NPS members in the US who pre-ordered the D800, received an email notification today that their cameras are being shipped. The process will be the same as with the D4 – all NPS reservations will be filled first and then the remaining cameras will be shipped to “regular” pre-orders. As far as I know Amazon doesn’t ship NPS priority purchases, so everything they will get on Friday will be sent to existing pre-orders.
I was told that if you haven’t ordered a D800 by now, you will have to wait until August for delivery.
Just a reminder that Nikon will suspend all shipments from March 24- April 1st for their yearly inventory count (March 31 is the end of the fiscal year for Nikon).
