The new firmware update for Nikon Z f/ Z7 II/ Z 8/ Z 9 cameras has been delayed! The new firmware update, originally scheduled to be released months ago, has been postponed due to major issues with Nikon’s latest Z7 II firmware update and issues with Nikon Cloud.
Supporting Nikon Cloud functionality on the Z7 II camera is much more complex than originally it thought and due to that several other updates were also delayed or put on hold, which is the reason behind the delay of the new firmware. Internal testing results at Nikon have shown compatibility issues that require more time to fix. This may be unfortunate for Nikon Z7 II users, but hopefully, the new firmware released by Nikon will be rock-solid and not have frequent issues like the latest firmware from other companies, causing unnecessary trouble for users.
The new firmware for the Nikon Z f/ Z8 and Z9 cameras will significantly improve image processing capabilities. Stay tuned!

I never update my camera after purchasing, and the same goes for my smartphones. However, these days smartphones download updates automatically without asking for permission. I’m pretty sure cameras will start doing the same in the near future.
Agree, As cameras continue to integrate smart technology, manufacturers could implement automatic updates to streamline performance improvements and security patches, just like smartphones.
