They're there ...
You might need to refresh the page, or empty your browser cache. That looks out of date. I'm getting the D800 included when I click on your link.
I just emptied the IE cache and it still says the same (no D800 or D4). I think I'm in a time warp - LOL
Try a different browser.
The D800 seems to be a bit of a nightmare for collecting dust, finding myself cleaning the sensor etc far more than any other camera I can remember. Quite enjoying the 35mm f/1.4 G though, the 24-70 didn't wow me as much as I thought it would have. The 24G/35G/85G combo or the 21ZF/35G/100ZF are what I'll aim for I reckon.
The D800 is now £1,773 at Amazon!!

For anyone thinking what to do with 36mpix's you can also choose medium (20mp) and small (9mp) no sure if this has been talked about already but, if it has its buried deep somewhere.

Because some people just dont need or want 36mp files but do want the very latest technologyWhat's the point of buying a 36MP (or 21MP) DSLR and shooting at lower resolution? The only use I can see is if you are running low on memory card space, but then more fool you for not carrying a spare.
I shoot RAW + small jpeg, but I would never shoot small only.

Hi there just like to say i bought a new D800 from amazon a few weeks back after reading this post i checked the price and got a 60 pound refund many thanks for the advicefor those of you who purchased from amazon in the last 30 days you can get a refund of the price drop. I did it in september when it went from £2250 ish down to approx £2050. I used the online chat facility and they were great agreeing to refund the difference with no problems provided it was within the 30 day return period and it was an Amazon purchase. I also got a 24-85 vr at the same time (great lens) and I even got a refund on the small amount that had dropped.
However dont rub it in I am gutted the price is still dropping.
Strangely enough, I've found myself processing skin less! Same touch ups, like cloning out the odd spot or wrinkle, but only when needed. I don't soften skin really, I used to with the D90 - but prefer not to in general. I find hair, clothes textures, eyes to be sharper - but not the skin. I'm not so technically minded as to know why exactly maybe because skin isn't exactly sharp to begin with? or something ... And maybe also because I am improving, especially with lighting, and getting my exposures better with less need for post processing. I think I was over sharpening in the past, and then having to soften skin to counter.
Unless you're using a macro lens on it, and getting in real close - I wouldn't worry. The detail is incredible, but I've not found that it over sharpens skin, if that helps?
I think to be honest most tests have shown very little difference between the two.
I decided to go for the standard version and its still sharp enough for my needs.
I've got lots of portrait shots in my Flickr with various pro glass,none have had any skin work done,but Flickr seems to have over sharpened alot of them.only the first few are full size though.
From the sharpened files of the D800 vs D800E I can't really see any difference. The 135DC is a nice lens, could be doing with an update though.
Been hoping either nikon or sigma(they hinted) bring a new version out with fast AF.
The Canon seems to get great reviews regarding sharpness,AF lock and speed,where as the DC lenses doesn't seem to compare well.
How have you found it AF wise?
