Nikon D750 is being silently recalled

Nikon-D750-DSLR-camera-lineart
Nikon USA is quietly pulling D750 inventory out from retailers and will be replacing it with new cameras that do not have the reflection/flare issue. Currently Amazon doesn’t list the D750 at all on their website, Adorama is out of stock, while B&H is listing the camera as back-ordered. The new batch of D750 DSLRs is expected to reach retailers in early February.

Update: BestBuy also removed the D750 from their website.

Last night Nikon announced four new Coolpix cameras:

I already reported on the Coolpix S3700, the other three camera were not mentioned on the Russian website novocert.ru – this means that Nikon may still announce new models that were not on my list for the CP+ show.

The new Coolpix cameras were not announced in the US.
