Yes
I've been looking on line for months now, a few grey companies as well as those at home, don't have any Nikon stock at all. What's happened? Shortage of component parts?
 
Same as all the other shortages, it's the chip for the digital screens.............or lack of them.
 
Maybe that's why Panamoz raised the price of the z6 not long after I got mine, but why change it, it gives a great excuse to jack prices up.
 
I was surprised to see the price of the D850 from e-infinity has dropped I can't remember the exact price but something like £2150 with the 24-120 lens and available
 
I thought I'd just check A7iv availability but the only place with them in stock are e-infinity and panamoz
Makes you wonder if supplies are being manipulated but you would think Sony would favour official dealers
It was the same when I bought an A7Siii last year from Panamoz not so much because cheaper - but the only place I could get one (all went smoothly)

Maybe. But surely we ought to be seeing signs of the situation being eased by now?

I work for a global components distributor, and trust me, there has not been any significant improvements in the market over the last year. There have been some small gains here and there, but it will be a while before we are anywhere near normal.

Sony or others can't be seen to slash there prices without alienating there customers that paid full price, so to boost sales let the grey imports sell at lower prices and they will still get there bottom line profits.
 
Managed to source a D7500 from a local store with a shutter count <1000. Is that worrying? Repacement shutter or a present to someone who didn't like it?
