Probably the most difficult piece of information to obtain about any camera release is the actual announcement date. This is because if I get a tip saying “The Nikon Z8 is coming in early May“, there could be several different possibilities:
- Internal Nikon presentation (see also this post)
- Presentation to dealers
- Start of a teaser campaign
- Development announcement
- Official announcement
- Actual release date
On top of all that you also have different time zones and different ways of recording the date format (for example the Nikon Z8 will be announced on 05.08.23 – is it May 8th or August 5th? Is it the actual announcement or the release date or is it the start of a teaser campaign? You get the idea.
The latest I head is to expect something in early May (in the next 30 days), but as you can imagine, I have no idea what that means exactly. We also expect at least one new lens (possibly two).
