I seriously doubt if different camera groups have their own
marketing depts, ordering & parts systems, support organizations,
sales force, etc. By the way, I was a software engineer for
over twenty years and worked on the international space station,
among other projects. I got tired of engineers wanting to only
work on "cool" things, whether we could sell them or not. I found
it quite amusing that engineers always blamed marketing (and every
one else) for product failures, while marketing usually blamed
engineering for the same failures. Neither group took the time to
understand the other group.

You should read rec.photo.equipment.35mm sometime. There are a
*lot* of confused people there, even ones who have posted for a
long time. If Nikon had unlimited resources, they would release
the D1/D1X and D100 in the same month and eliminate the confusion.
But they do not have unlimited resources, and are forced to leap-
frog these two product families.
