not to worry. I'm not suicidal over this fiasco. I was worse off mentally a few weeks ago. Now as things close in I'm getting a bit more conciliatory about a potential wait. I've learned from past experiences that sometimes the wait is more exciting than the actual delivery. Not every time however. I do feel the Z9 is in an exceptional position regarding moving the tech forward more so than any cameras prior. One of the primary reason I'm so stoked about it potentially being as good as advertised is the concept of no wear and tear due to the shutter. That alone is pretty exciting. The stutter free viewfinder is #2 on my excitement list. Then of course just having that yummy full pro body in my hands with the tons of immediate access buttons is something I miss from pro bodies I've owned before. Can't wait...er uh yeah I guess I have to.
That is interesting about the shutter wear and tear being what you are most excited about. I never have worried about wearing out a shutter. These things can last 250,000 clicks, and if they do fail, the repair cost is not that big of a deal. About $600 or so last I heard.
