Nikon Raises D3X Price 10% Due to Currency Fluctuations

If you thought the new Nikon D3x was expensive, thank your lucky, lucky stars you're not British (unless, of course, you are British, in which case you should head straight to the pub and get a pint -- watch out for those CCTVs on the way).

Nikon has jacked the price of its new high-end DSLR to £6000 ($8800) in the UK due to the slinky-like fluctuations of currency exchange rates. The original UK list price, announced back in December, was a mere £5500 ($8050). That's almost a 10% rise in one month.
