Pros: An evolutionary leap !

Cons: is a Mirrorless

Opinion: I abandoned the D5 & D850 to switch to the Z9 for now I am very happy as it brings together both those I had in one. Obviously on the other hand are the limits of all mirrorless, beyond this, to exploit it thoroughly I think it is appropriate to update the optical park to the Z series. To make the most of the speed you also need to change the memory cards using the CF.

Pros: Flagship with capital A

Cons: It is addictive and the slot door could have been made a little more comfortable

Opinion: Really well built machine, it has everything a demanding photographer could want. Tested on different fields and I could not find real limits, you ask and she answers, the more I use it and the more I want to shoot, the only real problem is that it really creates so much dependence. Fantastic ergonomics, even if large and heavy I consider it well balanced.

Pros: Autofocus, file size, overall responsiveness, high iso (compared to Sony Alpha 1)

Cons: Does not have live zebraing for highlights, card door opening mechanism

Opinion: The Z9 is a car bomb. It conveys a reassuring feeling of solidity and is extremely reactive in every respect. The autofocus is its strong point, even in low light situations it is extremely precise, and in general invites you to use the optics at maximum aperture even in sports photography. At high iso it certainly behaves much better than the Sony Alpha 1 that already at 3200 iso begins to have a noise in my opinion absurd. With the Z9 I took photos even at 10,000 iso, which if well exposed offer surprising results for a machine that still has a huge file. The viewfinder is also too bright and I had to lower the brightness by two bars to get the photo corresponding to what I saw. In this case the Sony has the convenience of being able to set the zebra (flashing of the white areas of the photo) live in the viewfinder, which is convenient when maybe you wear sunglasses outdoors and you have an objective reference of the exposure. For the moment on the Z9 you can only set it when you look at the photo taken. Another small drawback is the opening mechanism of the door to access the card compartment which is less convenient than that of the D5, but actually the new system has left useful space for the buttons that compared to the SLRs have changed position. The side button for selecting the focus mode is very convenient and the whole machine and the three front buttons are super customizable. If you need a fast and reliable machine, the Z9 is your machine. Review update: After three months of daily use, I find myself having to add a "cons". In fact, the machine in low light conditions has serious difficulties in focusing. Although on paper it has a respectable EV reading for autofocus, in practice it does not hook or does it extremely slowly compared to when there is more light, I am talking about photos taken at night with poor urban lighting, and even when using the flash the problem remains because you can not (at least I have not succeeded) to operate the support light of the SB 5000 or that of the machine itself. The Nikon D5 was definitely more responsive and precise in focusing in situations of little or very little light than the Z9. I hope Nikon solves this problem with updates. N.B. shooting with the Nikon 24-120 f4 Z and with the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 G ED VR II with adapter for the Z system.

Pros: I would say everything, from ergonomics, to finishes, EVF, autofocus, burst, sensor

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Dear Nikonist friends and not, I recently retired the Z9 and the first thing I thought doing the unboxing is "hell for me is too much .." Imposing, heavy but with fantastic ergonomics, it grips very well and the finishes are of excellent quality. Stunning the EVF, bright and devoid of any blackout, perhaps does not have the highest resolution on the market, but who cares goes to God !! Similar but more extensive menus I repeat to the Z7 II, however always very familiar for those who are used to the Nikon world. Fantastic tilting LCD, I find it really innovative. There are many items related to the autofocus menu (I have not yet tried them all and the battery is currently under charge), made two shots on the fly to the dog with immediate and precise hooking (a dream repeated to the other Z, here we are on another planet) I still have not done thorough tests for the image quality or the Hit Rate of the burst, probably in line with other brands on machines of this level. I shot in closed and poorly lit ambuenti with various artificial lights (neon, LED bulbs, ceiling spotlight) and I did not notice any banding even at 1/32,000. I go back to repeat the first impression was of joy, disbelief but also of dismay: for me it is really a lot of stuff, perhaps too much and probably I will not be up to this monster even after 25 years of photography behind (it is my first flagship .. but who made me do it ... ) for those who are waiting for it ... I believe that the wait will certainly be rewarded. I don't know if I'm going to sell my Z7, carrying around such a monster is like driving a Lamborghini for a neo patenato. Power is nothing without control. Buoana light to all

Pros: This time just everything

Cons: the existence of detractors who do not possess it or even have never taken it in hand ...

Opinion: Is there a perfect machine? Yes and it's the Z9! In it converge decades of Nikon excellence in the production and design of flagships. Compared to the flagships of the past, it fits perfectly into the line of no compromises, power, speed, ergonomics and reliability. Conceptually Nikon wanted to create a flagship that was also an all arounder, thus allowing a single camera body to perform the functions previously assigned to the D850 and D6. Even the cost is low compared to the competition, given what the Z9 offers. It would be impossible to make a complete and exhaustive description in a few lines, but there are 3/4 cosette on which beats the language of the Ktester (keyboard reviewers ...) and on which it is worth dwelling. 1) The viewfinder. Simply perfect in spite of those who judge it by comparing numbers and asterisks written on the brochure: in reality it is of a total and absolute usability, the so-called "Game Changer". 2) The AF: impeccable ... 3) The performance at high ISO: equal to that of the D850 which involves above all knowing how to really use noise reduction in post production. Almost no one does it well and they blame the car. Less ISO certainly helps them but it certainly does not teach them to make PP and therefore make the most of the enormous potential of the Z9. 4) The gust... power is nothing without control... And in this Z9 exhibits an impressive constancy of results, close to 100%, with incredible AF and AE conservation. 5) Management of the optics of the F system. 6) The electronic shutter: guarantees that there will be no more mechanical parts that can be worn over time. In terms of operation, it even beats the hybrid systems that Nikon itself produces. Nothing to say: it goes perfectly. And here we are sorry for those who hastily did not believe in the Nikon SYSTEM: the long F-mount canvases rise to new life (confirming the goodness of the initial project), guaranteeing speed and precision that leave you speechless. Never give away Nikon stuff... Ah I forgot ... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
