 p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · Z9: Countdown to air shipment and release....... | |
It is planned by Nikon to assure that every dealer of theirs will have "some" Z9 and 100-400S and 24-120S products in their hands. You'll NEVER know how many they will be allocated as no doubt they are going to be in short enough supply that the full orders will NOT be fulfilled. December 15th is indeed THE date that is going to happen.
I am among all too many that are hoping and wishing I might somehow be within the limitations of said delivery quantities at my dealer that would allow ME to get a confirmation email it's on its way to me (and I even paid for "next day" delivery). I'm no betting man but I would nearly bet somehow, I'm going to end up odd man out as it's somewhat unlikely B&H, the one's I ordered from, will get their near full allocation, which I would just guess is more than 500 bodies to be sure.
Even IF Nikon were to have begun their manufacture of the Z9 back in September, according to what they've stated as their production numbers, they would only have at best 12,000 bodies. If you have been watching the news clips about worldwide dealers for Nikon, the Chinese alone would suck that up if there weren't any division of allocation to be accommodating the rest of the world's dealers. So I'll continue to hope but know I'd better have a bottle of Bailey's Irish Creme to take the bite out of the disappointment. So in short while December 15th is the arrival date in stores, it won't mean much for the lion's share of us who aren't in those miniscule numbers of bodies to be delivered. If you pre ordered fairly early on there might be a chance, we'll see it within 90 days of that date.
