Nikon Z9 will arrive on January 2023

The source was spotted by the Japanese tech news site Digital Camera Life which found the information on Yodobashi Camera, which is s a major Japanese retail chain specializing in electronics, PCs, cameras, and photographic equipment. Yodobashi Camera’s sales rank fourth among consumer electronics mass retailers in Japan, which indicates that this source is valid. When checking out the Nikon Z9 page in Yodobashi Camera, there’s a frame that states (Google Translated from Japanese): “About the delivery date of this product: The next arrival of this item is scheduled for early January 2023. We will deliver it speedily as soon as it arrives”.

Major delays in all flagships

The Z9 is not alone in this. Actually, we’ve previously reported that Canon stated that It may take more than half a year to deliver the EOS R3. Furthermore, the EOS R5 C is under review by Canon Inc. (probably due to AF malfunction in video mode in some models), which will cause further delays. However, since the Nikon Z9 was announced in October 2021, this delay is very unusual, as it makes this more than a year of delay. Moreover, according to Nikon, the Z9 orders are booming, which is a good thing. Nevertheless, those customers will need to be extra patient till they have the camera in their hands.

Sum it up

These are complicated times, and supply chains are heavily affected. However. as explained, this is an unusual delay, especially regarding a well-known company like Nikon. Of course, there’s a chance that the source is incorrect on this, and the delivery time will be reduced. On the other hand, it was mentioned by Yodobashi Camera which elevates the accuracy and thus the chances that it will take a lot of time until Z9 is delivered.

  1. Nikon has been delivering the Z 9 since December 2021. I’ve ordered mine in March 2022, and if I extrapolate how my ranking on the wainting lists changes, I should get it within the next four weeks. Others have usually also received their orders within three to four months.
