Where are they all?

OK.. So maybe I have gone a little crazy about finding a D3. With all the new features and speed I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. It seems that finding one is pretty hit and miss. While there are still lots of people waiting on pre-order lists for these gems some people have walked right in and grabbed one.. WOW!!

Well I managed to find myself one at a store in the midwest. I still have one on order thru Ritz but I think I will be canceling that order as my new D3 should arrive sometime tomorrow.

Food for thought.. If your customers have 5K to spend on your new product wouldn't you want to keep them happy and sell it to them.. It seems according the the forums that Nikon is not letting on as to how many are shipping. This keeps all those waiting guessing as to when their lucky number could come up. It would be nice if NikonUSA would let people know they have X number filled for NPS and X number shipping for the rest of us. At least this would let some people sleep at night knowing that either they are getting it for Christmas or they will be waiting till next year. The dealers certainly do not seem to know..

My next mission will be to find a type E screen for it. That may have to wait till I am in Japan as finding one in the US could be a challenge. I am going to make a few calls tomorrow to see if anyone knows if they are available to even order yet. Well maybe I will have some thoughts on the new camera tomorrow.
