Nikon Z Series Service Advisory - Root Cause Known?

Well this seems simple enough. If you like the pictures you get shooting with this camera keep it, if not switch.

Welcome to the Cafe by the way.

 

Nikon taught me several years ago not to be an early adopter of their products. But I'm thankful for those of you who are. Otherwise it wouldn't do me any good to wait for the bugs to get worked out  

 

Here's some more info, not much, but . . . Nikon Z6 and Z7 IBIS Service Advisory - Photography Life

Also, Shun Cheung over at Photo.net writes:

"Based on responses I have read on the web, apparently only a small percentage of the cameras are affected.
And somehow isolated serial numbers are affected, not some consecutive range. For example, I checked the following Z6 serial numbers (and then some). The affected ones are not consecutive.

• 3009719 not
• 3009720 Affected
• 3009721 not
• 3009722 Affected
• 3009723 not
• 3009724 not

And there are reports that there are parts hold repair delay. In case you have a Z6 or Z7 that is recalled, I would wait a bit (e.g. a few weeks) and see how the repair goes before sending it in."

 

Most companies are not going to be 100% transparent on an issue like this. I also find that front line agents and sales people tend to know less than I do about these things.

I believe they are left in the dark intentionally to prevent sensitive information from being leaked.

If Nikon issued a recall, their engineers know what and why and are prepared to have it fixed.

 

I agree.
But of course, the internet knows better    

 

I agree completely with this. Applies to all manufacturers, from Boeing to Nikon.

 

We've had a few of these recently; first post, provocative question, then silence!

 

Trolls can take on many forms.

 

Fortunately Nikons don't kill people.

 

Can we delete the thread and lock the OP's account?
