Stock numbers are just for that particular vendor. (You have to pay attention to who it says is actually selling it -- if someone else lowers their price or the top one runs out of stock, it will simply switch to another vendor.) If it is sold by Amazon themselves and stock is low, it will usually say something like "3 left (more on the way)". When buying on Amazon, there is a mix of reputable and less than desired dealers. Make sure you choose from the whole list of offers rather than just adding to cart from whatever it says. (Personally, I would stick to "ships and sold by Amazon" for new gear, although Adorama and some other good dealers sell via Amazon also, but might as well just go to their site.)
