The question is whether it will be more of a D80+ or more of a D300-Lite? <BR/><BR/>Nikon has not been shy about keeping cameras around for a while, but I doubt they are going to try to not "hurt" the D200 with the new D80+/D300-Lite.1001 noisy camerashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10296123143499134309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-33503686057802734552008-05-28T23:27:00.000-07:002008-05-28T23:27:00.000-07:00the d300 retailed at £1299 at launch (if memory serves). it's now down to £979 with the same online retailer.<BR/><BR/>many retailers have stopped the d200 so does that mean a d80 replacement will slot in soon between the d60 an d300?Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05165918541194607143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-2432807671320210072008-05-28T10:43:00.000-07:002008-05-28T10:43:00.000-07:00Interesting numbers! Currently D300's predecessor, the D200, is going for just over $1100 in the US market.<BR/><BR/>Different prices in different markets have been an interesting point, and there are so many variables to consider, which makes it a fun topic to discuss and speculate on.<BR/><BR/>What if they were testing that price point in Norway to see how it does, and perhaps that's where a D80-replacement (D90 or D300-Lite) would come in?<BR/><BR/>The D80 did cause a little bit of "discomfort" to D200 owners at iuts time, so perhaps a D90/D300-Lite might do the same?1001 noisy camerashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10296123143499134309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52320012243458416.post-2633832653093946642008-05-28T10:18:00.000-07:002008-05-28T10:18:00.000-07:00D300 prices are going to get much lower over the next few months.<BR/><BR/>Over the last three weeks Norway's largest photo chain have sold the D300 at a price equal to 2000USD, as a special offering. <BR/><BR/>Why does that matter? Usually camera equipement in Norway cost 70-80% more than in the US. At least with the exchange rates these days...<BR/><BR/>So a price of 2000USD in Norway would equal a price of 1200-1300USD in the US. If you can turn a profit on that in Norway, or at least not loose any money, why can't you do it in the US as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
