating that they ran out before I got my order in, that would just be horrid! :'( Did you order from there as well?

You didn't seriously think I'd post that without getting my order in first, did ya?
;D

I didn't do overnight shipping - I'm just happy to get one in reasonable speed.
BTW, I found out via their 'in stock' e-mail notification. I'll have to remember that for next time.

ordered April 17th from J&R
just got an email saying that they're shipping it today! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

edit: my order was the body only

That is truly agonizing to hear, I ordered mine 4/17 from B&H and I am guessing I am at least two weeks away. But good for you.

Yes it says shipped and should be here by 10:30 am!!

AND those crazy people from J&R.....They first sent me email saying that my order is on the backorder so i decided not to cancel and wait for onecall to send me shipping confirmation first....so in the evening - i got TWO shippment notifications in a row - from one call and one from J&R!! My credit card had a heart attack, i think :))) Anyone needs a camera in MA?

For those interested in discussing *B&H* 5DMkIII shipments...

Order #1020042xxx (body only),
Ordered 3/28/12
Status: "Backordered"

Another email from B&H this morning says,

"One or more items from this purchase are still out of stock as we haven't
yet received the merchandise from our supplier. We are sorry for any
inconvenience this may have caused. We will keep you posted on a weekly basis...."

In other news, the three 32GB Sandisk cards I ordered this week arrived without delay. /facepalm

update:
I spoke with a rep at B&H just now who's said that, yes, they did get a shipment in recently and that they are now out of stock again. He said they "do not know when [they] can expect another shipment."

does anyone think it will be wise to pre order instead of just waiting for them to be in stock and then picking whatever shipping option seems best at the time. Do you think the next shipment will be enough for pre orders and also to have some in stock?

The last batch Has covered orders made between march 8 and march 22. So it covered 2 weeks...
But i guess those 2 weeks had more orders than the month from march 22 till april 22...
I would guess the next batch might cover all orders made before end of april... Just guessing

J&R sent me a notice that mine is backordered and who knows they will ever get it in....
