[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 667189, member: 43545"] For the first many months D850's like D800's when it was first released, in far shorter supply than demand. So I was surprised to visit an appliance/TV/computer store in a large shopping mall and not only did they have a D850 but 4 on the shelf and one for display, plus 2 D5's, plus the full line including a stack of D500. If I had the money I would have bought one. Here, a D850 represents almost 4 months average gross salary but surely after I can sell my D800. I would hate to lose the D800 since I never sell older cameras, just keep them as backups or loaners or use in workshops for beginners. I still use my D7000 as a second camera on some commercial sessions needing both reach and wide angle, paired with the D800. I suppose the demand has been met to have so many sitting on the shelf so maybe there will be some discounting to reduce inventor at some of the retailers. If I buy it here it is $3700 but I can get a the 18%VAT deduced when crossing the border for a total cost of $3028 after VAT refund. Next time I need to cross the border I will make sure I had a shiny new in the box D850 and receipts. That VAT refund would cover a grip.....I do not need the larger battery, or frame rate so would not bother with the pricy battery and charger when all I want in the vertical grip function. I think I am talking myself into it.... My rational side says there is no reason I need it, the D800 does very very well for my needs for portraiture, events and studio. But I want one anyway.
