NikonUSA (and then Nikon Canada) lowered the minimum advertised price for the D2h to US$1995 (and apparently price protected dealers for their inventory), sending Nikon DSLR forums into a tizzy. What's it mean? After much consideration, I'd have to say I don't know. The D2h price was sliding for a long time in Japan, to the point where gray market imports could have cost as little as US$1900 if some enterprising sort wanted to try making a living at that. The curious thing is that pricing action seems to be distributor-originated, though (the D2h price in Europe appears to still be above US$3000). Is there a replacement/upgrade in the wings? Will the D2h be discontinued? Your guess is as good as mine. Whatever just happened, it was handled awkwardly at best.
