Serious Nikon users are used to waiting, as Nikon always seem to move at their own (some say glacial) pace. Of course, glaciers sometimes surge very rapidly, so in the hopes that the powers that be at Nikon decide to okay a surge, I've added a list of the most eagerly awaited items to the left-hand column of this page and will leave it there. Each item will have a months-waiting number in parenthesis, and I'll start those off with some conservative values (I've been mentioning the need for many of these items longer than the initial wait length I suggest; besides, tomorrow the values will all increment by one ;~). Currently, the list stands at 18 items and would represent more than a full year's worth of Nikon introductions at their current pace.
If you've got items to suggest to add to this list, let me know, but be forewarned that I'm only going to put items on there that seem to have broad consensus that they're needed and overdue.
