Nikon D700 no longer available at Best Buy

Update: Nikon D700 is listed as backordered on bestbuy.com.

Best Buy discontinued the Nikon D300 approximately 3 months before the D300s was announced. Two weeks ago I received a tip that Best Buy has discontinued the Nikon D700. Today a NikonCafe member (registration required) confirmed that. He was told by the Best Buy manager that the “Nikon D700 was no longer available as the SKU number had been deleted and there were none available”.

Could be a sign of things to come.
