has anyone heard from their dealers if they will actually get a new canon 1 ds Mk3 in their hands by the end of the month?
anyone know what dealers will get the cameras first? last time when I bought my canon 1Ds Mk2 i got it on amazon because Bh Photo , etc did not have it yet!

You're probably best keeping an eye on: [a href=\"http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/Canon_1DS_MkIII.html]http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/Canon_1DS_MkIII.html[/url]

I ran into a Calument dealer from Chicago on a Flight in CA and he said they shipments were delayed and likely coming either last day in Nov or first week in Dec but that they would trickle in.

I pre-ordered from Calumet (Chicago) They said by end of November (they haven't received any yet)

Any news anyone? I have ordered mine from a local store who imports directly from Japan, but has no clue of arrival date yet. I hope it will not be after Xmas cause I ll be doomed, and I ll have to rent out a P25, which will cost a fortune...

Supposedly the first few cameras, and it is very few, will be shipped on the 29th. Canon have said that there will definitely be initial shortages.

That actually means that most of us gonna have to wait far longer for the camera, at list that's true for me and the small store on the other side of the planet... well I might just wright a letter to Santa, crying all about it

Well, if you live in Canada (and perhaps even if you don't), you can email Santa at this address: [a href=\"http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/dec/santa/writesanta/emailform-e.asp]Email Santa[/url], where you will see the form that starts with "Child's Name", then goes on to "Email Address" and finally "Dear Santa...write your message here". Canada Post says that every letter gets answered (they have 11,000 volunteers working at it). Soooooooo.........if everyone wanting their 1DsMKIII's before XMas writes Santa, and then Santa forwards all these letters to Canon......who knows, whoever said miracles can't happen?

A more effective thing to do:-) if you live in Canada is to fill-up a Nikon Canada Customer Certification Form http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_p...cid=7-8745-9167 (http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-8745-9167)

I have real objections to that kind of discriminatory targeting from manufacturers and their representatives. It should be a retailer's decision and the retailer should sell them on the basis of first-come, first-served - in the order of the deposits received. Epson tried to pull this with the release of the 4000 printer several years ago here in Toronto - even targeting the dealers who would get first call on the machines, and they got embroiled in a messy commercial issue as a result of it.
Let me add that if Ted Nakamura tries to pull off that kind of stunt with the 1DsIII I predict he'll have a huge commercial and legal issue on his hands as well. It will be interesting to see what local consumers do to Nikon when they learn of this.

MarkDs,
I think that's going to happen. Since I live in Greece and stores here don't deal with big numbers on sales so suppliers sometimes live them behind... same thing happened few years back with fuji S2 where sales had started in the US and it came here four months later. Couldn't wait for that back then so I changed to Canon and sold all my Nikon and Sigma Nikon mount lenses, that's how pissed off I was . Can't do the same now though, I m well stuck with Canon, so lets hope it will not be this bad. I don't want to be in the position where I ll be reading all about you guys having the camera in your hands and meshing with it, while I ll be sitting here waiting for mine months later , plus all the cost for renting equipment till then. No no I don't want the last one...

I know from my dealer, that Canon is shipping the stuff on 29th, but they couldn't promise me if I would get one. Just as information I'm on the waiting list on position 3 so they thing they will get less than three cameras. It is one of the biggest Canon stores in Germany.

That's just not good at all is it? That means I have no possibility to get one... since I am 5th on a list of a local small store who imports from Japan and Germany and I am in Greece where the market is much smaller than Germany...

I really hope that Canon will ship some more cameras, but we will see how it goes.
-
My memory isn't 100% - but my recollection was that the Canon USA site actually (at one point) said November delivery. In any event, ther doesn't appear to be any reference to a November delivery now....
-
I've got one on order from a UK dealer who sources from Hong Kong (may sound a bit quirky but I've dealt with them for years), his Hong Kong supplier has been notified to expect six cameras on the 30th November.
-
A dealer in Europe gave me 29th of november for the first shipment - with a very limited number of bodies.

The major Canon resaler in Greece says first arrival is set for mid December and is going to be 6 Cameras. Normal availability will be on late January!!! for Greece... how does that sound. I hope my dealer (who imports from Japan and Germany) will have better news for me,

The message I received was from a German dealer. They insisted on "very limited supply"…

My educated guess is that all the delays comes from that whole autofocus problem they've been dealing with on the 3rd gen. 1 series. As they've yet to announce a competent fix I don't forsee the 1DsIII being shipped before '08.
Missing the Christmas season but how many people were expecting to see this thing under the tree anyway

That's just great

I was informed that the auto-focus problem on the 1DIII is understood and that Canon has issued a repair program for all the affected serial numbers. As for the 1DSIII, check the [a href=\"http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/Canon_1DS_MkIII.html]NorthLight Images[/url] website and you will see the Canon announcement of a formal launch party for the 1dSIII in London England on December 5th. The launch parties, I am told, usually happen several days after the camera is actually released. This would seem consistent with other posters being informed the cameras will ship November 29th, and a translation on the NorthLights website from the Japanese version of a Canon announcement also talking about the 29th in limited quantities. Hence the available evidence would seem to suggest some people will have cameras within the early period of December. There's hope.

My dealer told me to day that Canon will ship the cameras on the 29th. They will be in Germany on the 3rd of Dezember. They will get around 2-5 cameras on the first shipment.

When you say 2-5 cameras you mean just for your local dealer?

FWIW: My dealer called me on Monday the 26th and said that Canon "released" one camera to that store that day. Therefor it should arrive by Wednesday the 27th.

that first Cameras will be available at Park Cameras Uk any moment now, maybe tomorrow, so good news for those who placed their pre-order on that shop long time ago...
My supplier on the other hand has no news whatsoever...

Update from my UK supplier who sources in Hong Kong, the camera will be delivered in HK as scheduled on November 30th, and in the UK in the first week of December.

The shop I was just in on Stanley St Hong Kong have received the camera this morning. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to have a look. There have only been 20 units allocated for HK in the first shipment which means I have to wait a month before the next lot come in apparently. The price I was quoted was HK$56,800.

does anyone know how many people are on the waitinglist at BHPhoto?

So has anyone received a camera from any of Vistek's stores in Canada yet? Aside from Tim, I haven't heard of many folks receiving cameras in N. Am as of the 30th.
