![]() Therefore there will never be, for example, a xxx1500 duplicate in multiple country codes - they're produced in country batches. I strongly suspect that whilst there are country codes included in the serial number, the camera increment part is unique across the board. Perhaps by the end of February there will be a clear picture as to how many Nikon are producing each month. The two bodies are almost one month and 2000 apart.Īround 2,000 in a month for USA could mean 6,000 or more world wide in a month. Units which wound up sidetracked over to the repair line to straighten out failures in Final Test.Īll this makes it impossible to gauge production numbers unless one has the Secret Serial Number Decoder Pin. Units in the lower serial number range can come out well after ones in a higher range. It's rare for any new product line to exceed 70% first pass yield for some weeks. Once the line failure issues are resolved, then they think about additional production capacity. That's the usual case for a few months while they get their first pass yields up. And so on.īeing early production, I'd think there is only one plant in production. And then whichever plant runs short of numbers first, gets the next block. So we'd see units in the 5000 range made at the same time as units made in the 1000 range. Is the Z9 made in only one plant? If more than one, there will be serial number blocks assigned by plant as well. ![]()
