Just joined the proud D800e owners! I'm very excited and just dying to try it out on macro! Not to mention the beautiful scenery shots it is capable of getting if I use it right! :)

No I just have to fight my impatience and wait till shipped out on Tuesday! :)

Thanks my friends! I'm very excited about getting this model, especially because I was convinced that I couldn't have one even though I've been nuts about this model right off the get! So this is like a huge piece of good luck, with the camera being the winning prize!

I will be getting a Nikon battery grip as soon asap, though it will have to wait till this cool camera is completely paid for! Thank you @oldsalt buddy for selling this awesome camera to me! :)

Hey Bill - no problems, and I was rumaging around in my computer room this morning and I spotted my copy of David Busch's book "D800 - D800E" - so I'll toss it into the package as well
(weighs a ton and I'll have to take out a mortgage to pay for the freight heh heh) but what the heck... you'll love this camera.
Enjoy it my friend,

cheers

D810 - already got it... rang quite a few places where I have bought gear over the years and the very best price was from "European Camera Specialists" in Drummoyne Sydney, a proper shop (genuine Nikon dealer) run by two very knowledgeable/helpful gents... they beat everyone elses prices and payed for the freight !!! ...can't ask for more than that. I also picked up a very nice carbon fibre tripod from their second hand stock a few weeks back - lovely bit of kit...
cheers
