Nikon Japan Issues Official Apology Over Significant Nikon 1 V3 Shortage
- Thread starter rick_reno
- Start date
Makes you ask if it's selling like hotcakes or was a low inventory manufactured?
I think it is simple. With the underwhelming response to the V1/V2 at inception, Nikon figured that 4 V3's would be sold immediately. Obviously they did not bother to check with the dealers who had pre-orders, heck, that would be cheating. So they did what any smart company would do, they produced 3 times as many as they figured would sell.
That first dozen went pretty darned quick now, didn't they??????

Well, there's me, and maybe two other people, on the backorder list. It's going on 7 weeks. They can apologize all day, but I sure would rather see a delivery date.
I've got one ordered.
no shortage in Oz. they arent selling any of them apart from the one i bought super cheap.
Mary if you want, I'll see if the local shop has one in stock...

Hey, Mate, why don't you do right, grab Mary one and send it to her
Well, it's an option, of course, but I have this really good bundled deal set up at B&H, and I really want the whole package. V3 (comes with grip & EVF), FT-1 lens adapter (free), 30-110mm N1 lens ($146). Total $1343.90. If your local shop can match that, I'll buy it right now.
Mary, take him up on this offer, it worked for m
Called them up at lunch - none in stock.....
Well, I guess all the V3's in the world have sunken Down Under!
Still lots of stock here. I just bought the last VF in oz, at least a 4 week wait for those according to nikon, but loads of cameras.
