Does anyone know why RED Nikon D3100 is unavailble to purchase now? I went to buy it today, and BB didn't have it anymore; and no one had it online either. I am very disappointed....

Great camera...

I'm wondering if the Asia floods have impacted supply for a lot of retailers.  I know the D7000 is a problem where I live.

This camera was in high demand with my friends for Christmas.

Thats pretty much it.

BTW the red bodies are sold exclusively at BB last I heard.

Perhaps in America. But I've seen the Red D3100 available at non Best Buy stores travelling in Canada.

Which stores in Canada?

I don't think forum guidelines allow me to post their names. But if you Google, I'm sure you can short list some stores yourself.

Note, warranty coverage will likely be an issue the warranty is not international. Not sure how the duties and taxes work out, you need to research this.

Yah, I frequently find that when things are sold out in one country, you can shop in another country online. Sometimes the shipping is not realistic, but when availability is an issue, it's worth the hassle.

Does anyone have any clue when they plan to have more available online.  Looking to get one in the next week for a present and wondering if I can wait on the red one or just buy the black one.

I asked Best Buy about the red ones and they told me it would be months before they had any in, and that was a guess.... so since I did not want to wait, I just went ahead and bought the black one.
