[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 454956, member: 14443"] looking at the numbers I have to say that nikon is not in a good situation just looking at their last quarterly revenue it paints a very worrying picture. the stock dropped 11% in one day and stock is the lowest in 4 years. and almost every quarter since then has been bearish. this is not good at all. [url=http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-05-15/japan-stocks-follow-u-s-shares-higher-as-consumer-lenders-rise]Japanese Stocks Rise as Buyback Plans Lift Topix; Nikon Plunges - Bloomberg Business[/url] [ATTACH=CONFIG]158327._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]158328._xfImport[/ATTACH] many people want a D300 replacement many D700 replacement. I think the D750 is a good D700 replacement, but I dont think the D7200 is the D300 replacement. I think theyre neglecting the DX lenses people want also. 3rd party also has a [B]huge [/B]impact on their sales. economy is bad and many people are looking for alternatives to nikons high prices. lenses from the 3rd party MFR have jumped. the sigma ART lenses are some of the best glass released for nikon lately. theyre built extremely well, perform amazingly, and the price is less than nikon equivalent. same with tamron. whether its lenses grips flashes or batteries. I myself have 3 nikons flashes ive had for a few years, but have bought 6x 3rd party flashes and I dont think ill ever be buying a nikon flash again as theyre excellent. build/performance/price and for the $100 price, basically disposable. I paid $200 just to get the Sb900 flash bulb replaced. I could have bought two flashes for that price. I think nikon is heading in bad direction and has its nose up a bit too high with its stubborn ways. [/QUOTE]
