I don’t mind waiting til summer, I’m also waiting on a van I ordered in October and that will also likely be summer or fall. Looking forward to warmer days and new toys!
And the end of COVID!
You have the right attitude. Refreshing as hell in this “I need it now” world.

These are difficult times for many people, living in the now is great but when times are tough, looking forward to positive experiences can be healthy and rewarding to one's emotional state.
Anticipation can be a powerful incentive to keep pushing towards my goals and motivate myself to be the best I can be today.
At least, this is what I try to tell myself lol.

Z9 planned for delivery today. Not sure if it requires signature so may have to pick it up tomorrow morning from the depot on my way to the lagoon for some BIF action.....if so, will be bringing my USB-C power-bank in case the battery is dead so I can get it charged and get shooting without having to go back home.

I think it means that he is planning on eating popcorn while reading Arbitrage's Z9 reports. No matter which way he goes with it, it will potentially spark some spirited thread discussions.

You got it, sorry to the others for confusion.
If I need to explain it, I'll try short, he uses different brand top cameras, it'll be interesting to hear his opinion.

?? Not sure I understand.
Sony a1 with 70-200 f/2.8 GM II is approx 1.7Kg
Nikon Z9 with 70=200 f/2.8 S is approx 2.7Kg
That is about 2.2 lbs more for the Nikon.
I guess I am just jealous that at my age that matters. I do wish I was young enough that it didn't.
