To Be 'Nikon Correct'...

[Panther]

It's as follows:
Z 7
Z 6
Z 50

And not: Z7, Z6, and Z50

You have my curiosity. How is that better, or more correct?

How is that better, or more correct?

Nikon's official nomenclature for the name of the three Z cameras includes the space between the letter and the number.

Mike Buckley's response is correct.

space or no space.... what ever...

the real issue is "Z ed" or "Z ee" like the commercial: "Mommy, there is no more Zee "

what about "Nii kon" or "Nee kon" - Georgie Beagle

And what's up with Nikkor?

And what's up with Nikkor?

And why Micro for Macro?

 

[480sparky]

Nikkormat.

 

[Mike Buckley]

Nikkormat.

Our household has a washer and dryer; no need to go to a laundromat.

 

[Mike Buckley]

And why Micro for Macro?

They chose micro to be consistent with their name; if their name had been Nakon, they would have used macro.

By the way, my previous post was a joke, and probably not a very good one.

I’m aware Mike. Isn’t this whole thread a joke?

Zee6, Zee 6, Zed6, Zed 6. Six and one half dozen to the other IMO.

You rated my post as informative, so I was concerned that I might have accidentally misled you.

Nikon made an official statement, it is, indeed "Zee", to the dismay of 90% of the world population.

 

[Starwind]

NikonUSA puts out videos/marketing material in the US market that pronounce it as "Nigh-conn" and "Zee". So, that is how I pronounce them. Since NikonUSA has been using the former pronunciation for itself since the dark ages, I can't see them going on an expensive campaign to change things now, and so I don't see any particular reason to change either.

As an active ham, "Zed".

It's as follows:
Z 7
Z 6
Z 50

And not: Z7, Z6, and Z50

I had noticed that, but when typing it into a Nikon Cafe post, Z6 and Z7 is way more convenient. I'll probably stick with incorrect. After all, it's not D 850 or D 750.

 

[480sparky]

I think I'll stick to my D6 00s.

 

[Palouse]

I grew up with zed, and it took me forever to why Americans made a zed-zed-zed sound when they snored!

 

[Panther]

Yeah....I'm still scratching my head as to where "Zed" originated?
