Introducing the New Nikon Z 9 | Flagship Z Mirrorless Camera

[@22welcome]

I am wildlife photographer, Z9 is the best choice ever , fortunately I have it 🤗 , thank you so much for this amazing review about this legendary Camera ever 📸💞

[@gentleman0678]

Nikon!! You knocked it out of the park with this camera!! Grateful for all the updates as well!

[@rasmus_mattsson]

This is hands down the best overview of the Z9 out there. I'm surprised other Nikon pages (Europe etc) doesn't show this one as their main video as well. Mark Cruz is an exceptional presenter as well, there's not a single time I've seen him stutter or miss a beat. I'm so impressed not only with the video but with the Z9 and Nikon, really well done! Finally a camera to replace several cameras! /Rasmus

Tony needs 240 fps RAW to catch Chelsea running in their backyard

[@raredreamfootage]

This is the first zero fluff, true to the adjectives product release. It's all about the internal Prores baby! Now please also add Prores 422 LT and Prores 422 in all recording modes internally and you're set to go! I never use H.264 or H.265 anymore, it's all Prores or some sort of compressed RAW for video.

[@christhemarketingguy]

Great job!

[@alexcortez3007]

No mechanical shutter, less moving parts. Now that is a true solid state camera!

[@osbornecropfield4058]

#MarkCruz What a great presentation, Mark Cruz!

[@Moriningland]

I bought a z7ii and immediately sent it back; just couldn’t get over the lack of a pro feel over my d850. I thought the z9 would be great but I didn’t want to spend 7k just to start in a new system. But, at this price point, I can see myself actually moving over to mirror less in the next year or two.

[@nb7524]

Oh Nikon, we’ve been waiting for this sensor! Way to bring the heat with a camera that doesn’t overheat!🔥 Please quickly bring this stills AND video beast new sensor of yours down to the Z7 and Z6 and continue to expand your awesome lenses.

Hello Mr Mark I have question why dose Z9 have less autofocus points then competitors also I would like to know I did order on launch day at 8:15am from Amazon 🇺🇸 and 3rd day from B&H also way long when Z9 announced input my name on waiting list from one more Nikon dealer so how soon I can get Z9 ?

[@dfg297lpopdirk]

does it do focus shift

[@CO8848_2]

Colors are so different from different brands. This look just like the d40 I had 10 years ago.

What about using a TC with non Z glass(using the FTZ2)

[@jocg9168]

Wow! Z9 is a beast! I'mso proud to have my Nikon camera and lens so happy they finally made such great update on everything! But I'm wondering if for video they would alow to record on external fast SSD like Red camera or Blackmagic is much more cheap then cards they are using, don't get me wrong I have a bunch but 2TB SSD is fast as the cards or more and 2TB we can record Raw a lot shooting. 😉 that would be so versatile camera on the shootings.

Will the 3d eye AF tracking be available for the z7ii any time soon? Thanks

[@danielschmaderer]

I see the sensor is stacked. Does it also have BSI? I don’t see anything on that.

[@nikonusa]

Hi Daniel - Yes, the Z 9 comes with a Nikon-developed 45.7MP BSI stacked CMOS sensor, coupled with the new EXPEED 7 image processer. Learn more at nikonusa.com/z9.

[@danielschmaderer]

@@nikonusa Thank you for clearing that up. For some reason, I couldn’t find it on the website. It says it’s a stacked sensor, but I didn’t see anything about it being a stacked BSI sensor.

[@puremind2931]

I always use nikon. I have nikon d3300. I was very happy with its sharpness and quality. A few days ago, from nikon's website, I downloaded firmware update, 1.02 and lens data 2.018. After that image quality became very bad and sharpness in totally gone. After zooming the image, it looks like a cellphone quality image. Now, can you help me to get my old firmware version 1.00 and lens data version 2.02? I will be grateful.

