Please note I HAVE NOT touched one of these cameras, and NO I didn’t shoot the campaign. and I haven’t yet spent the appropriate time with the camera to tell you any gory details. I’m assuming I’ll be able to chat more soon.
So.. I (we) knew this was coming, but rather than me spouting off about having played with the system (I can’t), or telling you what your feelings about this system should be (I won’t), I’m turning the tables on you.
What’s your take? Love, hate, indifferent? Insights?

wish i had the money for this beast! Nikon should make a 75% off introductory off for the first couple months or so 😉 but my d7000 will suffice. also cuirious about the d800.
At first I feel desapointed because of rumor about D800 and is 36Mpx. 16 Mpx is really less than half of 36, and when you think like that it’s desapointing to have half of something.
But after rethink, this camera have georgous caracteristics for ambiant light or action shooting with uncontroled light environnement. It already have a market to fullfill.
I know there are physical limitation with mpix and a good picture is more than just a bunch of pixel. But I fell like having 20+mpix cheaper than the D3x from Nikon could be nice for me.
I think the d4 is an amazing new audition to Nikon’s already outstanding line up of cameras.
I’d love to see them bring out an X with a ridiculous amount of pixels. To let everyone know who is boss.
I’d also love to be able to afford one.
Will be along time till I can go out and pre order a brand new flagship Nikon.
But one day I will.
looking forward to seeing all the amazing images made with this body
I’m very happy that NIKON is moving forward with its latest NIKON D4 release.
As someone who is already heavily invested with a few D3ses,
I don’t plan to upgrade any time soon.
I am, however, waiting for the new D800.
NIKON, please.
>_<
Uncompressed video output, this is cool.. On paper it seems like the d4 will beat the canon 1dx for video but not for stills… But for now we can only judge numbers
