How's that again? Adorama and Calumet are both selling it for $4,999. I
expect B&H will follow suit shortly--they tend not to list new products
until they can actually deliver them.

I would guess that if someone is asking $10,000 for it, they're trying to
take advantage of its temporary scarcity.

Well, ain't that a kick in the head. When I went through the search
engines, the lowest prices I was finding were just under $10,000!!!!!

If I could get $10,000 for the D2x, I would immediately become a Nikon
dealer! MAP is $4,999. I suspect that is where it will sell at for a long
time.

I wouldn't worry about it until it becomes available. Nikon is always
braggin on new models that they can't deliver on time. Meanwhile,
Canon shooters just keep clickin away!

LOL!

WHO RULES ???

The Nikon D2X body will sell for a Canadian MSRP of $6,250, with a strett
price around $6,000 which is what the Canon 1D mk.II sells for.

Q. Is suggested street price also a minimum advertised price for retailers?

Yeah, that I know, thank you. But I was just wondering if Nikon's announced
prices are usually the minimum advertised price as is usually the case with
Canon.
