(or you can simply google it where you will get all kinds of results.</p>

<p>I found this very interesting. I've been hearing a lot of people say that if you pre-order you'll only be paying the highest price for the camera. Apparently not so in the UK, where people who placed a pre-order are actually paying a lower price.</p>

<p>Also, is this headed over here? Maybe the UK is a test, if that goes over well, maybe Nikon will raise the prices here too. Just something to consider for all you folks out there who think waiting several months will result in a price drop, maybe waiting several months will result in a price raise!!!</p>

<p>Of course Nikon claims its an "internet systems error" that went unnoticed for several months in the case of the D4.</p>

 

<p>Indeed, we're non too happy this side of the Atlantic.. :-(</p>

<p>They're increasing the price of the D4 in Finland too, retail price expected to go up by 200€ as a result. It's market economy - prices of products in high demand and limited supply have pressure to go up.</p>
