100% agree

You can pre-order through stores below:

• Amazon
• B&H Photo Video
• Adorama
• Focus Camera
• Best Buy

I am actually very satisfied with the buffer performance and the overall build quality of my current setup, but the pre-order stress is just so real. Tbh it reminds me of when my friend tried to snag a Sony mirrorless on launch and it turned into this massive ordeal.

• He had orders at three different places and they all kept pushing back the dates.
• The communication from the shops was basically zero the whole time.
• He ended up waiting four months while watching other people get theirs in days. It was just like the supply chain mess with the Canon R5 release where the queue felt totally random. I love how well the new tech works once it finally arrives, but the actual process of getting it is just a huge headache...

Just pre-order ASAP before sold out.

I've been quite satisfied with my gear lately and found that avoiding the huge stores is the way to go. When I was starting out and trying to find my Nikon Z6 II Mirrorless Camera, I went the DIY route instead of following the crowd. It works well because you aren't competing with ten thousand other people at the same time.

• Nikon USA Direct
• Roberts Camera
• Samys Camera
• Local independent shops I have no complaints about this method because smaller authorized dealers get their own shipments too. Most people forget about regional chains, so the waitlists are usually much shorter. I reached out to a smaller shop for my current setup and they were super helpful with updates, which is way better than just staring at a generic order status page. It definitely makes the whole pre-order process for something like the Nikon Z6 III a lot less stressful.

When will Nikon Z6 III officially announced ?
