someone in this thread (i think savageduck) mentioned staples as having a better camera department than best buy and that they carry a d800.nospamTony Cooper
here's more data. i went to staples today to pick up a few odds and ends and checked out some of the electronics.
9 out of 9 cameras were non-functional with what appeared to be dead batteries. of those, only one was an slr (from canon) without a lens, so even if its battery was charged it would still have been non-functional. no nikon slrs at all, broken or not.
What is the point you're trying to make? Staples is primarily and office supply store chain. They are the largest in that field, but if Office Depot and Office Max merge, as some predict, they will no longer be the largest.
however, the point is those types of stores don't give a shit if display models work or not.
as i said originally, it's a crapshoot.
Now if their staplers didn't staple, their pencil sharpeners didn't sharpen, and their paper clips didn't clip, you'd have something to report.it does.
Whatever data you are presenting doesn't seem to relate to anything being discussed here.
