If you look at the stock market you will see that Nikon stock are down compare to last year. When you look at market shares vs. camera productions, you will see that Nikon will reduce its camera production for the next year because they will need to restructure their business. By: layoffs, by improving their business in sales and production So to all those people who are waiting for the Nikon D400, you are going to wait a long time. So get on with your life and start shooting. True Nikon User. People should realize Nikon is in the same boat as the rest of use (recession).
