Well, at long last (relatively) the Nikon D4 finally resides at Casa Don Pedro. Many thanks to Eugene Jabbour of Competitive Cameras for finding me via cell com…
Eugene: ‘Hello, this is Eugene from Competitive Cameras, is this Peter?’
Me: ‘Yes Eugene, this is Peter.’
Eugene: ‘This is going to be a very expensive Phone Call.’
Me: ‘Thank you Eugene, I’m quite prepared…’
In about 30 seconds the deal was done, and the D4 was on it’s way to Salt Lake City.
Any deliveries that require a signature, which is most deliveries, are sent to the HP’s office.
The package was delivered at 12:52, and the HP shuttled it down to my lower campus office by mid afternoon.
The package immediately went to Casa Don Pedro for unboxing and initial inspection. Everything checks out perfectly.
The EN-EL18 battery is placed on charge and CF and XQD cards are organized for the initial testing to begin the morning of April 19.
Who has EN-EL18 batteries for sale?!!!
Stay tuned!

Wooo Hooo. I am curious how the new XQD cards compare to the higher speed CF cards you have.
XQD… Fast? Yeah, much faster than anything out there, anything, 1000x not even close. Pain in the ass? Yes for the short term: right now you cannot buy a reader – I got mine with the Nikon D4. Future? Unless CF/SD can seriously increase speed these things will rule. Speed is beautiful.
