Nikon Japan announced a delay for the release of the new D500 DSLR camera. The new shipping date for the following products is end of April, 2016:
| Product name | Release Date |
|---|---|
| D500 | Late April 2016 |
| D500 16-80 VR lens kit | Late April 2016 |
| Wireless Transmitter WT-7 | Late April 2016 |
| Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D17 | Late April 2016 |
| Semi-Soft Case CF-DC8 | Late April 2016 |
| Strap AN-DC17 | Late April 2016 |
| USB cable for the terminal cover UF-7 | Late April 2016 |
| Stereo mini-plug cable for the terminal cover UF-8 | Late April 2016 |
Nikon uses a lame excuse for the delay: they cannot satisfy the demand and need to produce more cameras for the official launch (quote from Google translate: “because we cannot offer the number required for the sale, we will postpone the release date“).
The camera was initially scheduled to start shipping in mid-March.
The shipping dates are already changed on many of the Nikon D500 pre-order pages: B&H | Adorama | Amazon | BestBuy | WEX (UK) | Jessops (UK) | Amazon (UK)
