I doubt it. I'm sure those words got twisted a bit and it's more like what everyone else is saying, they will start SHIPPING orders on 12/23 or 12/24. Remember some people on YT do it for the likes and attention. I'm sure that turned a few heads.
LOL I forgot about the Shabbat closing early on Friday's. Yep you could be right it's going to take several days into the following week headed towards New Years to get that done. Bummer.
Agreed!
LOL, this is exactly what I’m talking about. Several people within the thread have heard the same from B&H.
B&H is bigger than perhaps you might think, they have a massive fulfillment center in NJ. They are more than capable of handling the volume.
Does the warehouse shut down, or just the store? I could see it either way. Which means they wouldn't start receiving until 27 December at the earliest, worst case.
I don't believe in Santa, but the Easter Bunny is real for sure.
Well, I'm sure that if 4,000 people started getting their Z9's within the next week,. we'll certainly hear about it on DPR.... Some how I don't think that will be the case though.
The owner (Herman Schreiber) would be breaking sabbath of he had his employees work. He can get around this if he had a co-owner who was not Jewish and his co-owner had his employees work. But I do not believe he has a co-owner.
Fair enough; the difference in a few days isn't going to kill anyone.
Yes. 4,000 sounds like a lot, but it's just a little over one truckload. This assumes the Z9 is packed in a box as big as a D5 (6x8xx11 inches, or roughly 0.31 cubic feet), and a truck holds 1,1150 cubic feet.
No doubt we shall know soon enough. I will not be disappointed if it does not happen.
Hoarding ;-) and air freight! Not sure of first though, but 2nd would be very probable. Stay Safe!
It's likely that these were built before Sony started reporting to sensor shortages, and for all we know, the Z9 sensor could have been developed and in progress before the chip shortages really got bad. It's product development was announced around March, so I suspect that the sensor design may have been finalized by then and production started, perhaps at a slower pace than anticipated but that may be how they avoided the delays at least on this first batch. In fact, I think there were some prototype Z9's at the Olympics, which was at the end of July....
Considering the Z9 sensor layout, it is very unlikely that it is from Sony.
I don’t think they got around it as much as they prepared for this launch. There probably will be stretches of 2022 where you can’t get the Z9, but they seem to be reasonably prepared for a big first wave.
Put things in perspective.
