Instead of behaving as if Nikon has insulted you personally, you can simply decide not to buy it. At the moment I think the price is less ridiculous than your posts, and that means something as I think the price isn't justified if they keep this firmware version. 

And I wonder how perfect your first gen project would be. Big mouth, small skills...

LOL, of course :-)) Actually a hater like you keeps me cool - I would be much more nervous if a person of your level would tend to praise me.  

How typical and always the same - when facts and arguments are lacking, the personal attacks must follow. I wonder you brought you, thought. The low self-esteem and arrogance you are displaying usually has its roots in the childhood.

If you were able to control your emotions, you would have to admit I was absolutely right in most conclusions. Who cares that something is the "1st gen product". Customers do not care when they can have more advanced and balanced product for the same or lower price. And unfortunately, the cons of Z7 are apparently not something that only a professional would meet under some extreme conditions. They are more or less a serious limitation in common all-around shooting scenarios unless you shoot static subjects and objects of course. Yes, I do think the Z7 is rather a half-baked, overpriced beta product. That is my opinion and yes, you can disagree, scream, keep offending and fume with rage but that is all you can do about it.

I actually naively expected maybe some Z7 owner would argue with my, Dpreview's and Thom Hogan's conclusions and objectively show some comparison with his/her DSLRs. Or that we would factually discussed the product. But what do I find here... Basically just two loudmouths dominating practically every discussion in this forum. 

Enjoy your camera & have a good light.
