Nikon has taken a whopping $700.00 off the Z7II. Could this mean there is a replacement body coming out soon or just a holiday sale? Or has the Z8 knocked the Z7II off? What does everyone think?
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
Dumping inventory is on the agenda, usually digital products have a fast obsolescence rate.Nikon has taken a whopping $700.00 off the Z7II. Could this mean there is a replacement body coming out soon or just a holiday sale? Or has the Z8 knocked the Z7II off? What does everyone think?

The ZF back order into next year with no delivery date in sight here in OZ makes it appear to be a winner, its basically made any of the Z6 cameras obsolete, hence getting out the 45mp version ZF sooner than later is important.
The ZF has some new indicative tech features of whats to come.
Overall the camera industry is down, any change in growth negative or positive may be often masked by pipe lining or the holding of inventrory, negative growth usually is motaivetd by discounting.
Despite static to negatove growth, margins have risin dramaticly, thats all self explanitory, cost cutting, redesigne, outsourcing, raised prices.
The days of making inventory and holding or stocking it are over, now it seems more a fill the order book going forward then make to order.
The Z9 is now retail down up to 20% the Z8 10%, my gut feeling is the Z9 is due for a replacement sooner than later and will sport hardware changes and expeed 8, the Z8 is an interim model but still pumping along.
Prices are way to high and need to come down.
Only an opinion and they can may change.
