Pre-Orders Suspended for Nikon D800 36-Megapixel DSLR Camera




One would think that a product whose price is of multiple thousands of dollars wouldn't draw so many customers, but Nikon's D800 totally subverted this expectation. 

It was only a few days ago that online stores finally began to accept pre-orders for this small technological wonder. 

Now, they have stopped accepting such requests because too many have been sent already. 

“This item is in high demand and supplies from the manufacturer are limited,” Amazon warns

“Its availability will fluctuate, and if the item is not currently in stock, we cannot guarantee that we will receive additional quantities in a timely manner.” 

Nikon's 36-megapixel FX D800 camera can record video in Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and supports ISO 100 to 6,300 (expanded up to 25,600). 

Additionally, the company implemented a 51-point AF system with 15 Cross Type AF sensors and a 3.2-inch, 921k dot preview display. 

The Nikon D800 has a price of $2,999.95, and £2399.95 in the United Kingdom. That would be around 2,518 Euro, according to exchange rates. 

The United States and Europe aren't the only regions served either. The item can also be found on Amazon.jp, among other places. 

Alas, there is no way to tell how long it will be before pre-orders are accepted again, assuming this even happens. 

Given that the formal release will only take place in March (for the base model) and April (for the low-pass filter-free one), Nikon, and its sales partners, may hold off accepting new entries until a new batch is ready, though it is unlikely. 

“The D800 is the right tool for today's creative image makers, affording photographers, filmmakers and videographers a versatile option for capturing the ultimate in still image quality or full HD content, with maximum control,” said Bo Kajiwara, director of marketing, Nikon Inc., when the initial introduction was held.
