If you are a member of NPS and ordered the D850 and are still waiting, when did you order it and have you been told any date to expect it yet? I'm late to the game..... :(

Orders placed on August 24 are currently being shipped so, depending on when you ordered, you get an idea of where they are at - that means they have a more than 2 month backlog...

A fellow amateur non-NPS photographer got her D850 about three weeks ago through a local drug store. Apparently she pre-ordered and was number two on the list (according to the store clerk).

I am not an NPS member but I ordered mine at just before 6am on August 24th. I received mine from B&H on September 19th.

Probably a huge number ordered them on that day and they are still filling first day orders.

I am not an NPS member but preordered as quickly as I could from B&H. An email announcing the availability came a little after midnight some time in August and I happened to be awake and got up to complete the order. I received my 850 the 3rd week in September. I share all of this as it kind of illustrates the effort needed to get your hands on one of the cameras. If you remember the Nikon apology, they seemed surprised at the demand.

I think B&H and Adorama both have them in stock now. Also try Kenmore Camera in Washington state. I got both of mine quite early from them after pre-order. NPS never did come through for me. 
Good luck. IMO, this release from Nikon was handled extremely poorly. And God only knows when the battery grips will arrive.

I could only get one through the preorder for NPS so they backlogged me for the second one. I've had a couple of emails that the nikon store has them in stock (I've already picked up the second one).

I suspect that you are starting to see the cameras - but for what it is worth I ordered mine pretty early through Allen's Cameras - some NPS members already had theirs when I ordered - I am not an NPS member but mine shipped October 26 and I had it two days later.

This place says they will have a new shipment next week, and they are open to anyone - all backorders have been filled.
You might want to give them a call.

Good luck!
