There should be quite a few D800's around at that price come the autumn
If there are I doubt if they'll be mint.

Someone should try various cameras to see what sort of trade in value they are getting. I would bet the £1000 would be for a very good condition D800 or an almost new D610.Older bodies like a D700 will likely be around the £700 mark with D7100 around £400-£500 and a D300s around the same.
It's because Nikon continue to skip the middle ground. There is still no d300 replacement, and tbh I would have liked to have seen a 16-24mp d700 replacement. Between 1-2k you pretty much only have the d610 but I prefer the 300/700 body style.
but trade in is never reflective ofretailvalue
Jessops don't sell used cameras - which begs the question, what will they do with the trade-ins?

Why would they release a 16-24mp "D700 replacement" camera? This IS a D700 replacement camera. Why still this objection to the higher resolution? The D810 removes all the initial objections - which were shooting speed, and small buffer. You can always make images smaller, but you can't add what's not there. It's time we put the D700 to rest, and moved on. As for the D300 replacement.. just get over it. It's hugely unlikely there will ever be a "pro" DX body from Nikon ever again. What would be the point?

I've no idea what there is to whinge about. It's faster, has a massive buffer, and a shed load of really nice features above and beyond the already fabulous D800 (including the AF... that was already really nice), some seriously nice video features that challenge the 5D MkIII.
There's just no pleasing some people
It's not about pleasing current users. We're simply looking at something none of us have even used, and pondering on it. Let me check back and see did I say I'd say no to one .... nope
.... Must be one of those weird words...
Nikon won't be making a D300 replacement.
Been going on for a long time, but probably much more prevalent now. Fashion industry is entirely dependent on it.Did anyone watch the TV programme a week or so that discussed the way 'business' keeps bringing out new things with little or no benefits over the last version and how we the gullible consumer keep wanting to pay mega-bucks for the 'little or no benefits' ... it was an interesting and thought-provoking programme.
The D800/E was always a replacement for the D700 but irked those who were waiting for a replacement by having too many pixels, (for some) and a lower frame rate. I don't see how the D810 fixes those problems people will have had with the D800/E. Yes, there is sRAW, and you get 7fps, but it is also less pixels than you may have got with the D700, and it is less flexible than a native RAW file.
I think the D600 was an attempt to satisfy some of those waiting for a D700 replacement, and also to bring in a entry level FX camera for Nikon, but they gutted too many features to appeal to too many D700 users.
Please forgive people for coming on a Photography discussion site and talking about what features they'd like in a camera. Especially when it may be an update to what they may already own. The point for a replacement to the D300S is that there are people who want a high frame rate camera, with top of the range AF, more pixels than they may have, a rugged body, but don't want to go full frame, (for various reasons) and definitely don't want to pay £5k to get all of that bar the DX sensor.
I too do not think that there will be a replacement for the D300S, but again, if people want to discuss why they would want one, what's the problem? Yes it may be a repetitive subject (there are many here) but it shows that there are still people who want a camera with certain features, and a camera which they believe is not currently on the market.
Hopefully the D7*** series will eventually be good enough 'for me' to consider replacing my D300S.
4TB drives are now just a little over £100. I genuinely don't get this objection to 50MB RAW files. Even when the image is finished, and saved as a 16bit, full res TIFF... a 4TB drive will hold just over 20,000 files of that size. You wouldn't make final 16bit TIFFs of everything you shoot either.
I wish Canons did this...Looks to me like a very handy upgrade of what is an already excellent camera
Question for Nikonites that I can't find a specific answer to: will the D810 shoot 15mp Raws in DX format at 7fps with battery grip? If so, then it will truly be two cameras in one.
Well, if u live out in the sticks like me (1.5mb bb at best, generally around 1mb) larger files rule out cloud storage. Also, for many it would need a new computer as well.

Which channel please?
It's on again 12th July BBC2 "The men who made us spend"
Someone on FM forums had hands on with one. The main thing was in regards to live view. Seems its better for zooming and general view compaired to the d800 but just as bad for noise in lowlight if not worse he said.
You may also be intersted in this. Another very fine documentary on consumerism.It's on again 12th July BBC2 "The men who made us spend"
I still want to know why all the Nikon France sample images were mysteriously disappeared.
