Nikon D4 now available for pre-order

Nikon D4 is now available for pre-order at Amazon for $5,999.00.

The latest Nikon D4 specs (original post):

• Nikon D4 will have substantially lighter body
• Available in February
• Suggested retail price: $6,000
• The ISO range is listed again as 100 to 102,400, expandable to 50 to 204,800. Those were the original D4 specs I published back in December but then I had to correct them. I guess I was wrong in my correction.

• Face detection/recognition
• 100% viewfinder coverage (obviously)
• Illuminated function buttons
• Dedicated video button

As expected, the Nikon D800 will not be announced now since it was not mentioned in the article.
