Nikon Z9 announcement tonight?


The Nikon Z9 could officially be released tonight after midnight EST (October 5th). I am still trying to confirm this information.

If the Nikon Z9 is announced tonight, shipping should start at the end of October or in early November, but expect the wait time to be very long given the current global parts shortage and shipping crisis. Prepare for a long Z9 pre-orders wait time.

Update – another date I heard for the Z9 announcement is October 13th.
