Never- This product launch has been as botched as Kodak's new Super 8 movie camera.

The Nikon DL cameras were cancelled. With a bit of light editing, Zeiss could even use Nikon’s cancellation press release:
Cancellation of release of the DL Series of premium compact cameras
Nikon announced today that sales of the long-awaited DL series of premium compact camera, the DL18-50 f/1.8-2.8, DL24-85 f/1.8-2.8, and DL24-500 f/2.8-5.6, will be canceled.
A June, 2016 release was originally planned for the DL series. However, with the identification of issues with the integrated circuit for image processing, release of the three cameras was delayed indeterminately.
Since then, everyone involved has worked very hard to develop products with which our customers will be satisfied. However, it has been decided that sales of the DL series will be canceled due to concerns regarding...Show more →

For a camera that didn't get manufactured, the length and duration of this thread is simply incredible. Folks keep on bumping this up. Are we this bored ?

If you consider multiverse theory, there's actually a universe entirely identical to ours, except for the fact that the ZX1 actually came out!

Not at all. It is shout out to Sony to come up with a RX2. 
Compact goodness with a BSI sensor.

I finally bought my ZX1 . . . however, it's been branded as a different make and model . . . Leica Q2.

You will never be able to buy this thing.
You will be able to rent it (and its Lightroom CC software) - on a monthly basis...

Actually renting ZX1 for a few moths would not be a bad idea. At least better than buying it

What do you think of it compared to the Rx1r2? Both in terms of IQ and usability. I keep my eyes on the B/S for that...

I only had the original Rx1. I find the Q2 to be a really fun camera to use. While it has a lot simplicity compared to the Sony A7r series, it’s capabilities are vast. I love the customization options and potential. The IQ is simply outstanding! Pure Leica and the 28mm f/1.7 lens is a joy to use. Check out the Leica image thread in the Alt forum as I have posted several color and B&W images in the most recent portion of the thread.

We sincerely apologize to all those affected by this decision, especially those customers who waited so long for the cameras to be released, retailers and others whose business will be affected, for the inconvenience this decision may cause.
Still bummed about that. I wanted the DL 18-50 so badly.
