Interesting that the big USA online stores like Sweetwater and Musician's Friend haven't noted the change. They are still running the original photos and original specs, and taking pre-orders on them. People are theoretically buying Electro 7s without even knowing they are going to get these new features.
Regarding the outdated product photos, I have already contacted Europe’s largest music retailer, THOMANN.
They informed me that, until they receive not the new product, they are bound to the photos provided by NORD.
This means they can only publish the updated NE7 photos on their website once they have received the new product images from NORD.

Hallo!:) Just my 5 cents, sorry...Thomann is one of the two largest musical megastores in the world (not in Germany only), together with Sweetwater (USA), that's it.

So what? Anyway even Thomann shows the new pictures, but only in the list view https://www.thomann.de/search.html?sw=n ... 99probably they prefer to wait to get the updated model physically, to do the detailed pictures set themselves.
The simplest answer is they are taking pre-orders for a product that has significant differences in functionality and appearance. That these are upgrades (at least to some) doesn't change the old "truth in advertising" problem.
A shame that they pitch and bend control hasn't made it to the 61 waterfall keys version.
The waterfall keys do scream for pitch and bend, especially with the improved synth section
