Same situation here: Pre-ordered at 3:37AM (EST) on Feb.07, 2012, the few hours of pre-orders. Still waiting...

Likewise, I pre-ordered D800E on March 10th and only received one email on April 16th from Amazon notifying me to wait for future shipping date notice. Nothing else has happened since.
1103711
Ordered D800Ethe first day on the morning of Feb 7th, still no word on when it will arrive. Can't really fault Amazon for having trouble with Nikon's supply chain, but it does seem irresposible to keep taking orders (you can still backorder it as of today) when you can't tell folks who ordered it 4 MONTHS AGO when to expect it.

Nikon D800 36.3 MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) Ordered both the D800 and D800E approx. weeks from each other. Received ships dates on both which are within 2 days of each other for later this month. D800E was ordered 2 weeks ago.

Peter is NPS and got his shipment directly from Nikon via B&H; Photo, not Amazon. I pre-ordered D800E with Amazon at 12:22 am (PST) Feb. 6, 2012, and have not heard anything yet.

Well, apparently, a few US D800E orders have been fulfilled - watch this unboxing:http://nikonrumors.com/2012/04/17/first-nikon-d800e-cameras-already-received-in-the-us-gets-promptly-unboxed-on-video.aspx/

I ordered back on the first day in February and I'm still waiting. I have no idea when this thing will arrive.

Amazon will ship Nikon D800 on April 16 to May 1. is it possible D800E coming earlier then D800?

Who knows about rumors? My guess is ~ a year or so, and a D700 variant may be added to the mix, rather than replacing the D700.If a high MPx sensor [D3x variant] is added as a D700x, then this would be an additional, more expensive $4-5k model. If the D3s sensor is swapped in, then ??? Such a swap will not happen soon, lest Nikon loose too many D3s sales IMO.There are _some_ deals available that give some savings with a combo purchase ...

UPDATE:Woo hoo! Being persistent helps. I checked Amazon everyday to see if this camera was back in stock. Last week, it was in stock for a few minutes @ $399. I hit the check-out button, and it should be arriving this week.===Same here. I pre-ordered it for the $399 price, and the free 4GB SD card promo. I got my cancellation email last week. Now I have to return the SD card, since my current camera doesn't support SDHC.It seems everyone is out of stock. I have a feeling this camera won't be widely available till after the holidays. Bummer.

Thanks so much for the response. After much research, I know I want this camera. What a great deal, I'll order mine tonight!

Hey all! I am also extremely interested in the upcoming Zeikos battery grip for the D7000. I connected with customer support through the Zeikos website (much like @graceful did) and they just informed me that their development department will not have this product ready until the end of April. This is a real downer. Another full month without an alternative to the overprices MB-D11 option.

I purchased a D5000 in July and have been very satisfied with it. Great camera. I recently received an email from Nikon about this problem. My s# is 304**** and they say it has the problem. I haven't sent it in yet. I'm having a problem with fixing something that works fine.

I would like to know when the camera will be released and if I pre-order it, what happens if other web-sites sell it sell for less money. Here's another angle; What if I pre-order it now on here for $499 that is the current price and then the price drops at release time? I would dearly like to try this camera out to see if it is as good as they say it is. I have a Kodak Z980 which has a great 24x zoom but the 30x plus the other neat features will be very tempting if they are for real. The low light capabilities alone are interesting. (My Kodak Z980 is not too bad at low light but I will take any improvement I can get!)Does anyone have any idea when it will be released?

I would suggest getting the D610 instead at this point. All those folks that claimed that there Was no serious problem with the sensor on the D600 now have to explain why Nikon has a new model out in just one year. And it only has one area of improvement- the shutter. The shutter was the suspected culprit. Hmmm...

What did you end up getting? I had the same dilemma but choose the 790 for its picture quality. It's a great camera and am very pleased with the results. I had fun with it right out of the box, but must confess I am a manual freak, so I did study it before the camera even came. www.steve-digicams.com posts reviews and sample pictures if you want more info. For me, it's a perfect little P&S; for your pocket.

I upgraded from the D90, haven't used the D3100. I'd expect it's a good upgrade as the D3100 has been upgraded twice. I think waiting at least ntil the second upgrade makes sense as the next upgrade is more incremental than revolutionary. I think you'll like the D7100. I find it easier to operate and use thatn my D90 even though I had it 3 years. Have fun shooting with whatever you choose.

Hi, Douglas! I saw what you discussed about the lances and the whole camera and I want to ask you if you have any experiance with Nikon Coolpix 5700 (I have that one) and how is it against Canon DigitalRebel XT? Is it much more I'll "earn" if I switch to Canon? Thank you in advance!Ivan Hristov, Houston, TX

I'm thinking about buying new DSLR.. Nikon D3100 has been on top of the list and competing with Canon T3. Though, what matters to me is picture quality / colors / sharpness. I dont care much about video shooting as I can use my iphone when needed. My question is if anyone of you are professional photographer or has expirence dealing with both cameras.. which one would you buy? both are about at the same price. I need camera which can take nice outdoor pictures and perform better than point n shoot in low light (indoors).

I may be a Johnny-come-lately. Just placed my 'pre-order' on Friday. I'm hoping I get it soon! I'm leaving next Tuesday for a conference in Miami, and I'm really needing this camera!

Greg...thanks for the great comments on the E510. You have confirmed my own research. Seems to pretty much be the best value in the DSLR group at this level. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Based on your comments and some others, we have ordered the E510 from Amazon. We will check out the pics you took. Great help! regards Dar

In same boat, Bob. I'm buying the D80. Cheaper, and less weight/bulk. I test drove a 30D and did not like the ergonomics. Have been waiting for a D70s replacement, and it's here!

I can't pre-order... Too little faith in canon cameras when they are released. I will probably get it down the road (feb-march) if their aren't any issues. Would upgrade from mkII. Would be nice if canon could release the 1d and 1ds as one camera, and just allow us to switch between high fps and high MP. But alas, I'll refrain.
