Updated: January 13, 2022 First introduced in October 2021 , Nikon Z9 is a 46.0MP Pro Mirrorless camera with a Full frame (35.9 x 23.9 mm ) sized Stacked CMOS sensor, built-in Image Stabilization, weather-sealed body, Tilting touch screen and Nikon Z lens mount.

Pre-Shooting Buffer, Zero Blackout Viewfinder, Stacked Type Sensor, Unlimited Video Recording (no 30min limit), Anti-dust Shutter during Lens Change, Built-in Wireless (Wi-fi), Bluetooth Connectivity, 5-axis Image Stabilization, Articulating Screen, 8K at 30fps and 4K at 120fps Video Recording, No...

No Mechanical Shutter, Heavy Body: 1340g

The Nikon Z9 sees Nikon's mirrorless cameras take an impressive jump forward to match flagship rivals from Canon and Sony. The Z9 feels like an indestructible DSLR, but inside are innovative features like advanced AF tracking, 20fps raw burst shooting, 8K video and an electronic-only shutter. We also like its new two-way tilting screen. It's a shame some video features won't be available until a firmware update in 2022 and we need to give the Z9 some real-world testing, but it has the potential to be a modern-day Nikon classic.

Stacked 45.7MP sensor; Powerful AF tracking; Shoots lengthy 8K video clips; Rugged build quality; Dual-axis tilt-screen;

Some features need firmware update; A bit bulky for non-pros

Nikon Z9 is a complex and highly developed piece of imaging equipment that will reward photographers who are prepared to spend time working with it, exploring its capabilities and learning how to configure it to suit their personal working styles and the different types of subjects they shoot.

This is the top of the line Flagship Z series camera, and we can tell. It has every feature imaginable, is beautifully made, performs impeccably and is every bit the professional photographic tool.

Top class quality throughout, Superb range of lenses, Bristling with features for every eventuality, Weather sealing, VR (Vibration Reduction), Extensive video capability, Vertical grip built-in, Excellent EVF, Fast and responsive, Vibration-free electronic shutter

Quite bulky and heavy, XQD cards expensive, CF Express cards are very expensive

It has all the typical shoot assists you would expect; focus peaking, zebras, even with tonal range, audio meters and a histogram. But that’s it, which is where it’s limited. But those are enough to get you by.
