Pricing has not been announced, although you may have inside
information. In which case you may have violated your NDA by saying that.
BTW Does the 3200 have an articulated viewfinder?


In the UK Wex is taking pre-orders, it appears:


"The Nikon D5200 is expected to be available in December 2012 and can be
pre-ordered at Wex Photogaphic: Nikon D5200 Body only – £719** or Nikon
D5200 with 18-55 VR Lens in Black, Bronze or Red – £819**"


**price as at 6th November 2012, subject to change"

It's an estimated price. I don't understand how they can sell, without a
firm price.


The whole stock market derivatives market works on not having
firm prices. So you sell stock you don't have yet now betting
that prices will be lower when you have to fulfill the order.

If huge banks are willing to gamble away their existence in
that game, why should Wex not be willing?

OTOH they could simply make people buy *now* (i.e. with them) and
if some jump off when/if the price rises, so what? Nothing lost.
