Amazon’s Nikon D800 Preorder link

According to our info, PhotographyUNcapped is showing that there are 2 models; the Nikon D800(Amazon), and the Nikon D800E(Amazon) which is sans anti-aliasing filter. This should produce super sharp imaging, with the possible cost of some small moire’ (pattern distortion) in certain kinds of subject matter and conditions. Many photographers have been voiding their warranties on other dSLR’s by removing the anti-aliasing filter themselves.
