If you are shopping for a high end Nikon perhaps you should order now or face delays.

Not just a Nikon problem; this from Thom Hogan

'Other camera and tech companies that have plants in Northern Japan have issued similar statements. Panasonic, Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, and Sigma all have factories that are likely going to be affected by Friday's quake and tsunami, and power infrastructure in Northern Japan will be compromised significantly with so many nuclear plants shut down and power lines down.'

It may be too late to get a top end Nikon at a good price. A week ago, on Friday, March 11th, the B&H price for a Nikon D700 was about $2400. On Monday, the 14th the price had gone up to $2700, which is where it is today. The vultures don't take long to feed on a carcass.
