Z 9

Wow!!! I really don't know where to start? I went from a Nikon D3300 to this Nikon Z9. And to be honest, I wasn't even done maximizing my skills of the D3300. But because I shot many family videos and pictures I decided to treat myself with this Z9. And IT IS THE BEST CAMERA I could have asked for. I spend almost every day and night gathering information on becoming an expert in using this camera. I shoot with this camera every day and the shots are so perfect that I can't even explain it. I'm not a pro but yet the pictures looks so professional! Yes the camera is slightly heavy and large but I am so use to it after just a few months of using it. I always know if I made the right choice based on whether or not I would buy it again or see it again(like a new movie) and my answer to this is that, "Hell yeah, I would definitely buy it again". But before I go, within 6 months of owning this camera I bought all the S Line 1.8 lenses, the macro 2.8 and even the PLENA. The 1.8's are amazing considering the low cost factor. I LOVE MY NIKON!!!

I have been shooting BIF with the D850 and 500F4E FL VR for the last 4 years. The mirrorless revolution has redefined the playing field with game changing auto-focus and now subject detection. The Z9 is now king of the hill with the most recent firmware update so I now have one of the best combos ever with my 500F4 glued to my Z9. The commitment Nikon has shown to their new flagship camera is outstanding as they continue to release new firmware updates (unlike Sony that has not added new features to the A1). If Nikon adds the ability to recapture in raw with the next update then they will leave all competition in the rearview mirror!

It's an amazing camera. Love that it is getting regular updates with meaningful new features. Looking forward to have this piece of gear in my bag for a long time and the pictures I'll take with it!

Moving from the D850 to the Z9 I thought would be a step up, but it is a step into a new universe.The bright viewfinder in low light is phenomenal. 9 FPS to 20 FPS is just wow. Seeing the histogram in the viewfinder is a game changer for me, Being able to use my "F" lenses with the FTZ adapter was key. I haven't used the pre-capture for anything yet, but expect it to come in soooo handy when I need it. I was very surprised to find that silent mode disables the flash! That had me going. I'm still learning what the Z9 can do and probably wiil for the rest of my life. It's really versatile. I'm glad I made the headlong plunge from D850 to Z9.

I came from the D850. This camera vastly increases the odds of "getting the shot". It's way smarter than I am, meaning I'm still learning after 2 year, but I love that about it. My only criticism is that I wish it had 8 shooting banks instead of 4.

Awesome camera. So much to learn. Please bring eye touch through EVF like ZF.

This camera does everything well. I love it so much I got a second one. Ergonomically, it makes shooting easier on my hands despite the weight, and the abundance of programable buttons and features keep it flexible for any situation. The firmware updates have made this camera more and more useful and excellent. I hope Nikon continues to support their products in this manner, because it really builds confidence in the company and is more environmentally sound. When Nikon offers an updated version, I’d love to be able to send in the camera and just upgrade the components. That’s on my Nikon wish list.

Amazing camera. Well worth learning it’s options

I have been a Nikon camera owner since 1970 and a digital user beginning with the D100. The Z9 represents the biggest move forward I’ve ever experienced in the line - truly amazing in every way. Suggest that you look at the Plenum 135mm lens for its beautiful bokeh and color rendering.
