Regular readers of this site know that I've been critical of Nikon's communications and marketing, so let me the first to praise them for doing something right: NPS members who pre-ordered the latest equipment are now getting email notifications of when their orders are being released to their dealer of choice. In general, I've found NPS to be more communicative and helpful in the past six months, so let's hope that trend continues and spreads to the consumer side, too.
