Large shipment of Nikon D850 cameras hitting US stores this week

By [NR] admin | Published: November 9, 2017


I was told that a large shipment of Nikon D850 cameras is hitting US stores this week. Based on input from readers, Amazon is currently shipping D850 pre-orders placed at the end of September.

The Nikon D850 Amazon listing now says “Temporarily out of stock” instead of the previous “Shipping in 2-4 months”. It seems that the current waiting time at Amazon is around 30 days.

The latest updates from the Nikon D850 Facebook group are that B&H is still fulfilling D850 pre-orders placed in late August (the last shipped pre-order I saw was placed on August 25th at 10pm). The B&H product listing doesn’t provide an estimated time of shipping.

Check D850 availability: B&H | Adorama | Amazon | BuyDig | Cameta | Focus Camera | eBay | WEX | Jessops

Update on the rumored Nikon Coolpix P900 replacement

By [NR] admin | Published: November 7, 2017


Nokishita recently published a full list of cameras and lenses already registered with various government agencies but not yet officially announced. Nikon currently has only one new camera registered (N1622) together with the upcoming N16F1 remove control. I believe this N1622 registration is for the rumored Nikon Coolpix P900 replacement. As Nokishita already reported, the camera was scheduled to be manufactured in the Chinese factory that was recently shut down – this could explain why we have not seen the official announcement yet:
