Pros: Silent shooting, AF and buffer decidedly performing, shutter / curtain to protect the sensor for lens changes, video section
Cons: Batteries of questionable duration, ergonomics not up to the level of the reflex flagships, unwatchable viewfinder, files not up to expectations
Opinion: Faithful to the motto that only the dead fish follows the current (so I remain very happy at Reflex), I remain of the idea that ML represents years later, a project that is still immature and to be developed in the future with all the unknowns of the case. The camera body of the Z9, finally, is not embarrassing like the Z6 or the z8 or the various Sony models and so on but coming from d5 I am used to a certain ergonomics, which only d4, d5, d6 or Canon 1dx mark2/3 can give me. The terribly dense and noisy file of the z9 does not correspond to my way of photographing at all. After all, throwing 45 million Megapixels into that 24x36 does nothing but reduce the size of the photoreceptors, and the game is soon done, noise, noise, noise already starting from 3200iso. In short, light years away from the purity and beauty of a file produced by a Reflex flagship mentioned above. That viewfinder creates further disturbance which, obviously in my opinion, is misleading and definitely far from the good old mirror. The batteries, despite the high amperages, do not last long, a natural consequence of the energy required by the camera body following the absence of the mirror. However, the video section, for those who love filming, is objectively excellent and the autofocus above the rosiest personal expectations. In conclusion, I pass and I will not buy it despite having handled it quite a bit. Photography, for those who have understood it, does not require continuous replacement of equipment, sometimes the idea, the light, or as the good Thoreau said in his time "It doesn't matter what you are looking at, but what you can see". |
