According to the Nikon US press releases, the latest products (Z9, 100-400mm, 24-120, and FTZII) are expected to start shipping “within this year”. I have not seen any exact shipping dates for any of the online retailers:

I already reported that the interest in the Nikon Z9 camera has been extraordinary and long delays should be expected. My guess is that the Z9 will be in stock for the first time in 12 months from now. Similar reports started to appear online:
Amateur Photographer: “While Nikon has not confirmed this, it does seem to be the case that UK dealers are witnessing a blizzard of orders for the camera, the exact release date of which has still to be confirmed.” The owner of Grays of Westminster said this: “We saw the highest number of pre-orders in a single day in our history, and we’ve been in business for 35 years. It even eclipsed the D850, which was off the charts, and the D3“.
Nikon Japan online store: “Since we have received a large number of reservations for Z 9, it may take some time before delivery” (click for larger view).
