Nikon will no longer include USB-C charger with its Z7, Z7 II mirrorless camera systems

Nikon Japan says the omission of the EH-7P charger is due to the ongoing global semiconductor shortage.

This is according to DPRieview

Well, this certainly hampers my ability to achieve the level of photographer I dreamed of becoming. How am I supposed to work with a camera I can charge? That'd be like shooting with my view camera without being able to put film in the holders.

I assume Nikon reduced the price accordingly - right?

I’m with you. If they can’t include the chargers they should ship nothing at all. NOTHING ! I mean, are we mice, or are we iconoclasts ?!?!?

IF I understood correctly, the USB connection will charge the battery.

You may have meant “can’t”.

But you can charge the battery in the camera with the usb cable. Or buy a charger for about $10.

Or you can charge the battery all day long with the AC charger, which will still be included.

That is like Toyota saying they won't supply front seat because of a shortage of foam rubber.

As mentioned above you will still get a charger. You won't get the charger that charges the battery in camera. No big deal for me, since when a battery gets low I put a fully charged battery in the camera and the low battery goes into the charger.

NikonUSA shows an MH-25a included. That's the charger that comes with many Nikon DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras.

Isn’t it only a wire to charge in camera?
