and I still can't stop thinking about this camera.

the Nikon Z9 is a beast with more buttons

in the nearly two months that I've had with it,

but this camera's about so much more than that.

in the professional mirrorless camera race,

and in a lot of ways this camera's now winning.

Whenever I edit a full frame, I put the sound

that that camera shutter makes when you see a photo

So for example, in this video it'll kind of be like this.

This camera's fake shutter sound is awful.

This camera, it doesn't have a mechanical shutter.

Nikon, in place of that, put this fake sound in,

There is this video of Nikon representatives

in Japan clicking the shutter and you hear a meow.

that also makes me think that maybe down the line

we'll be able to customize our shutter sounds

It'd be nice to have some like old Nikon shutters in there.

on its top of the line professional models

since the 35 millimeter Nikon F5 film body

Same circle viewfinder ring, same dial layout, same grips,

same power button, and even the same battery compartment.

It changed where the camera's nameplate is

but those may be the biggest visual departures

and there's good reason for the same design.

The F5 informed the layout of the Nikon D1

The D1 was Nikon's first DSLR the company designed

into the professional digital era of photography.

The single digit D-line of Nikon's was a beloved system,

and 23 years later that same hardware design

Nikon did exactly the opposite of what all other

mirrorless camera manufacturers have been doing for years.

Instead of going compact, it made a heavy, bulky,

Canon does have the EOS R3 that has a tall body

but that camera is $500 more expensive, one pound lighter

and it's specs are not nearly as peak camera as the Z9s.

The Z9 has a new full frame 45.7 megapixels

at 20 frames per second for well over a thousand frames.

Assuming you're using a fast enough card.

with readings up to 120 frames per second

and a 3D focus tracking mode that allows for faster

more accurate subject tracking across the frame.

of incredible auto focus, but unfortunately Nikon

and their Z series thus far has always lagged behind Sony,

With the Z9, though Nikon has taken huge strides forward

I find that the camera often hunts for subjects

but in my experience out in the real world,

I find that I have a lot of trouble finding folks

In good light though, Nikon has really improved

how well it holds onto subjects as they move

And I especially love the small arrows that appear next

To show that you can switch between which eyes and focus.

In post, there's an impressive amount of room

for recovery in the highlights regardless of ISO.

Now, your exposure folks, because even with the Z9
