"On truck for delivery."

D800 will be in my grubby paws tomorrow.

WOOT.

Now I just need to buy 48 more memory cards and a 10TB NAS and 12 batteries to keep up with it.

Head->desk.

heh. Sorry man. I had to stalk a lot of websites to make that happen. I have to believe my workplace wondered why I visited Nikonrumors 300x a day... and ultimately that's what did it. Caught that BestBuy had them available, ordered within 10 minutes of them posting the article (while blatantly ignoring a meeting I was in), and managed to get lucky.

Now I have to go cancel all my other preorders.

Clearly going to the big places like B/H and Adorama does NOT work with these. There are too many people vying for a small number of cameras. My second-tier plan was also clearly a good one... hit a Wolf or Ritz camera in your area and order it there. I called 3-4 of them and they said they were pretty consistently getting their customers' orders filled in 2-3 weeks. That's WAY the hell better than, what? 5? 6 months? I mean I literally cancelled my adorama order for my D4 maybe four weeks ago, and I HAD to be one of the first people on the list for their pre-orders since I bought within MAYBE an hour of them announcing?

I only wish I had thought of the Ritz trick a few months ago. Dur.
