Waiting on a camera release can be one of the most painful experiences, especially when the camera manufacturer does not give any idea to when the product will be released.  Canon and Nikon are notorious for not releasing any information about their cameras until they are practically ready to launch.  So here we stand with the Nikon D800, waiting on some details from Nikon.

Someone recently found a book on the Amazon site covering the D800, that is going to be released on April 4, 2012.  We hope that this has no reflection on the actual release of the camera, and it could be a little bit of a stretch by some.  But it is some information, and all of us who are waiting on the Nikon D800,  so desperately want to get some information to help with the uncertainty.  This news does not help, but at least it is something to think about while we wait and wonder about this camera.

What do we want to see in the D800? Ideally we want to see better video capability to rival that of Canon and the 5D MKII, which has been used to shoot some high level TV shows.  We don’t want anymore mega-pixels, because the pictures are already big enough size.  Ideally, if and when the Nikon D800 is released, it will come with better low light imaging and higher quality video.  This will help the camera and Nikon for that matter compete with Canon and their high end digital single lens reflex (DSLR) line of cameras.

Waiting and watching for any news on the Nikon D800 can be boring, so we will keep scouring through the internet to find anything we can on the release date and specifications on what should be a great camera for years to come, the Nikon D800.
