BG-E3 for DrebelXT, Any sightings?

[KurtKuhn]

Does anyone know of any reputable US vendors that have the BG-E3 available and ready for purchase?

I feel the BG-E3 is a "must have" for the DrebelXT and large [read: heavy] lenses.

My pre-order from Amazon shows a delivery date out to mid April. Not only that, but it's about $50 more than what the teaser ad shows in Adorama.

Seems like Adorama has got them in stock and ready to ship. Check it out:

Thanks for pointing that out; I should have caught that. I was monitoring Adorama and B&H. Adorama :o ~just~ :o toggled the availability recently and B&H now shows "New-coming soon." I'm jonesin' to "get a grip," so it looks like it'll be Adorama today.

I'd like one too, but just spent my $$$ on L glass. Have to wait for L gods to replenish my mana.

I can appreciate that. I'm almost in the same situation. The big difference is that I budgeted for a 20D; therefore, I have room left over for a grip and a new tripod to hold the weight that the L's bring to bear.
