Question about the "pre order price" on the Nikon D800

12 years 3 months ago #200909 by Fitch
I've noticed places are offering the D800 and taking pre orders. Do you think the price will go up when they have these in stock?

As far as I know, companies have always took pre orders on any new camera that comes out. I don't shoot Nikon, but I don't think the prices will go up.

The only thing a pre-order does is get your name on the list in case they are embargoed and in limited supply.

The happened to me when the D3's came out 4-5 years ago. The dealer only got 2 to begin with and then 1 a week for a while. I waited about 4 weeks for one to come in I could get

Nikon will build them to match demand (up to their capacity). Unless you are one of those that HAS to have it NOW and buy it from a second party who got one early, I don't think the price will rise.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

If I remember rightly Nikon have a pricing policy to prevent this.

HOWEVER I suspect a lot of people will buy 2-3 of these and try and offload the spares at a profit on E-Bay.

Always happens.

It will be interesting to see how the sales of this camera perform. Will demand really buy into the 36MP?
