If this is in fact the price, Nasim Mansurov is right when saying on his blog that Nikon will have a tough time selling this DX body at this price next to a D600, as rumored. Something has to be off. I think we can all agree that anyone in their right mind would buy a roughly $1500 D600 over this Nikon D400 at $1800. So what’s the catch? Or is this all wrong? Meet me in the comments section…
