D800vsD800e: Reason for price difference, my thoughts...

Post by Stany Buyle »

I was reading on several websites all kind of probably reasons for the price differences between D800 and D800e... My thoughts:
  • First of all the cost of the study, development and testing of a second model that produces slightly more resolution
  • Production cost of the replacing parts for the classic D800' AA filter which are produced in relative limited numbers.
  • The production and assembling of a camera that is slightly different but that sells 10 to 100 times less than a related similar product increases automatically the price.
  • Finally you have different boxes, different assembling, different QC, different marketing, etc...
  • And, NX2 license is included with 800E in Europe. (regular price for NX2 in Europe is 179 euros)

...
kindest regards,
