Nikon D800E priced at $3,300? (unconfirmed)

Nikon D800E price Nikon D800E priced at $3,300? (unconfirmed)

Nikon D800E

I am not 99% sure, but it seems that the price of the Nikon D800E (the version without the AA filter) will be $3,300. The only reason I am not sure is because this is kind of cheap... If true, this will place the regular Nikon D800 at $3,000 or maybe even slightly lower. FIY: when in stock, the Nikon D700 sells for $2,700, the 24MP D3x sells for $8,000.
