I am sure that Nikon are fulfilling the USA demand preferentially. There are a few D500 out in Europe but not many. Hopefully the second batch will allow us in Europe to be supplied but I fear that they will be too late for my trip this summer.

LCE told me today my D500 should be with me later this week as another small batch is due.

Collecting my D500 from LCE in Southampton tomorrow morning. My friend in Camera Club also getting his from Wex, so small 2nd batch now in UK but plenty of outstanding orders still. Mother duck with her new ducklings taken D810 with the 80-400mm lens. Still very pleased with results from it and hope it will work even better on D500!

I think that Nikon have handled the launch supplies of the D500 very poorly. Most manufacturers try to build launch stocks so that preorders can be fulfilled nearly immediately. Since there was no D400 they should have assumed that the demand for the D500 would be very high (which apparently it is) and so built up large launch stock. The D5 stocks are fairly plentiful apparently so you can go and get one off the shelf! Going to wait for the D700 replacement ?D900?.

Not sure why you are surprised JK? Every digital Nikon I've bought at launch was on short supply or on back order. The D5 has had its first flush...it won't be long before D500s are on the shelves as well. While you are waiting...would you delete the above blank post. Got so excited I hit post before typing.

All blank posts are gone Eric. I havent really desired a new camera at launch since the D3 and now the D500. I got the D300 and D600 about 6 months after launch. I had a D2x and D200 on first day release along with others. Maybe sales dynamics have changed but in reality it is about good market and sales planning that feeds into manufacturing to make sure that launch stocks are adequate. Never mind money is ready and every month wait is no problem in itself for me as I have many quality cameras that I can use.
