Nikon Rumors uncovered an interesting little tidbit regarding the dealer pricing of the Nikon D800 in the US.
The D800 that your dealer sells to you for $3000 cost the dealer $2700, while the D800E sells for $3300 and cost the dealer $2970 – a markup of 11% and 10%, respectively. Accessories, however, are a different ball game altogether…

Those lamenting over the high resolution of the new Nikon D800 may be pleased to know that Nikon will continue to manufacturer the D700 “for the foreseeable future.”
There is no doubt to the popularity and solid performance of the Nikon D700, so this doesn’t necessarily come as a big shocker. The continued flux of the D700′s availability proves that there’s still a pretty big demand for this camera.
No word on what kind of price decreases we might see though. It’d be nice to see the D700 work its way into the sub-$2000 price range in the next few months. (Although that’s mostly wishful thinking – given its current $2700 price tag.) I think that would make it an easier reach for a lot of folks who have been holding off or saving their pennies to grab one.

Someone stole Nikon’s D4 and D800 samples, along with a truck full of other Nikon gear . . . and the truck itself.
My money is on this guy I saw casing the Nikon booth at CES 2012.
Full list of stolen gear below, along with serial numbers. If you stole it, I’d hold off on putting sample images online… [click to continue…]
