"Nikon (UK) have announced a significant price increase to the D4 and D800 cameras"

"An e-mail sent from Mr John Walsh, General Manager, Nikon UK at 18:00 (GMT) today, Friday, 23rd March 2012, to camera dealers in the UK and Eire, states that due to a "systems error" the RRP prices quoted previously for the D4 and D800 were incorrect.

Apparently the RRP of the D4 is to be increased by £500.00, and the RRP of the D800 is to be increased by £200.00, with immediate effect; the new prices are to be applied to all back ordered cameras. No further explanation is offered."

Nikon Wireless Transmitter Compatibility

The chart below provides information regarding the current compatibility of Nikon Wireless Transmitters with D-SLR cameras and software.

Wireless Transmitter	Nikon D-SLR Camera	Setup Software
WT-1	D2H (supports D2Hs, D2X, D2Xs with firmware 1.1 installed)	WT-1 / WT-2 Setup Utility
WT-2	D2H, D2Hs, D2X, D2Xs	WT-1 / WT-2 Setup Utility
WT-3	D200	WT-3 Setup Utility
WT-4	D3, D3S, D3X, *D4, D300, D300S, D700, *D800/D800E, D7000	WT-4 Setup Utility *Wireless Transmitter Utility only for D4, D800 and D800E.
WT-5	D4	Wireless Transmitter Utility

Check out Nikon's software download for more information regarding the latest version of each software application and operating system compatibility.

Nikon Wireless Transmitters allow the camera to be controlled remotely from a computer running Nikon software or to upload images to an ftp server over a wireless LAN. The utilities above allowed the creation of profiles to be stored in the transmitter memory for easy connection and file transfer when needed.

For remote camera control through software:

• The WT-1 / WT-2 used Nikon Capture 4.4.2 with Capture Control to remotely operate the camera. Nikon Capture (4.4.2) Editor with Capture Control software was replaced with separate applications, Capture NX 1 and Camera Control Pro 1. Only Camera Control Pro 1 had support for Wireless Connection Utility and WT-2, and not with the WT-1.


• WT-3 / D200 remote operation may be controlled with either Camera Control Pro or Camera Control Pro 2.


• WT-4 - remote operation is controlled through Camera Control Pro 2 software only.


• WT-5 - remote operation is controlled through Camera Control Pro 2 software or using WT-5 built in HTTP Server Mode for connection to Laptops, Apple iPhone or iPad.

How does the D800E differ from the D800?

The D800E and D800 are both high resolution D-SLRs, with the same 36.3 MP sensor. The difference between the cameras is that the anti-aliasing filter (part of the low-pass filter structure in the camera) on the D800E has been optically disabled.

Anti-aliasing filters are incorporated in the low-pass filter to reduce the effect of aliasing and moiré patterns that can occur in digital images. Aliasing and moiré patterns are more noticeable with subjects that include high-frequency (finely-detailed) patterns. A side effect of incorporating an anti-aliasing filter is that it reduces resolution within the image. Removing the anti-aliasing properties from the low pass filter results in improved image resolution, as the light is transmitted without being filtered through the lens onto the photodiodes in the image sensor. All other D800E functions and performance are the same as the D800; colour reproduction characteristics, infra-red coatings, anti-reflective coatings and image sensor cleaning functions are the same on both cameras.

The D800E is not suited to all users, but is intended for users who can control the conditions under which aliasing and moiré issues occur. Examples of use would be landscape and studio photography.

The D800 is more suited to general photography, for example wedding photography where the photographer is constantly adjusting to the shooting conditions and the subject matter is not controllable i.e. clothing is often a source of moiré patterns caused by finely detailed patterns.
