Nikon has confirmed the expected on-sale dates for its new pro and semi-pro DSLRs, the Nikon D4 and Nikon D800.
The Nikon D4 was announced at the beginning of January and was originally slated for release around the middle of February, but no cameras have hit the shops as of yet.
Now, Nikon UK has confirmed that it is expecting a mid-March on-sale date for the D4.
Speaking to TechRadar, a Nikon spokesperson said that the new date was as a result in an update in production schedules, but was unable to clarify any further details.
Anticipation
Meanwhile, the D800, which was announced a couple of weeks ago in London is still expected to go on sale for the originally anticipated end of March release date.
There had been concerned that the D800 could face delays after pre-orders in the US had been frozen.
A report by a Malaysian News Agency recently said that Nikon is hoping to produce 30,000 D800s a month, and 5,000 D4 units a month in its Sendai factory in Japan.
The D800 is Nikon's new semi-pro DSLR and features a 36 million pixel full-frame sensor. It looks set to retail for roughly half the price of the professional level D4, which will be available for around £4799.99 when it goes on sale.
