Don’t buy a Z8 directly from Nikon, customers say

May 27, 2023 by John Aldred 5 Comments

According to posts on Reddit, it seems that quite a few customers have had their Nikon Z8 (buy here) orders cancelled, some without any reason provided whatsoever. The only thing these posts have in common is that they were all ordered (or pre-ordered) directly from Nikon itself. This doesn’t appear to be an issue with other retailers – or, at least, not enough of an issue that people are posting about it.

The posts typically say that the customer placed their order, received confirmation of their order and then suddenly received emails letting them know that their orders had been cancelled. The issue appears to stem around bank or credit card authorisation, but exactly where the blame lies isn’t quite clear.

Nikon apologises for pre-order delays due to being sold out of the new D850

Well, it looks like the Nikon D850 is a big hit, if the pre-order is anything to go by. Nikon have actually sold out of all of their pre-order stock, and have issued a notice apologising for expected shipping delays.

I suppose it’s not really much of a surprise that demand for the D850 is somewhat overwhelming. Once the final specs were made public, and the first reviews out, there were a lot of happy people out there. And I heard talk from more than a few people talking about jumping ship from their current brand to switch back to Nikon.
