Nikon USA is shipping all new D1x models to dealers with the expanded buffer upgrade and no price increase (i.e., you should be able to get a D1x with upgrade at the same price as the un-upgraded model was previously sold at). This appears to have started in early May. Also, a coupon for Capture is also now included. Nikon Canada is now shipping only D1x models with buffer upgrades, again at the same price, but without the coupon for Capture. D1x purchasers in North America should be careful to make sure they get models with buffer upgrades rather than the original buffer. How do you tell? Take a picture and scroll through to the info page that shows the firmware version. It should be 5.x for upgraded models.
