NikonUsa is not going to say anything about 12/24 because they don't drive the boat. I've had many conversations with them over the years, and they've always said the same thing: "We do not know anything sooner than you do."
Didn't Nikon Japan's official memo to the world say that the Z9 would be released on the 24th? If I am wrong, please post otherwise.
What I said, does make sense: All I am suggesting, is that their date of the 24th, tells the Christmas-celebrating world that "Hey, here is a gift in time for Christmas." People give cars for Christmas, why not a $5K camera?
That date tells me that they are way behind with the Z9 (we already know this from the Japan memo... do you not believe it?) and the 24th is the latest date they can give (to give them as much time as possible), and still be in the running for an XMAS gift. Makes perfect sense.
Again, if it is released on the 24th, nobody is going to get it in time for XMAS, but they can get the order in NOW. That is, unless it ships early (as you suggest). I think George hopes/thinks the same as you.
Believe me, I really hope that you are right and I am wrong.
Now, NPS told me that the Z9 would ship "before the end of the year. "
And you "see no reason to believe the Z9 does not start shipping today, or next week, or in January. "
Well, that narrows it down. Sorry, but could not resist that.
But it makes no sense. Order today...you are not getting it by Christmas!! So, it "shipping by Christmas" has no impact on your ability to give it as a Christmas gift because it is not shipping to YOU! (and by YOU, I mean they hypothetical person who orders now).
Exactly...I can't narrow it down. And I am not looking for clues to narrow it down, only to get disappointed when it comes after than some internet prediction.
Nikon USA knows exactly what is going on.
Nikon Japan is not Nikon Global. Nikon Japan said 12/24, not Nikon Global.
