I pre-ordered at B&H though so I am probably 8,796 out of 19,564 :-(

When it arrives, at least one of my two 5DIIs will up for sale. Based on this thread it looks like I'll be asking $1,500.

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon the morning after the announcement. I'm so excited.

Nice one Dave, ha ha.

So where's the Tokina 11-16? Planning on selling, or it's gone already? I was thinking of one until the v2 was announced, but now that the 5D3 is announced I might give up on über-wide until I get a FF (Maybe this time next-year, once the prices drops and those black-haloes are fixed).
Although, if you've still go it and you're willing to ship it to Adelaide for $500, I might be tempted...

Still have it Doc, I am having a go with a local sale first, I'll let you know how I get on.

I pre-ordered one Tuesday. I didn't hear about the 5DIII announcement until then... I moved last weekend and had no internet from Thursday until Tuesday

I'm totally stoked. This is exactly the camera I've been wanting.

I put the 5D Mark III in my cart and was about to pull the trigger but then I realized I preordered the 1DX when it was announced so I canceled the 5D 3 bummer! I guess I'll just have to settle with the 1DX

............... bummer! I guess I'll just have to settle with the 1DX

.................we all have to make sacrifices..............I believe you will be rewarded for yours.....with a 18 MP, 12 fps (RAW), beauty of a camera.....

Just kidding, I did not order neither the 5D3 nor the 1DX, instead I bought a 5D2 right after the announcement of the 5D3. The reason I did it because I just want to have a fullframe body for landscape and portrait. I think now is the best time to buy the 5D2 before Canon discontinues it and plus I got some money from my tax return. I've been putting off getting the 5D2 for over two years. At $1999 during this pass holiday sseason it was very tempting but I had some other priorities at the time.

Congratulations to those who ordered your 5D3. I hope you'll make great images with it.
