Can't find the press release anywhere else but on Nikon rumors.

http://nikonrumors.com/2012/02/06/nikon ... more-32762

Who's running out for one of these now? lol


Edit: Turns out the Nikon Brazil site leaked the info early. I'm sure someone's gonna get wrist slapped.

36.3MP! HOLY CRAP! Are they out to give MF digital cams etc a run? My 5DMKII images are plenty big already! Time for Nikon peeps to start buying BIGGER drives and faster machines for working on these files.

Official release happens at midnight, Calculating is that has something to do with the Official launch that happens at the Ritz in HK.
Price is rumored to start at $3000 for the standard version and $3300 for the E version !!!

I wish I could afford this - but looks like its going to be around $4000 (What I saw quoted on one site). While not a bad price for what you get - definitely out of my price range!

Frack, why did they have to make the price so tempting. If it was around 4K I wouldn't even think about it.

Looks like awesome camera! (I would still trade high MP for better speed though)
...now, just where to find all that "pocket change" to get one... /sigh
I am set to get it, just not sure when I will have the cash.

D800 comes with the mandatory computer upgrade ;)

I was going to get a new macbook pro.... but now after seeing the D800, not sure if I should go for the upgrade on camera or computer first.

So they charge you more for 'not' having a filter?

Don't need a new computer ... just need a bigger hard-drive! I am already running a pretty fast quad core.

Taking a step back, how much of a jump is it from the D700?

Big steps - 36MP is a huge jump from 12.1, but if you dont need it, it might slow you down
Video - aimed at the Canon 5DMk2 - big change

Otherwise, does the D700 really lag behind if these two features are not that important to those thinking of upgrading?
Does it have the web-operation of the D4 or the cool illuminated buttons? I didn't see that.
