Pros: Evf, Af, ergonomics

Cons: Memory card door opening mechanism

Opinion: After using it for 16 months and with over 90,000 shots I think I know it at least a little bit to be able to express a more or less definitive opinion. Given that at each firmware update new functions and / improvements of what already exists are always implemented, at the moment we are at release 4.0 and to say that it is the best ML on the market seems to me too obvious. Everything and more has been written and said about evf and dual stream technology: just try the competing flagships after using the Z9 to understand how far behind the competitors are today in this specific field. Viewfinder then that gives the best of itself in action photography and bif. As far as the af is concerned, we are clearly at the highest levels and just take a look at the numerous video comparisons on the net to see how the AF system of the Z9 is the most complete as a variety of recognized subjects, variety of usable af modes (with the custom X2 function that allows you to delimit the usable af area almost at will), greater ability to attach to long distances (coverage of 3% of the frame to have the recognition of people's faces). Starlight mode which is then a real pleasure for night photography. Another element that distinguishes it from competitors is the ability to recognize and track in low lights. Seeing is believing. Of course, the machine is very demanding and there are many parameters that can be modified to obtain the best results. I confess that even today, and with each subsequent Major firmware that is released, there is always something new to learn and that leaves more and more pleasantly surprised for the improvements that are released from time to time. Firmware policy to date promoted with flying colors. Auto capture, for one, is an outstanding feature. The ergonomics and the layout of the keys almost borders on perfection (at least for my hands). Clearly with the pro optics and with the supertele gives the best of itself. Even after 1 full day of use you never get tired of how much weight is distributed in the right places and the grip is always firm which allows you not to strain your wrist. Lots of customizable keys to your liking to adapt them to your needs. It will certainly remain in my bag for many years given what it offers among other things at a lower price than that of competitors. Excellent file quality (with the exception of the range 200-400 iso that I avoid using), dual iso at 64 and 500 iso, kept the spectacular color above 3200 iso, noise well manageable even at high iso (provided you use programs like topaz). File compression system with Tico RAW a great genius. Now I only use those. Endless gusts. Used little video but its numbers do not lie: 8.3k 60p raw in the car, almost infinite recording duration (you drain the battery first). Competitors do not even come close in this field. Perfect machine? Absolutely not for 2 reasons: first of all the opening mechanism of the memory card compartment is really uncomfortable (even if it is impossible for it to open accidentally) and, secondly, the perfect machine does not exist and never will exist. One day she will surely be surpassed by her heir but, who cares... potentially there is nothing (or almost) that can not already be done with the Z9.

Pros: All

Cons: nothing

Opinion: I have been using the Z9 with great satisfaction for just over 2 months, mostly photographer birdlife. The Z9 revived some lenses that I thought I would sell or use exclusively with the D4/D500. Af that does not make mistakes even in fast or frontal pursuit and merino that you forget the fact of being electronic. The only difficulty I had is in managing the huge files that forced me to update the PC.

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing... not even weight or price

Opinion: After months of use I realized that when I got a photo wrong it was my fault. Practically everything has already been written about the machine except maybe 2 things: the battery life is really amazing and even more the ability to hook 3D tracking .... Even in macro photos where the autofocus has always been lacking coupled with the micro Nikkor 105 Z I managed to hook bees and bumblebees in flight with a 70% of absolutely perfect shots .... Do Canon and Sony have better autofocus? It can be.... But overall, I think this machine surpasses both.

Pros: Flagship at a reduced cost compared to Nikon DSLRs and Mirrorless competitors, virtually every other feature

Cons: Memory Door Release System

Opinion: First flagship I buy, I had to wait until July 2022 despite the preorder, for me it was the first Nikon mirrorless worthy of being bought to replace the D850. The improvements (some also given by the fact that it is precisely a flagship, as well as mirrorless, therefore a different performance range) are countless: AF system finally on par with competitors (and with facial recognition), practically unlimited battery (even on days of 1000 shots, however, consumption only 1 notch of battery), finally IBIS (shooting with sigma 105 ART at 1/20s and not having shake was moving), No risk of front/back-focus and having to calibrate every lens, yield quality and dynamic range further improved. All at a price that yes, is definitely higher-end than the D850 when it came out (even taking inflation into account), but remains inferior to previous Nikon flagships and competitors in the Mirrorless world of Sony and Canon. The only thing that can be improved is the fact that it takes 2 hands to open the memory compartment, when a simpler system would have been enough. It doesn't impact my use cases.

Pros: Fast and accurate af in good light conditions

Cons: Af not very quick in low light; High noise even at low ISO in low light

Opinion: I have the Z9 for too little time to make a final judgment; I can only say that having both the Z9 and the D850, I could compare them with the same parameters and the same lens; FIRST SHOT at ISO 64 - F7.1 - 1/125sec with NIKKOR Micro 105 lens and external flash: Slightly higher as definition the Z9. SECOND SHOT at ISO 100 - F7.1 - 1/125sec with NIKKOR Micro 105 lens and external flash: evident superiority of the D850 both in terms of definition and reduced video noise in shadow areas compared to the Z9; I would say that at the moment, using the Z9 more for portraits and non-sporting events (for which Af speed and quick tracking is not critical), I am quite disappointed with the Z9; I hope for firmware updates that improve the Z9... In a few months I hope to be able to post an in-depth review, after having verified the characteristics for longer.
