That is noting,
I ordered my D800 the 8 of February, and it arrived last Friday - apparently Nikon Denmark has grossly underestimated how many they could sell, and the waiting list at my local shop is very very long.
On the positive side, I got it at a good prise, saved 12% compared to the current prise.
Best of luck with your purchase,

I think they grossly underestimated the uptake of the D800 as I had to wait for the second shipment into the UK. I got mine in mid-May.
The D800 seems to work just as well as the D3S in mixed lighting and high ISO conditions.
I was concerned that it would be more noisy and also that it would require/demand better than hand-holding to get what I need from it. Obviously working on a tripod and at faster shutter speeds will always yield a superior result.
