Look at the Nintendo Wii and its success.<br />Did they actually think a cheaper version of a D3 would be a flop, so "let's only make a certain amount"???<br />It took them YEARS to catch up to Canon...<br /><br />BTW, I'm a Nikon shooter of 10 years, not a Canon fanboy. Just not pleased with how Nikon has done business.<br />Reason why I'm a Nikon guy, I got a family member who works at NikonUSA head office.

It took them YEARS to catch up to Canon…

But that's not to say I hate the camera, because I love it.<br />I just wish Nikon came out with a FF sensor a couple of years ago - at the VERY least, a year (would have been nice).<br /><br />If I get a scoop of any kind, I'll be sure to let you know. :P Surprisingly, nope, she doesn’t. lol
