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.
