    Compelling potential upgrade for Z6II users
    General Overview:This review is coming from the perspective of a long time Nikon user who has also used Canon in the past. Like a lot of other people, I was intrigued by the potential of better auto focus with the Z9. This obviously applies more so to people that like to capture photos of moving objects (vehicles, animals, people, etc.). In my time with the camera thus far, I have photographed people running, jumping, walking, and dancing. A lot of my work also includes portrait photography, and some of that involves freezing a movement versus a person always standing stationary. While I am able to capture a lot of what I want with the Z6II, the Z9 allows me to capture a higher number of keepers under the scenarios mentioned above with similar camera settings. One of the other reasons I was interested in the Z9 was for video purposes. The 8K functionality is cool, but it is something that will be used more in the future and not right now due to the storage needed to work with hours of footage. My bigger interest was internal 10bit H.265 (SDR/N-Log), Prores, Prores Raw, and 12bit N-Raw. As I eluded to earlier, 4K is plenty good enough for right now. Each format has advantages and disadvantages I will get into a little more below. As a whole, it has been a great camera. The colors look accurate under most scenarios with proper white balance. Photos are processed primarily in Capture One, but I still use Lightroom sometimes. Keep in mind that as of this writing, Nikon’s high efficiency raw files are not supported in Capture One yet, but I’m guessing it will eventually be supported. You’ll need to use the larger format or do all of your editing in Lightroom instead. For video editing, you need Davinci Resolve Studio to edit N-RAW, Final Cut Pro to get the most out of ProRes RAW, but it can still be opened in Premiere if you are only an Adobe user. As a small note, N-RAW is way smaller than Prores RAW for 12bit internal video. The camera as a whole is much heavier than the Z6II, but if you are coming from a pro level DSLR with an integrated battery grip, it won’t be a big deal for you. There is a lot of customization options, say take your time to learn what you need for either the photo or video work that you will be doing. I have been shooting a lot of photos and videos with San Disk and Lexar CF Express cards with no issues. I’ve used the camera with triggers from Godox and Wescott with no issues. My Atomos Ninja V connects with a full size HDMI, but it won’t record ProRes RAW if you want to avoid the high cost of expensive 512GB high performance CF Express type B cards. It does work well as a monitor, viewing false color, and recording ProRes if you want to use it for that purpose.Video: The waveform option for video has been a useful addition. I’ve been able to take pictures for 30 minutes, shoot 1.5 hours of continuous 4K 24p footage without it overheating, no error messages, and more before only bar disappeared from that battery. I burned through one Z6II battery doing similar tasks for a similar time frame. In general you can shoot over two hours of continuous footage in one take, assuming you have a big enough card. A 256GB card will get you at least two hours of H.265 10bit internal SDR/N-Log at 4K 24p. I believe N-RAW at a similar resolution, but 12bit, will be over an hour, but 60p will be less.I’ll provide more feedback on photos and video after another month or two of usage.

    Nikon Z9 Review
    The Z9 is great camera for professional photographers. However, if you are not a professional photographer, you will most likely have to dedicate a large amount of time to learn the camera and its capabilities.

    Amazing all-in-one camera.
    It’s a solid feeling camera. I have no worries in weather as it’s a Nikon and built like a tank. It’s lighter than the D6 which is nice but it’s FAR more camera than a D6. The video options are endless.. ProRES and NRAW 4K and 8K up to 60fps. I used it for video and it did not disappoint. Period.I’ve seen this camera shoot 4,000 still images on a single charge. I’ve gotten 1,800 with plenty of battery life. The menus ar e the best in the business in my opinion. Organized, clean, and informative. The touch screen is accurate, quick, and plenty detailed.It’s got phenomenal stills quality with a great base 64-ISO which makes your images look like glass and super clear. You won’t be disappointed. Best in class video with the best in class price all mated to the best in class Z glass that are cheaper than the competition yet as good or better. Nikon is on the up.

    YOUR KEEPER RATE JUST WENT THROUGH THE ROOF!
    Yeah, I’ve had a lot of Nikon DSLR’s…D3, D700, D4, D5, D6, D500, D850. Just sold my D6 and D850. This out does them all. Trying currently to get a second Z9 but at the time of this writing…hard to come by. It really makes the older DSLR’s seem like toys. Don’t want to shoot with them now. They can’t match the speed and AF system the Z9 has. I shoot almost ALL SPORTS action!! My other DSLR’s are no match for the Z9. 20 fps, 30 fps, 120 fps…what do ya’ need? The Z9’s got it all. It smokes all the others. Got older F mount glass and hate to invest in all new glass? Not to worry…the Nikon FTZii adapter allows you to use F mount lenses without quality compromise. I’m getting stellar performance from my F mount lenses. So glad I bought the Z9. The keeper rate for the sports action shots I do has skyrocketed!! The subject detection…people, animal, vehicle, etc. matched with the Z9’s 3D with eye detection will blow you away! Look up reviews on the Z9 and you’ll see why the Z9 mirrorless is THE WAY TO GO!! I’m so glad I made the move (I was so anti-mirrorless for a long time) because it is definitely the future of photography. MAKE THE MOVE. NIKON Z9!!!

    Bad battery
    Purchased my Z9 on Amazon – directly sold by Amazon. Straight out of the box, found the battery to be defective – it would not charge. Unfortunately, Amazon wasn’t able to offer an exchange. Called Nikon customer service and for some strange reason even they didn’t offer a battery replacement and directed me back to Amazon. So, I am returning this camera back to Amazon and will instead buy from B&H.

    The Best Nikon Mirrorless Yet
    I’m absolutely blown away by the Nikon Z 9. The pure speed of the autofocus and how well the focus sticks to the subject is too hard to describe in words. The build quality is top-notch, and the sensor shield is a much-needed touch that all mirrorless cameras should have. The camera powers up and powers down quite quickly as compared to the Z 6ii. The articulating screen is large and bright.In terms of picture quality, it is consistent with previous Z cameras. I have not done side-by-side comparisons with my Z 6ii.My one complaint is the image quality of the electronic viewfinder. To me, the picture quality is not as good as the Z 6ii. This has no effect on the final image. Sometimes, the EVF also seems to lag. However, these are only small issues to me.I cannot recommend this camera enough.

    Cumple con lo esperado. Producto nuevo.

  9. edofleini –

    It will take you a while to sort through all the features but I am very impressed with the new “pin point” focus feature that allows you to get through the leaves and branches to the bird. In combination with the “animal” option that locks on to the birds head and eyes the photos are much more pleasing. I am very happy with my Z9.
