I did a phone around today. My dealer got 2 which he gave to people who preordered before the D800 was even announced. Another told me they got 2 today and are getting another 2 tomorrow and then more next week.

I was told the shipping from Nikon is usually twice a month.

He said realistically it would be the end of April. I'll push harder than that as the other guy I dealt with promised better than that.

Still, its not the end of the world.

Apparently there are plenty of 5D mark iiis in stock though. One dealer said he was receiving 40 x 5D mark iiis today. DigitalRev shows them as being in stock.

Canon is handling the production demands better.

Also the D800 is proving to be enormously popular for Nikon, perhaps better than they expected.

Greg.
