Along with several other models, there is new firmware available today on the Nikon support site for the D800 and D800E.

This is the info from the site re the modifications made:

Modifications enabled in this version
Support for the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR has been added.
Subject tracking performance in AF-C (continuous-servo autofocus) autofocus mode with framing using the viewfinder has been improved.
Gamut for Adobe RGB images displayed in the camera's monitor has been changed. This enables more vivid display of images.
With live view photography in [M] (Manual) exposure mode, exposure preview was always on. This issue has been resolved.
In some very rare cases when certain memory cards were used, movie recording would stop, even when the time remaining display indicated remaining recording time. This issue has been resolved.
With shooting at an image quality setting of TIFF (RGB) and an image size setting of Small, the right edge of images contained a purple line. This issue has been resolved.
In some rare cases, images recorded in JPEG format could not be opened by some software applications. This issue has been resolved.
In some very rare cases, colours would change with shooting when white balance was set to a specific colour temperature, as with Preset manual or Choose color temp. This issue has been resolved.

Now I can sell my house and buy an 800mm lens!
 
I would strongly recommend that people wait for a couple of weeks before updating the firmware. Let others find any problems first!

I certainly won't be updating my D3s yet, just in case Nikon put in a special "break so you have to buy a new D4" mode. Cynical, moi? ;) :D
