Okay, so I’ll admit that I doubted the prelease specifications, and the Nikon Rumors site had it bang-on, but I’m still a bit skeptical. Neverthless, the Nikon D800 and D800E (sans anti-aliasing filter) have just been announced:

Curiously, the D800E was made available (at around 10:15 MST) on the BH Photo-Video site in advance of the D800.
In an effort to steal a bit thunder from Nikon’s release bash, Canon has announced three new EF lenses: a 24mm f/2.8, a 28mm f/2.8, and a 24-700mm f/2.8 zoom lens with image stabilization. Quite an evening… That 24-70mm is pretty cool…
The d800 and D800E were offered for sale on Amazon.com at around 21:15 MST.
The D800 was offered for sale at Pictureline at around 21:30 MST.
The D800 was offered for sale at BH Photo-Video at around 21:50 MST.
The D800 and D800E went on pre-order at Roberts Camera sometime after 06:00 MST.
The D800 and D800E went on pre-order at Adorama at about 09:00 MST.
