But do you see any piece in it that would make it cost even $1 more than the D800 to produce?
You are like a broken record...
Do you know what a bill of materials is? Have you ever lead an engineering effort to develop audio/video technology? Have you seen their profit/loss statements for the thailand floods? Do you know what their advertising budgets or costs of doing business are?
Frankly you don\'t have a clue what is involved in an engineering effort, much less marketing effort to bring a product to market. There is *WAY* more involved than the parts costs. Please do some research before coming to half-assed conclusions about what something costs.
yes but it\'s not like the nikon D800 engineered itself for free either, come on
and I said in other posts ON THE FACE OF IT it didn\'t seem like there was anything in it compared to the D800 that should make it cost more, maybe it does, maybe it doesn\'t, but on the face of it it didn\'t look like it especially when taken with the claim that it has healthier profit margin on release than the prior generation
maybe the AF and this and that will turn out to function way better and it will be worth more than the D800, maybe not
