Yes just you, I ordered mine around the same time and it's already turned up in Australia and I've been taking some fantastic shots all weekend, so awesome I won't post because it will make 1DX owners want to jump off a bridgejuanpesandi said:
.But seriously unless I'm missing something with the timezones wouldn't you have ordered it something like 6:00PM Friday New York time? Assuming you meant 'just ordered' as in the past hour or two since your original post.

Yes, I ordered it around that time. I'm worried.
When I check my order on their website, the image of the product says "no available" instead of showing a picture of the camera, and when I click the product it takes me to an error page saying that the product does not exist anymore.
What the hell happened? How do I cancel it?

How is the body? Does it feel similar to the 60D? Also, how's the AF system. While it may not be like 5D3s but in it's own right is it snappy and quick? Cannot wait to see some IQ and ISO comparison between 6d, 5d2 and 5d3.

Ditto....from other posts it sounds like the high ISO sensor performance is on par with the mk3 (many are saying it's actually a touch better, not enough to be WOW, but still that's awesome!!). What I haven not heard about is the AF. How not good is it? LOL. Is it like the mk2, center point spot on but anything else forget about it? I shoot weddings and am considering what my secondary body will be (a second mk3 or possibly the 6d). I like many of the things I am hearing about the sensor, basically what I want is images that don't look out of place next to mk3 images. So, if the AF is decent, this may very well be my answer. Use the 6d with a 16-35 (or maybe my 24-70), then run with the 70-200 (or primes) on the mk3. If I am shooting mostly wide angle with it, as long as the AF is halfway decent I should be OK. I rather like the idea of the weight - usually I prefer something with some weight to it (it's one of the reasons I go with a grip!), but I rather like the idea of have as lighter weight ungripped body for the last 2 hours of a reception, where your more than likely holding the camera up over peoples heads. By that point your arms are tired, so hefting a mk3 with grip after shooting most of the day with a 70-200, it hurts!!!!! (and for that kind of stuff, center point only would be fine. I also do dig doing night time long exposure stuff - at first i didn't like the whole wifi idea - but the idea of being able to control the camera via my phone, that kind of rocks!
Long story short, how is the AF???? LOL

Actually, part of me kind of digs the idea of a lighter body as well... We'll see...

If you're satisfied with just a very good center point, 6D makes more sense since @$800, you can get very good L lenses already. E.g., just add a little bit more and you have an MPE-65 or 24-105 or a 17-40. For first time budget FF users, a lens might be more important than having the amazing sports AF of 5D mark III. On top of that you also get wifi and gps. For travel photography, these features are very handy. Oh and add to that the significantly lighter body. For all-day hike for example, it will be heaven for some.

I would also be curious to learn whether the shutter feels as quick as that of the 5DIII, and whether the mirror blackout time feels as short as that of the 5DIII. These are nice advantages that the 5DIII has over the 5DII. A snappy, responsive 6D could be a nice camera.killswitch said:

I'm with you on that! Carrying a heavy camera & lens for hours and hours starts to hurt. I like the idea of a lighter but still high quality camera. This camera got bashed terribly at introduction for all sorts of perceived faults, but one thing Canon did right was to make it smaller and lighter. There is definitely a market for a smaller and lighter full-frame DSLR. I love that at the same time they are introducing improved small primes, like the 28/2.8 IS and 35/2 IS, and reducing the size & weight of the 24-70/2.8L.Chuck Alaimo said:

How does this comment make any sense? If you are a millionaire I agree. For normal people it totally doesn't make any sense at all. It is one third more. You can get an additional DX body or a great lense for that difference.
