Nikon has revised the D4 and D800 price tags up to £5289.99 and £2,599.99, respectively, the manufacturer has announced.

The Nikon announcement states: “Due to a local internal systems error,the incorrect RRPs on the D800, D800E and D4 products were communicated in the UK and Irish markets at the time of the announcement.”

The increase means the Nikon D4 price will be nearly £500 more expensive than the previously reported £4799.99 figure. The Nikon D800 price tag is now £200 higher than previously announced.

Nikon says it apologises for the mistake and that it will honour the original prices on all customer pre-orders placed before 24 March 2012.
