duncan_mcmorrin2 Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 OOPS! I only looked at one page, make that 23!! Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl smith Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 maybe they're trying something new? It certainly wouldn't be a surprise if nikon were to finally replace those cameras, but there's no news on it that I know of. Can't say I care that much one way or the other anyway, but if someone knows something i'd be fun to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_lehrer Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Duncan Stop me if I am wrong, but wasn't this discussed at great length as coming from "inside sources" at the manufacturer? This is an ever-changing dynamic field, so be prepared for timed obsolescence. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_falck Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Yea. They know that with the Kodak 14mp camera coming out at $4,000 that the D1x ain't gonna be worth $4,600 any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin carron Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 I have known cases where shops are overstocked and prefer cash in the till to stuff on the shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_surowiecki1 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 I saw the new Kodak digital the other day in New York, and it is definitely not going to take anybody away from the D1x. The Kodak is so poorly designed that it's comical; you can barely hold it if you want to shoot a vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markci Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Sounds like they have cameras and they'd like to sell them. Amazing how that works with cameras stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan_mcmorrin2 Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 Mark, you might have wanted to add a smiley to your last comment...benefit of the doubt has been given, though, for the sake of peace...;-) David, I was at a meeting last week where Kodak was supposed to present the 14n for us, but they "couldn't get one in time"....:-( Douglas, I'm just curious but haven't yet reached the level of curiouosity that would warrant a call from Sweden to the States...LOL All the best, Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholas marrone Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 About nobody wanting the new Kodak camera, I know some people at a very large design firm in Tokyo who have been using one and can't wait to get their hands on more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ats Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Well, maybe they have cameras. It wouldn't be the first D1x auction fraud. It strikes me as suspicious that willoughbyscamera claims they're Willoughby's, as does worldofcameras. Neither has that much feedback, and worldofcameras doesn't even use the Willoughby's logo. worldofcameras says their phone number is 1-800-916-9891 and address is 53 W 36 STREET, NEW YORK NY 10018, but Willoughbys.com says it's Willoughby's 136 west 32nd street, New York NY, 10001, Phone: 800.378.1898. Maybe they're completely legit. But there are a lot of differences... the RMA process has a different phone number than the website, but all the phone numbers are as if they'd been chosen to look similar to the official ones.... The format of the ad is completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
