Nikon themselves have said that the NPS orders do not detract from the open stock sales for preordered cameras to the general public. The NPS orders will have no impact on whatever they ship in the first round of order to stores.
How can that even be possible?
There is a finite production that Nikon has created.
There is an unknown # of NPS orders they will receive.
Nikon says NPS will come first.
So unless Nikon has the capability to up production in the very short term after the NPS orders come in then NPS orders will affect the number that go to the stores in the first round of store shipments.
In the Japan press release they note they are considering increasing production but given the current climate may not be able to as soon as they'd want to. Therefore I doubt they were able to increase and make up the huge amount of NPS orders.
There is a reserve of open stock. They will ship say 12 cameras out of the 40 a store orders for the first round of deliveries. That store may have 10 NPS bodies going to that location. They don't send 12 and only 2 are available for open stock. There will send 22. So the NPS orders don't impact what the store was originally going to get in that first shipment.
i have heard this numerous times and also from B&H, Cardinal Camera and Service Photo in Baltimore who placed an initial order of 100 Z9 cameras
I spoke to CS with B&H yesterday and he mentioned the ONLY thing he knows is that their order for the Z9 bodies was 3000. No idea what's actually coming in in the first round. That's a long ways off of the number you think they ordered. I'm just hoping to be in the 1st wave of shipments
I said Service Photo in Baltimore ordered 100. Never said what B&H ordered
