Lawrence--
I keep checking with B&W in New York City but they tell me that the 8000 has
not begun to ship from Nikon. NikonUSA told me last week that it should be
in the stores. Fact is I was going in the city today to search around for
one. Where did you buy the one you have?
However, I wonder whether I should wait even if it is around given the
problem you and others are having with banding. Hopefully you will give us
updates about your problem with the 8000.
