Shareholders are not complaining. The factory could not get more efficient if it wanted to. They are running flat out, they are selling all their inventory and they have something that people want and have no alternatives for.

You've got a weird definition of either shareholder or happy. They're not unhappy I'm certain, but they certainly can't like the fact that they are unable to meet demand. This is a well known manufacturing problem and if you think business owners and shareholders are whistling along a happy tune KNOWING they could have more money in their pockets now, you've got a funny way to do business.
These guys don't care about how good the D800 DR is, they don't care about high ISO noise or megapixels. They care about profits and bottom lines. What they see now is that Nikon is making lots of money selling its cameras and fo rthat they are glad. But they see that they could've made more if they had estimated demand better (you know, there are whole marketing fields just on that alone) and made the appropriate changes, they would be making MORE now. You think Apple's managers are sitting in their desks with arms crossed raving about their profits right now?! No, they are looking at ways to make MORE profits.
As an R&D manager involved deeply into manufacturing I understand all the technical difficulties behind the current Nikon production challenges. But I've also been confronted by managers and shareholders who simply... don't... care...
