I was hoping that you had been in there... I saw the Houston, TX., hometown note. So the info I got the phone was only partially correct so why such an exorbiate deposit amount ?
Wow !

Me too, I pre-ordered the D4 on Adorama as soon as it posted and will do the same for the D800. One of them is gonna fill the bill for me better than the other - I'll simply return the latter.

If you ask me,....
1) Silly to take pre-orders for a camera that hasn't even been officially announced by Nikon.

2) Silly to make a pre-order for a camera that hasn't even been officially announced by Nikon.

Business is business. If you are willing to let them work on your money for days, weeks or months, so be it. Nobody is twisting your arm to make you lay down the money.

From a business standpoint its a good move... From a consumer standpoint it can be a good move as well...

business gets people to commit to purchasing one from them, gets money up front. Im sure if camera sells for more than preorder then consumer is responsible for paying the difference.

consumers get in on the d800 wagon early.. I remember when the 5dmk2 came out there were many stores that had waiting lists that exceeded 150+ people. preordering just ensures you're higher on the list than those that wait for the day theyre released to try to buy one...

everyone has to weigh their options and see which scenario fits them best...

I put my deposit down at HCE earlier today. If I don't like the specs, I can always get a refund!
