B&H just let me know that they are now accepting Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II preorders.
B&H has updated the status of the Canon EOS 5Ds / 5Ds R listings to include "Will begin shipping Sun, Jun 14."
We expect the preorder list to be fairly large for these highly anticipated DSLRs. If you haven't already preordered, now would be a good time to do so if one of Canon's ultra-high resolution cameras is on your wish list.
If you were one of the first to preorder, then your wait is likely coming to and end. :-)
This is the moment so many of us have been waiting for – the Canon EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R preorders have just gone live!
If you want one of these cameras in your hands when June rolls around, preordering now will help ensure you receive one of the first available units.

B&H has enough Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lenses in the warehouse to cover roughly half of the preorders and will be shipping imminently.
A second shipment will arrive early next week and will cover roughly the balance of the preorders.
This is a very highly anticipated lens. If it is on your wish list and you haven't preordered, now would be a good time to do so.
The rumored-for-about-a-decade-replacement for a 16-year-old, very popular lens is certain to be in very high demand. While I do not yet have insight into the initial inventory levels for this lens, I highly recommend that you preorder immediately if you want one of these highly anticipated lenses anytime soon. I expect long lines to form for this one.

Updated: OneCall.com just started accepting Canon EOS 5D Mark III Body and Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105mm f/4 IS USM Lens
A suggestion for those of you wanting a 5D III ASAP: Include the with-kit-lens version on your preorder list. Canon has occasionally made the with-lens version of their DSLRs available first. Also, the number of preorders for the body-only 5D Mark III FAR outnumber the with-lens version preorders.
Here is another chance to get on the top of a 5D III preorder list: J&R just starting accepting Canon EOS 5D Mark III Body and Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens Kit preorders.

Again, order fast if you want one. Remember the crazy prices that the 5D Mark II DSLRs were fetching on eBay when they first hit the streets?
B&H just started accepting Canon EOS 5D Mark III preorders.
I expect this camera to be very hard to get for a long time (the 5D II was). I highly recommend preordering immediately if you want one.

As I mentioned yesterday, B&H is accepting preorders for the game-changing Canon EOS C300 Digital Cinema System.
Note that this camera will not (initially at least) be available at all Canon authorized dealers. Only 17 dealers will be authorized to sell the Canon Cinema EOS System. Many third party accessories should be available by release date which is listed as on or after Jan 30th.
The Canon EOS C300 Digital Cinema Camera (EF or PL Mounts) are available for preorder at B&H for only $15,999.00 - a huge discount from the Canon EOS C300 Digital Cinema Camera press release-estimated price of $20,000.
The Canon Zoom Cinema Lenses for the Cinema EOS System are also available for preorder at B&H. The Canon CN-E 14.5-60mm T2.6 L S Cinema Zoom Lens (EF or PL Mount) is priced at $42,750.00 and the CN-E 30-300mm T2.95-3.7 L S EF Mount Cinema Zoom Lens (EF or PL Mount) is priced at $44,650.00. Both prices are lower than expected - the Canon Prime and Zoom Cinema Lenses for Cinema EOS System press release listed the prices as $45,000.00 and $47,000.00 respectively.

When B&H begins accepting preorders for an item, the item is usually expected to be in stock soon.
J&R just started accepting Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L USM Fisheye Lens preorders - and the price is only $1,329.
I expect this lens to be hard to get, so this is a good chance to get your name at the front of a preorder list of a reputable retailer. Canon's "approximate retail price" is $1,400, so I like J&R's price.
Adorama just began taking preorders for the new Canon cameras and lenses:
Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D Digital SLR Camera
Canon EOS Rebel T3 / 1100D Digital SLR Camera
Canon EF 500mm f/4.0 L IS II USM Lens
Canon EF 600mm f/4.0 L IS II USM Lens
Note that a soon-to-be-fixed glitch is preventing these new items from being ordered without an in-stock item included in the order. If you are having problems, add a GTCL3612 (Giottos Anti-Static Microfiber Cleaning Cloth) to the order - and have it removed by customer service later if you don't want it.
