So when is the next scheduled press release?

I asked Nikon Singapore if I would be sorely disappointed purchasing a D3s at this moment with all the speculation of the D4 coming out, and I actually got a reply suggesting to wait for the press release.

Take what you want from that, but I’m assuming they don’t want to be held accountable for any customer dissatisfaction and would rather play it safe than suggest I go ahead with my purchase…

“It seems that the Nikon D3s is hard to get”

And I can find ‘em used here in Japan This place had 2 last weekend. I do believe the one in stock as I write this is a different one as the price is different. Price generally differs due to condition.

The place is in Tokyo. I try not to visit often because my money has a way of finding its way out of my pocket.

To use the site, select the 4th item in the 1st drop-down box (ニコン) which means “Nikon.”
Then go to the bottom drop-down box and select the # of results you want to show at one time (I always choose 100).
Then of the two buttons below that, click the Left one. Instant access to toyland.

Might want to lock your credit cards down ‘fore visiting

S220 the top seller in Europe? Nikon making lots of money to help the development of what we SLR users want. Don’t knock Coolpix. Anyway my wife loves hers, and the pictures are very acceptable. Now bring on the D700x or whatever!

Hear hear! I hope Nikon ALWAYS has at least one of the LOWEST megapixel cameras on the market. There will always be a market for such a camera, and it will always be at the cutting edge of low-light performance. I just have to laugh at now this has turned and bit Canon – They can’t go backwards now and make a 12 megapixel 5D mk3, or a 3D or whatever, because they’d get laughed out of town. While I thoroughly enjoy the D700 and EAGERLY await a D700s with dual card slots and the D3s sensor.

It is quite a reduction on the 18-200. Not so much on the 70-200. Looks to me as if it is bringing the price down to closer to the price before the new version. Probably means that they have run through most of the older stock in the channel. Suggests to me that the price reduction may become permanent in a short while.

Interesting they can make the 18-200 for so little. There is a huge amount of glass in there for the price.

If you really want a D3s you have to just pre-order. I had ordered mine through B&H and it shipped in about a week and a half, never having been “in stock” on the web site. They get more pre-orders then they can ever ship at once, so you’ll never see it in stock. (until the demand drops)

Of course, right after I pre-ordered, Adorama got 3 in stock. But if you want one, and are waiting to see it “In Stock” you’re going to be waiting a while.

Just an FYI.

Hmm nothign like sold out to suggest two things.
1) Nikon can’t make the sensor fast enough
2) Nikon miss juged the desire for more pixels in their recent stupid a$$ executive interview
