Update: the D7100 body only sold out at Best Buy and is now listed as “not available for shipping”. The ship to store option is still available.
Nikon D7100 body only is currently in stock at BestBuy. The camera is listed to ship from the warehouse for free in one business day. New D7100 sample images were published today at Focus-Numerique (including downloadable RAW samples).
The Nikon D7100 camera is also available for rent from Borrowlenses.
Update: Adobe contacted me and told me that the D7100 listing for the Camera Raw 7.4 release candidate was a mistake – they have since removed it from their website.
The latest Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 7.4 release candidate does have added support for the just released Nikon D7100 DSLR camera. Adobe Lightroom 4.4 release candidate however does not support the D7100 for now. You can use Nikon ViewNX 2.7.4 until Adobe releases their next version.
Several readers informed me that they have received shipping notifications from B&H for their pre-ordered Nikkor AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens that was announced on March 4th. The new lens is shipping few days before the official release date of March 19th which is part of Nikon’s effort to push inventory before the end of their financial year that ends on March 31th, 2013.
If you are in New York state, you will be getting your lens tomorrow.
