My D800 is Alive!!
I picked that bad boy up this morning from Camera World in downtown Portland, OR. I was lucky to get the D800 as quick as I did because I waited 3 months with no success before canceling that original pre-order. Holy cow this rig is heavy with my Nikkor 24-70mm F/2.8 FX aboard. Feels good. I'll tell you I'm glad I use Black Rapid's R7 strap! The shutter sounds so very different, more substantial I would say than any other camera I've owned. It's rugged and fits just right in my large hands. It took me an hour to work through the setup menus. I was glad I downloaded a cheat sheet for nature/landscape photographers. I made some minor tweaks but it was ready to shoot shortly thereafter. The RAW file size is just over 39 Megabytes. My 20"x30" saved jpgs run 4-6 Meg. I'll be putting it through its paces as we have a week's worth of hot, sunny weather predicted.

Nothing quite like having a new Toy Bob and you've had to be patient too which makes it all the more special. I'm sure you'll get used to the size in no time.
