Where did I write that the D100 doesn't sell? Where did I write that they are piling up on the dealers' shelves? What I actually wrote was: > >The deal seems to be > > that Nikon get to sell surplus components (the sales of the > > D100 are disappointing), Pentax gets a DSLR without > > investing a lot of money, in return for lagging behind the > > state of the art technology by at least one year. Don't forget that manufacturers order component quantities on the basis of *projected* sales. I suggested that the D100 was selling some way below its projections, not that it didn't sell. > How can sales as fast as you can make something be disappointing. As fast as they can make? Not according to my information. And Nikon won't make more cameras than they can sell, so they need an outlet for the CCDs and other electronic components that they pre-ordered but aren't using. Step up Pentax, who can soak up all the excess (and probably lots more!). Makes good business sense. Best regards, John
