\"Nikon<\/img>Nikon fears that its new D5100 DSLR<\/a> will suffer from a shortage of parts caused by last month?s Japanese earthquake and tsunami as the full impact of the disaster remains unclear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though the D5100 will be made in Thailand, it is not yet clear how many parts for the camera will come from ?subcontractors? based at factories in Japan.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Amateur Photographer<\/em> (AP), Michio Miwa, managing director of Nikon UK, said that, in general terms, around 10% of parts used in a Nikon DSLR are sourced from Japanese subcontractors.<\/p>\n

The Nikon UK boss expressed his concerns to AP after the company unveiled its latest DSLR<\/a> at a press briefing in central London yesterday.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, Nikon said it was still assessing the full impact of the 11 March quake and tsunami<\/a> and expressed its sympathy to the victims, one of whom is known to be a Nikon employee.<\/p>\n

Nikon said it will provide updates on the effects of the Japan disaster, through the company website.<\/p>\n
