Z 9

This is the second Z9 I own. Got the first one back in 2022 shortly after they came out. The Z9 is effectively a "software defined camera". Having no limitation of a mechanical shutter (other than the one protecting the sensor) its capable of doing things that prior to its introduction are unimaginable. For example flash sync is up to 1/8000 of a second. There is zero EVF blackout while shooting. You can shoot 200 FPS. The AF is absolutely incredible. And firmware updates are always adding new features. I have more than a quarter million images shot on my first Z9 without any issues whatsoever. Solid and reliable my Z9's have been bounced down dirt roads in the back of my truck, stuffed into overhead bins on aircraft, subjected to -10 F to 110F temperatures and always worked flawlessly.Really the only thing the Z9 won't do for you is drive its self to the shoot and take the pictures for you.

I've had this camera now for a few weeks and just becoming comfortable with all of the features - I'm incredibly happy with what this camera can do! I only purchased one lens (so far) that was compatible with the Z9 (the 50mm 1.8S) and purchased the FTZ II to use the rest of my lens arsenal. I couldn't be happier with the focus, clarity, and functionality of this camera - totally blown away with the features now that I've had a chance to explore them. It's my go to for sure, with the D850 as a reliable backup!Wildlife shooting just got a LOT better!

On a Z9, this lens gives perfectly sharp photos from the center to the edges of the image. It's extraordinary! Facing the sun is not a problem, I often use a GND 2-3 stops Nisi 150mm. Zooming in on the computer screen, you are surprised to see a beautiful image even at 200/300%.

Esta es la cámara esperada por mi, el seguimiento de aves es espectacular, el diseño y la ergonomia es lo que esperaba, el peso para mi no es un problema, aunque tengo 66 años, es igual a mi Z7II con el grip.

Truly an amazing piece of equipment. Well built, ergonomically designed and a joy to use. It is different than my D850 and required a different mindset, but I love it!

I can't imagine needing anything more than the camera. I am a wedding and portrait photographer, and this is my most valuable tool in the bag. I was with another brand for the past 5 years and came back to Nikon specifically for this camera, and it was the best decision I made for my business. Awesome autofocus, great battery life, ergonomics are amazing for portraits, and superior image quality with plenty of room to crop. Great job Nikon!
