I emailed Camera World a couple of days ago to see if they had a D500 on stock in shop.They said they had two.Today I went to to the shop and they did not have a D500 at all and have not had any for weeks! They want to take pre orders but have no cameras. This is utter madness by Nikon.The camera has been out months now!
Also no D5 on stock!
What do you mean rebates?and in the US this month they are already doing rebates!

I've been trying to buy a holiday compact.... Sony rx100 iv is out of stock everywhere until the autumn and the Nikon dl's are delayed until the end of the year all because of the sensor shortages... Frustrating!I ordered a D5 from Wex on 10-04-16 and when I phoned them last Thursday they said that there was still a shortage of sensors. On Friday they sent me an email to say they had one ready for me I collected it on Sunday. I won't be writing a review it's all been said but I will add I Liiiiiiiiiiiiiike it.
Cheers Keith

Just done a quick search and Jessops have them in stock in certain stores and home delivery, Park Cameras are showing in stock, as are Harrisons. I'm sure there must be more, but only searched these few. All appear to be XQD versions rather than CF though.I don't know why they're still spinning that yarn, you can buy a D5 off the shelf in the USA! For some reason, they appear to have major distribution problem, more than anything else.
But congratulations, its pretty sweet ;-)
Got my hands on the D5 today; wow oh wow. Will post a more in depth review later with some photos but it really is quite good.
ISO is insane
Touch screen is great
14fps is ludicrous
AF is a joy

Cheers Kev. Hoping those that got theirs in July still got a card.
Thats interesting. Mine came with a 64gb 'G' card and new reader.
Maybe Mifsuds are doing this themselves.
Got the camera, just about to have a look at the settings.
100% NO card or reader included. Rather annoyed really.
Don't let it bother you, but certainly push to get what you're owed IMO.I won't let it bother me. It was ordered in March and the card offer was on until only a couple of weeks ago.
I will move on! Sadly, I don't get to play until Thursday. Looks like I'll be setting it up over the next two evenings!
I wish I'd never sent my D750 in for the recalls, AF's never worked right since. It's back with Nikon again but they're saying they can't find a fault. Sent them sample pics on Friday, still waiting to hear what they make of them.I have just finished emailing Nikon mate. I hope I don't sound stroppy in it and that's not my intention. However, I did point out that I was on the waiting list for 17 weeks and 6 days and I chose to buy a UK body. We will wait and see.
My D750 returns with a new shutter tomorrow (I couldn't find a fault but what the Hell!?) so happy days all round (just about!)

When the centre and left clusters slightly front focus and the right cluster back focuses, and AF-C hit rate has gone from high 90's% to around 30% I'm not sure why it's "testing to Nikon standards", but at least they're wiling to look at sample pics rather than just sending it back as working ok.
I was directed here after posting in the equipment section............so I figured this would be a better place.............now need to read the 100s of posts
I'm heading back to Tanzania in Feb and fancy something new to take with me, last time I was there in Jan this year I took 2 x D800 bodies and my D4s................never again . In January I used my D800 with 600mm f4 95% of the time, and the other 10% was with 300mm and 70/200.
When I go in Feb I plan to take (maybe a new D5) with my 600mm attached plus another camera for animal scapes and people.
I am interested to hear about what you guys think about the new D5 and is the upgrade from D4s worth it??
