UPDATE: The Nikon Z7 II will start shipping in the US on 14 December, shortly after it ships in the UK and Japan on 11 December. Germany, however, will not see stock of the new camera until 17 December.

That's according to the latest information from American and British retailers, following the confirmation from Nikon Japan that the Nikon Z7 II would be available from 11 December in that region. 

The information comes via a story by Nikon Rumors, which confirms the shipping / delivery dates by details provided by dominant retailers such as B&H, Park Cameras and Calumet. 

The Z7 II, like the recent Nikon Z6 II, offers a moderate refresh of the original 2018 camera, with the addition of a second memory card slot and a second processor, along with improved continuous burst shooting, 4K 60p video and USB-C charging.  

ORIGINAL STORY (30 November): Nikon's recently announced next generation Nikon Z7 II mirrorless camera and Nikkor Z 50 f/1.2 S lens finally have a shipping date.

Apparently, we'll be seeing these two new products arrive on 11th December, according to this Nikon Japan page. It informs us that the two products, as well as other accessories, are expected to be released just before Christmas on 11th December. The hotly anticipated Nikon Z7 II mirrorless camera and Nikkor Z 50 f/1.2 S expand and evolve Nikon's mirrorless range and are hotly anticipated products. You can discover more details on each of the upcoming products below...
