Ben, I originally had a pre-order through Amazon but they F'd it up. I found some in stock at MPEX.com but nothing right now. I would go find Canon's authorized retailers list and search their sites.
Anyone received 5D3 body from Amazon & BH yet or just from local shops?
Just checked Dell, page saying shipping in 24 hours Anyone having trust in Dell stock info?

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately Dell just ran out of stock. Keep the links coming, and I will hopefully be able to act on it quickly enough.
Cheers
I ordered from BestBuy on March 28th. This evening I received an email saying it is ready for pick at the local store. Will pick it up tomorrow after work.
It seems like the local retail stores are getting priority over online shops. I went and bought mine at Foto Forum here in Phoenix. Tempe Camera sold out of their first batch but they were getting in another batch this week.
Sales tax really hurts but it sure beats waiting for online orders. I kinda like supporting the local guys as there arent many left, the online vendors have put most of them out of business.
I called them this morning and they were out of both body and kits and wasn't sure when they will be getting any. I ordered the kit form adorama today. They had those in stock but not the body alone.

I just ordered one from Dell...They have 2 more in-stock! Quick if you're looking for one!
Forget I ever mentioned Dell! I'm am super pissed at them now.
I ordred on Sunday and paid for overnight shipping. They shipped it on Monday and for delivery today (Tue). 6pm rolls around and FedEx tells me Dell requested the camera be send back to them. I never got any e-mail from Dell and by the time I called their customer care line was closed.
This is the last time I'm ever ordering anything from Dell...a horrible operation!

Actually this is why I didn't order from Dell even I knew they have some in stock. They are very strange on shipping and stock info. i am waiting until BH and Amazon will be getting new shipments, also Norman, Canoga, Calumet etc
The 5D Mark III is available here in Beijing (where I am currently visiting) in several stores... They have quoted RMB23000 - RMB29000. The exchange rate is about $1 = RMB6.3.
