Hmmm...
Nikon has confirmed that pre-orders for its new semi-pro full-frame DSLR, the Nikon D800, have been better than expected.
Speaking to TechRadar, Jeremy Gilbert, Nikon UK marketing manager, said, "People have been asking for the D800 for the past two years, and the excitement has been building and building."
The D800 was announced in February and is the world's highest resolution full-frame camera, packing 36 million pixels.
According to Nikon, it doesn't replace the D700, but rather sits alongside it in a new category that seems to be pretty squarely aimed at medium format users and portrait photographers.
Gilbert continued, "The feedback has been really good, and the pre-orders are unprecedented."
