Nikon D4 manual, XQD cards and other updates

The user's manual for Nikon D4 is now available on Nikon Europe support site (registration required). Update: here is a direct link for the D4 manual.

This Nikon D4 in Australia also came with Sony XQD card and reader. The rumor is that the first batch of D4 shipments will all include Sony XQD card and a reader (and not only NPS orders).

The US delivery of D4 (and D800) cameras should all happen by the end of next week because Nikon will suspend all shipments from March 24- April 1st for their yearly inventory count (March 31 is the end of the fiscal year for Nikon). The Nikon WT-5A and BL-6 covers for the new battery should be in stock in the next 48 hours.

Nikon Sweden insists that D4 will start shipping on March 15th

On January 6 Nikon launched the D4, the ultimate tool for professional photographers who daily push the frontiers and meet new challenges. The new system camera in Nikon FX-format delivers image quality, speed and accuracy in a completely separate class of its own, regarding both still and motion images.
Today, Nikon can confirm that the D4 will be available for sale on March 15, 2012.
If you feel that the D4 is a camera for you, we recommend you to contact one of our selected PRO distributors for ordering and delivery schedule.
Before launching the D4, the photographer Corey Rich was asked to make a film with the camera, to bring it to the test and show what it can do. The film "Why" is a documentary on some of the best extreme sports athletes. They explain what’s keeping them going, why they are pushing themselves and expose themselves to the risks. Share their passion here.
Sincerely
Nikon

Nikon also published the D4 digitutor:

Nikon D4 delayed

NikonReview - I have three tips from retailers in various countries that Nikon D4 will be delayed for another month. The camera is set for March 15ht after it was initially delayed for a month. Here is the final delivery date (rumored) for the D4 and D800:

Nikon D800: March 22nd
Nikon D800E: April 12th (B&H has listed April 16th)
Nikon D4: second half of April

The final Nikon D4 production firmware is already out and today several websites started already publishing "approved" samples taken with the camera.
Canon recently also announced that their EOS 1Dx flagship camera will be delayed till the end of April, 2012.

Nikon D4, D800/E shipping by Nikon France

Nikon Review - this time sending info about nikon d4 and D800 to france.

Since I still have several readers asking me concerning it - those are the shipping dates for the Nikon D4 and D800/E confirmed by Nikon France in an exceedingly recent Q&A sessions:

"Le D4 sera commercialisé à partir du fifteen mars 2012. Le D800 à partir du twenty two mars et le D800E à partir du twelve avril."

Translation: "The D4 are sold from March fifteen, 2012. The D800 from March twenty two and D800E from April twelve."

Those dates match the previously reported estimates from Amazon, Adorama and B&H (D800 and D800E dates).

Nikon's representative additionally mentioned that the D700 can still be obtainable for sale alongside the D800/E. the worth of the D700 already dropped in Europe (£450 less within the UK: £1,799.95 at Amazon and Jessops). Still no word on a worth drop within the US where the D700 is out of stock everywhere.

Update: after all an hour once I revealed this post on-line, Amazon got the D700 in stock - the worth is that the same.

Nikon at the 2012 CP+ show D800 and D4

Nikon Review - I can artkel of nikonrumors.com. This article is a show featuring photos from nikon d4 and D800. more details check below.

The first report is from Samuel Morse - expect a detailed post on the D800E on his blog in the next few days:

As for my impressions, there were a couple things I haven't heard anyone say yet about the new Nikons. Having the dedicated movie record button on top, moving the mode button closer to the flash, puts the mode button just out of reach without moving your hand. It was really surprising to me at first, but I could see probably getting used to it, and it's not a button I use with great frequency, so it's a minor quibble. Overall, the D800E felt really good in my hands, better than my D700 in some ways. The prints from the D800E were up on the wall and you could just walk right up to them and look closely, and the detail held up beautifully. My main beef with it is a marketing one. Nikon says that when the D800(E) is in its crop modes, it masks the rest of the viewfinder to tell you where your view is. This is not the case. It doesn't truly mask it with a 50 percent black like the D3 or D4 do. It just makes a box like the D700. I really wish they had added the higher-end masking.

The second set of pictures is from Psycho_McCrazy who also sent me his first impressions on the Nikon D800:

D800 Hands On (My Take):

The AF points in the viewfinder behave similarly to the D700 (persistent Black rectangles, unlike the D3/s/x/D4's Fading red ones.)
The MB-D12 Battery grip has an alloy shell, properly pro-grade.
The D800 will demand skilled handling technique, the 36 megapixels are extremely unforgiving in terms of motion blur even at 1/100 on an 85 mm lens. (or maybe I was shaking with excitement!!!)
Shutter lag and VF black-out are superfast (especially compared to the D70 that I was shooting with)
