No matter what Nikon does, no matter how good, there will be haters. Sounds familiar.

It would be even better if you didn't have to shell out the cash first. That wouldn't be a good business plan, though.

Having to shell out the cash first helps to insure that most of those who order one have some real interest.

Not only that it ensures that the you can afford it. If they takes no money up front sometimes it's quite costly for a company to collect if the buyers don't return.

They may have a hit on their hands.

"In the past few weeks the Nikon Z50 camera has moved up to the #1 spot at the BCNRanking (12/4, 12/11) and #2 spot at Map Camera."

The 30 day trial is kind of funny, since some stores are accepting returns until February 1.

IMO a very well planned and designed product aimed at a price point that is affordable to many people. Perfect time of year to release it also.

How is that different from buying with a 30 day return policy most reputable stores offer?

Sounds like a sign of desperation from Nikon, to me.

Then dont take the offer. Why cast dispersions on the hopes of other photographers to ACTUALLY MAKE PHPTOGRAPHS? If you think you cannot make good images with Nikon, then make them with another brand. Or not.

Why ask me? I didn't originate the program. I'm simply passing along some information which some may find useful.

Interpret it any way you please.

It was a rhetorical question, Bob. I was just making an observation.

I have and love my Z6 but sounds like the Z50 is the 2019 big hit like the D40 was years ago.

If the Z50 is a hit I would be very surprised.

My intent was not to “cast dispersions on the hopes of other photographers.” Don’t know how you made that leap? Anyway, my apologies if I offended you. I was just making an observation.

Opinions vary, but you may find this of interest if not seen.

Stating an act of desperation hardly takes a "leap" to dispersion. You would likely have offended anyone who decided to take the offer, and many who didnt. I will not state that im "just being rhetorical" to avert from what im saying, as that only adds to the dispersions.
