Camera Nikon D800 Release Date and Ideas
Bad news for anyone waiting on the Nikon D800. We were expecting a announcement before the end of the month by Nikon with some details on the release date of this much anticipated camera, but unfortunately due to the storms and flooding in Thailand we are hearing that the D800 will be delayed along with the rest of Nikon’s cameras. This is a devasting blow to the supply chain for all of Nikon’s products, as they are expecting delays on all of their cameras, not just the new releases. This comes at a critical time with the holidays coming up. Hopefully Nikon can get things sorted out in Thailand, where there factory is 8 feet under water as we speak. There really is nothing that Nikon can do until the rain stops and the waters recede.
Nikon D800 Alternatives
However, if you are in dire need of a great camera, you can still get the Nikon D700, or anyone of Nikon’s DSLR cameras. There are a lot of great options for those that were waiting on the D800, and you can definitely find one to hold you over until the D800 comes out.
Nikon D800: Pushed Back Further
Thankfully there was no one hurt in the flooding that works for Nikon, which is the most important thing. We are wishing Nikon a speedy recovery from the flooding. They have been hit especially hard by natural disasters this year, with the earthquake in Japan, and now this flooding in Thailand. Pretty unbelievable stuff that Nikon has had to go through this year..a nightmare year for them on all accounts.
With the recent release of the tentative D800 specs, everyone is getting more and more anxious over the release date of this great camera. Don’t get me wrong, the D700 was a great camera and still is, but it has aged and needs an update. The camera specifications that were released a little while ago, show that the replacement for the D700 will be a game changer and rewrite the digital photography rule book. This camera will lead the way as the megapixel champion, at 36 megapixel. This is a huge sensor, which will allow you to take the highest quality and size pictures of any full frame digital single lens reflex camera. So now that we have a teaser of the specs on the D800, we are antsy to hear more about this camera and get on the pre-order list, which will undoubtedly fill up quickly. Even though this camera is pegged to be in the $4,000 dollar range, it will sell very well. This is at the top of the line and will enhance the D line of cameras by Nikon. Don’t let the price tag fool you, because professional photographers can make this amount of money back very quickly with a couple of high quality shots.
So now that we know some of the stats of the soon to be released Nikon D800, it is time for Nikon to release some information on this camera in terms of a release date. We will of course keep you posted on any news in this realm, but with an announcement from Canon coming soon on new cameras, expect one from Nikon before or shortly after the announcement from Canon. It is great to be a consumer with 2 great companies competing against each other. They get to battle it out in the marketplace, and we as consumers get to reap the benefits and rewards of their hard work. They obviously enjoy their jobs, so we do not feel too bad for them, but it has to be hard work to be always coming up with new products and designs. Well enough of a sidetrack…stay tuned and get ready for the Nikon D800 release date.
