... Hahahah...
 

After all the "hustle and bustle" finally got my D800 too and it came in a Canon plastic bag too :) I am the loner surrounded by at least another 4-5 groups of excited customers in the store collecting their 5D Mark III, I think that is why they gave me a Canon plastic bag so that I can blend in.
 

why don't you go the camera shop outside to look for D800? Such as Audio shop. Funan and Sim lim price quite high and always out of stock. I went to audio house last week and got my D800 :) (when I heard TK told me still long Q for d800, almost pengsan)
 

With such limited availability, your d800 would get stolen if it came in a Nikon bag...
 

Today I went Funan area and look for D800. All shops no stock and price quite high. They don't even want to take preorder as list already very long. 1 or 2 D4 but same very expansive 9K++. But there is this shop.... Who said D800 no stock but if I want a 5Dm3. Why would I want a Canon? The two cameras are different and tuned for different usage plus why would I change system??? They must be desperate. But all the shops I go to have at least 10 sets of 5Dm3. And at one shop talk to the owner and heard inside news on why low stock and high price for D800 n D4. Then go to Harvey Norman and was told D800 no stock but if I want a D4. Their last D4. D4 price is too high. I rather get D3s. If D4 is 5-6K then of course I might get D4 instead of D800e. Looks like we have to wait a few weeks.
 

You will have better luck looking elsewhere and avoid the usual popular shops. I got mine last week at Courts Megastore. Only unit there, not on display. Have to ask then they check for you.
Expensive? Yes, but I got to use it already for some shoot n event and the results are pretty good, especially the video recording.

Btw, my name still on waiting list at 3 other popular shops......
 

No luck at all, everywhere I asked, no stock. Left my name long ago with some popular shops, still not even getting calls up till now.

Called audiohouse on Sunday was told no stock.
 

aya... just wait for more stock and price also will be better, why so hurry... lol
 

Am sure d700 is just fine, but obviously there will always be interest in sth new - esp if tt sth is as groundbreaking as the d800!

Of cos, if I have the D800, it would have follow me on the plane instead :(
 

It has been 3 weeks and no stock in sight.
Sigh.

seems that on the other end of the world, BHP has just started to move their pre-orders....SO I'm guessing probably another 3-4weeks before we see a smoother distribution of the 800
