FYI, I stopped by Penn Camera in DC today, and they told me the warehouse has 20 kits (no body-only yet). All but 4 are pre-purchased. They should be making their way to the stores this week.
Yep. Called my local Penn Camera in Virginia and they had two kits come in, one was pre-sold. The other wasn't so I snagged it.
Wasn't really planning on getting a 24-105 today...

Actually, Canon USA doesn't care about the warranty card. They only want to see the sales receipt. Even if you have the warranty card, they'll still demand the sales receipt, and if you have the sales receipt they won't ask for the warranty card.
They just want to know when you bought it and from whom.
I called Canon and they said the same thing. Thanks for the info!

Same here bro, I call and in and they refuse to talk about it. I say other companies are shipping and that say "we are unable to provide you any more information at this time."
I posted above that my 9/17 Amazon order is in the Shipping Soon phase and can no longer be canceled. Strangely it also says no shipping estimate, but I figure that's just amazon weirdness. I'll update here if it ships, but really I wouldn't be surprised if more start shipping in the next few days from amazon.
Has anyone going through Calumet get theirs yet? It seems they are the very last large-retailer to get them out.
I am 9/22 pre-order, and havent heard anything except mixed stories anywhere from "we havent got them yet and don't know when they'll come in", to "only enough for the first day of 9/17 orders", to "We already shipped for the early preorders and the next shipments are every 2 weeks", to "your 9/22 is safe and you should be getting it within the first shipment", to "you may have to wait for the 2nd or 3rd shipment".
Maybe the whole 5D-II thing is one big conspiracy? Maybe the 21mpx sensors actually do add thousands to the cost of the camera and Canon is taking a big loss on each 5D-II in order to bluff Nikon on the D3x? (they didn't take the bait) Canon are limiting their losses by only producing a very limited supply of 5D-II, just enough to supply the on-line reviewers and high profile professionals. Everyone else is told "it will ship soon!"
I ordered through WolfCamera and haven't heard anything yet, except for an email every now and then saying they havent forgotten about me. Anyone else get theirs through Wolf?

I think the blue-dot versions are supposed to start shipping January 5th.

yes, i ordered a "body only" through calumet and it is due to arrive tomorrow...my understanding is that they actually got their initial shipment in last week, but due to the holiday, were unable to ship via ups until yesterday....

Wolf and Ritz are the same company. Ritz users are getting their cameras.
