You're such a dramaqueen! For somebody who will not buy a Z you're making a lot of fuzz and dust and hot air, dave. Cool down, dave.
first: not even Nikon rumors does know anything about shifting of delivery dates. Sources? For sure, the fiest batches are sold out and not all preorders can be fullfilled, but so far I haven't heard nor read about "months of delay"
second: don't make a bigger scandal out of something even Canon didn't consider. And a lot of cameras with two slots, INCLUDING Nikon D850, D810, D800 have one fast and one slow slot. So, all the whining about lack of backup basically is bs, as the backup card will slow down the writing process.
third: next bs coming about "few, expensive lenses" - with adapter there are over 300 lenses usable, and you don't know from own eyesight how well that works. I do and your critic is misplaced, not to say one of the people sitting at home and studying spec sheets without having a practical clue.
fourth: yes, the battery compartment is hard to understand. So? Does a single accessory make a whole system useless? Nikon sells a microphone, which is expensive and not improving much of a sound, they're selling expensive WLAN adapters, a GPS device with long delay in finding not enough satellites and some lenses which are more expensive yet not better than third party offers, wobbly battery grips with bad dials and not a single added function - you can't even charge them witout removing the batteries.
That all is already accepted, it didn't hold you or me back to buy our cameras. Yelling around about missing functions and at the same time ignoring the available (good or better) ones is rather strange - but internet real life.
