A post by this title was created here - but of course moved to L&R because it contained a link to an off-UHH article. Although I'm a Pentax user, I think this material is worth keeping track of here, so for those who aren't watching it, here is a link to its new location.

According to this article, the D-800 was also an instant sell-out. Am I cynical for wondering whether Nikon has the habit of making small initial lots on the theory that "sell out" will generate more demand.

I'd be more concerned about their rush to ramp up to fill orders and whether product is being rushed out the door without all the necessary review steps ...

It is one of the biggest mistake in manufacturing.
1. Making something you can sell.
2. Selling something you can't make.

By having fewer cameras than demand they just create a market for people who resell them for more money but no money into their pockets. When the product is hot you want to sell it at that time. Demand will fade and you can sell them for less at that time.
Apple is very smart in this if you take notice that whenever they release the new Iphone they always have enough to sell to the people who wants one. They did it so well that the people who bought the phones when it was hot feel cheated and demand them to give refund which they did.

From a business standpoint I would much prefer to underestimate than the opposite and no you aren't being cynical just adhering to the present day mind sets. Trust is rapidly becoming a dead word.
