Here are some observations on the
potential Nikon announcement in September sent by a reader (thanks):
If you look across the schedules of
Nikon Ambassadors in both North America and Europe, there are two windows that really stand out. The first is the week of September 12, when a surprising number of Ambassadors appear to be wide open. The second is the week of September 26, when many of them are scheduled for Nikon events.
Kristi Odom is particularly interesting because she is suspiciously absent from both windows. September and October are prime workshop season for Kristi, so
giving up two potentially valuable weeks on her calendar is especially interesting. Something pretty important must be happening for her to leave those windows open.
Given her importance as a Nikon wildlife Ambassador – and how closely a potential
Nikon Z70 and
Nikon NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S lens combination fits her work – I think she would be one of the key people Nikon would want involved in a launch.
My theory is that September 16 was the original target date, with the week of September 12 providing the preparation/briefing window. If there were last-minute production, firmware, or logistical problems, Nikon could have pushed the launch back to the next logical window around the Nikon events.
So if I had to put money on a date based purely on the Ambassador schedules, September 29 is my #1 pick, with September 16 as my second choice.
Obviously, this is speculation – but the fact that Kristi appears to have two unusually open windows during what is normally prime workshop season is the part I find hardest to ignore.
