从这么多事件中我们不难发现，近来只要是尼康新上市的热销单反数码相机，都会遭遇一回失窃。不论数量多少价格多少，都让这款相机成为当红明星。当然这样的“失窃”事件，也使得这些机型卖得更为火爆！这些到底是尼康的炒作手段还是确有其事呢？为什么别的厂商不偷，唯独就你们尼康频频失窃呢？

this is just too careless and that's outright daylight robbery.

expecting Nikon to release the serial no. of these cameras.

What to do when the cameras are good selling? :bsmilie:

 

[Astin]

From the Chinese words, its about HK$4.4mil for 5000 cameras, so each one cost about HK$880, or about S$200, not the high end DSLR.

yeah..but some how all the 2504 units of D50 were recovered, may be they realised that they couldn't get rid of them as easy as they thought :bsmilie:

Ah.. you don't start. wai :kok:

There's huge market out there for black market equipment. I can easily rid 1000 1DS MKII also. But at the rate it's sponsored to pro photographers, it's easily rid of already.
