UK Preorders

[EIREHotspur]

Can someone post up when it is available to preoder in the UK.

I am in Ireland but buy stuff from the UK as it is way cheaper.

Looking forward to getting my hands on one as soon as it is possible.
Hopefully Magic Lantern can do their stuff on the new camera and give us Clean HDMI out which is the only thing I need extra from the 5d3.

This link at SLR Hut is quoting a very attractive price for us here in the UK. It says they have stock, which they obviously don't! http://slrhut.co.uk/product/ID982C5/5260a002-_Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-III-Digital-Camera-_Body-Only_-/

Don't forget to add the 20% VAT. Also, I wonder whether it comes with a Canon warranty? Whatever the price, to be honest I'd feel much safer buying from a well known established UK based company.

Regarding the stock, they might well have stock although they won't be able to release it until 22nd March.

Never heard of them.
Also, that cost is exactly $3500 run through a currency exchange site. As already said, where's the VAT? couple that with the assurance that it's in stock - I'd beware...

Quote from the CR homepage:

"Below are the items that will be available for purchase in late March.
Canon 5D Mark III Body $3499"

Converting $3499 to GB Pounds and adding 20% VAT gives approximately £2670, so does anyone know why the UK asking price is nearer £3000 ???

SLR Hut is a scam. Please remove any references to it from here. I had posted 5d mkii deals from this retailer before and been told exactly this. After looking on google it definately sounds dodgey.
