B&H, Amazon, and Adorama have changed their expected shipping dates to Nov 16, up from Nov 30. It's only a couple of weeks but is sure better than having to report delays.

So, Bill, does this mean that you have one on the way?

I ordered the set with kit lens and adapter a while ago.

Amazon sent the FTZ adapter immediately. It makes an interesting paperweight but I'm anxious to give it a try. I have two older AFs lenses (300 & 500 F/4.0). I used to be able to hand hold them easily, but no more. I want to see if IBIS will make them useable again.

I am wanting to see pics and read user comments; I am interested in the Z6 myself mainly for its weight and size package. Not interested in the Z7 for cost reasons.

That's good news, let us know how the Z6 operates.

You really shouldn't mention "weight and
size". It causes the servers to overheat !

I wonder when Lightroom will recognize the raw files?

Mine is on preorder with Cameta. I don’t see that they predict shipping.

I need to get an xqd card before it shows up. I’m hoping to find a bargain black Friday. But not optimistic.

Curious to hear how you compare it to your D850.

Battery life might be the achilles heel. If its only 200 shots or so like the z7 then thats a fail for me. I get over 1000 shots with the d750 on one battery. Where is the d760?

The reports I've read from the field are closer to 1,000 shots. That's one of the things I'm curious about. But, it wouldn't be a game changer. It takes less than 10 seconds to change batteries so I don't see it as a big deal "for me".
