I am amazed at how little real info Nikon dealers have.
Thanks @pwschladen. The owner Burke Siem is a good guy and seems well connected with Nikon, but the only info he has is ‘industry rumors’ and ‘best guesses.’ I agree with @gdsf2@@@@ , it really is amazing how dealers are left in the dark by Nikon even when it’s barely over a week until the supposed launch day (according to B&H and others).
Also interesting that Burke’s giving the 16th as most likely for Z9, a day later than B&H.
I noticed that too and thought perhaps Nikon actually releases the cameras on 12/15 and the dealers receive them the next day rather than getting them earlier but embargoed. I vaguely remember something similar with my D850 and Z7 ordered from District Camera.
That’s a good point. They may start shipping from NIKON USA in Melville NY on the 15th, and dealers close like Service would receive the next day. I’ll be curious to see if dealers outside the 1-day ground delivery zone receive theirs also the 16th from Melville via air or shipped earlier via ground. Or maybe Nikon USA is fine with actual release day being staggered throughout the US.
The other interesting question is whether it’s Nikon USA keeping dealers in the dark this close to launch, or if NUSA is actually still being kept in the dark by Nikon Japan.
Breath….I don’t think a couple days will matter, right? Plus, let’s be realistic, the vast majority of us are not in the first shipment anyway. Again, breath.
trust me I’m fine :-) I’ve been through many Nikon camera launches. It’s fun for me. I enjoy this forum chatting process just days away from launch. I will be happy for any FM’ers who grab some of the first! (especially @dcisive). Waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve has not stopped me from creating a ton of new work the past two months in five different states with my trusty D850 🤓
