I also bought two sets from the official yongnuo ebay shop and didn't pay any import duty. Fast delivery too.

Thanks for this, I agree they look almost if not identical.

Long shot but as above does anyone know if the screens are the same size on the 430 EX and 430EX II ? Thanks, Craig.

As per the thread title, has anyone purchased from them ? Cheers.

I don't think you can beat Amazon to be honest.

I doubt it will mean anything if they say their supplier can't or won't give them any more stock. I have now heard that Amazon is supposedly going to reinstate the orders as this was due to their code picking up on the pre-orders from 7th of Feb being 90 days old now. My order is only 50...

Well it eventually happened, Amazon UK cancelled my (and many others) pre-order for the D800. Absolute disgrace that they have waited this long and now just cancelled everyones order.

Can only find one post saying that they have received from Amazon. The rest are probably all enjoying their lovely shiny D800's ! This waiting is becoming painful.

Probably a while yet, I think people who ordered with Amazon on the first day it was available are still waiting. Has anyone who ordered with Amazon received theirs yet ?

Several Months ?? That's not what I wanted to hear. Hmmm, ok, hang on and get a £500 discount or cut my losses and try elsewhere ? If it was £100 I wouldn't even think about it but £500 is a different story.

I can't answer that question Rikki but I'd like to know the same for those who ordered from Amazon ? I tried to stay away from here and tell myself not to get worked up about the delay but I just can't do it ! I'm really itching to get my hands on my D800, damn you forums !!

Lucky you, I haven't even had an apology email yet ! :)

I agree but then "We realised it was too cheap compared to the 5D3 / 1DX so we thought we'd squeeze a few more £££'s out of them" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it ? :)

Looks like Nikon may have seen sense on the whole price rise / pre-order fiasco http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/03/26/nikon-uk-d4-d800-price-rise

Me too, I had wanted to go full frame for a while and was waiting on the 5D3 as I'm a Canon user currently but the ridiculous price as compared to the "original" D800 price tipped it for me, plus I will hopefully still get the "bargain" price from Amazon. Fingers are still very much crossed !
