Even if he did he clearly changed his mind.
Thom is an incredible resource for Nikon users, almost a reason to shoot Nikon by himself. There are no equivalent to his books for Canon and Sony cameras. At least I couldn’t find anything coming close.
He is also a very knowledgeable observer of the camera market. His opinions are spot on 95% of the time.
To me the most likely Z9II isn’t listed in his options though. It would be btwn complete overhaul and modest and would include #1, #2, #3 and #5. Everything but a new imaging sensor. Similar to what Sony did with the a1 mkII.
But… recent comments from Ricci hint strongly at the possibility of a Z9II with a brand new global shutter sensor and at a Z9 firmware update. Which would be aligned with Nikon’s philosophy to deliver paradigm shifts with their flagship bodies. Nobody has forgotten how innovative the Z9 was with its electronic shutter only.
Cheers,

Except that Thom Hogan actually publishes books for various Sony cameras equivalent to his Nikon books.
The lack of a mechanical shutter was a deletion not an innovation. Nikon has had to make continuous software updates to try and compensate for the lack of a mechanical shutter.