[@nikonusa]

We'd like to help figure out what happened! Please contact our troubleshooting team for assistance with this matter by using this link: bit.ly/3GN3qiV

[@agupta96]

Will the AF system come through a firmware update for the Z6II and Z7II?

[@newguyg4297]

I would think yes to an extent. Of course one cannot forget that the underlying hardware between the Z6/7ii series is vastly different than that of the Z9.

[@tomrockwell6630]

YT needs a "wow" button to go along with the "like" button.

[@doronletzter]

[@ginotarabotto]

What happened to the nikon z6 ii firmware update? There has been no major update in so long 😟

[@nikonusa]

Hi Gino! We will continue to release firmware updates to enhance performance for existing Z series cameras. You can download the latest firmware at: bit.ly/3KkY4xz

[@dasdo0408]

"robust communication pathways", "processing power and incamera intelligence", and "breakthrough algorithm developed through sophisticated deep learning technology"!!! The end is near. The Nikon Z9 is Skynet!!!

[@tectorama]

I doubt many will be available until Spring 2022.... Also don't expect any major upgrades to the other Z mount Nikons. That might affect sales of Z9. I don't expect they will bring the specs of the Z7ii up to the level of the Z9 AF. More likely they will bring out a Z7iii . Then how long before there's a Z10 ?

[@newguyg4297]

Well given that the underlying hardware is entirely different yeah I wouldn't expect the Z6/7ii to be anywhere near the Z9 capabilities. Expeed 7 in Z6/7iii is of course the likely route, but I would anticipate some improvements with new firmware release for the Z6/7ii

[@eddiecarrascojr]

So this is what you have been cooking up Nikon. Very nice, here's my money.

[@Arieeeee]

Two things that bother me: Flash Sync speed is only 1/200. It seems like we keep going lower and lower. My first DSLR was the Nikon D40 which had a sync speed of 1/500 in iTTL mode and could be even 1/1000th of a second if in manual mode! It was insane that I could balance out the harsh middle of the day Sunlight with a single SB-600 flash. I should have appreciated it more because once I went to the D90 and later D600/D610, all of that was gone. I guess it's good that at least the newer cameras have a lot more dynamic range so I use artificial lights a lot less but it's disappointing that the fancy electronic shutter still scans instead of just fire up all the sensor pixels at once. The next thing is the FTZ adapater...the first one should have included AF-D lens support and the 2nd one should have been the compact AF-S only. That way everybody would be happy but nope, Nikon is turning its back on their older lenses even though they are perfectly fine.

[@Litmus63]

Mathew Jordan Smith why would you want to shoot wide open? That increases the odds of your subject (relating to this video) not being in focus because the depth of field is too shallow. Or am i wrong?

The buffer can only shoot 20 frames a second in "high efficiency raw"? That is the same size and information as a large JPG? Will the camera's buffer choke out using 14 bit RAW?

[@felixdamith1]

you are in the wrong channel

[@jfphotography69]

It's 14 bit RAW, just uses a NEW more efficient algorithm.

[@nikonusa]

Hi James! The New RAW format retains the same high image quality, dynamic range and flexibility as conventional RAW files with approximately 1/3 smaller file size., This allows for more than 1000 frames capturing 14-bit RAW files When using select CF Express cards.

[@alphajam1]

@@nikonusa Thank you! if I do shoot 30-80 frames in a second in full raw, which I doubt, in full raw how long will the buffer take to clear when i pause for 80 more shots?

[@alphajam1]

Is this in FULL 14 BIT RAW? 45 megapixels 20 frames a second? "A defensive back intercepts the quarterback in the end zone, and runs the entire length of the field." 50 seconds of shooting in a single burst.

[@jfphotography69]

Yes, 14bit RAW.

Nikon main problem now is losing money losing in market going broke on the verge of bankruptcy. Their focus on body be like sony but their major problem on their very limited lens selection and build quality..cheap crap. Their ergonomics of bodies confusing looking and lacking noone wants flip up screens. Compacts replaced by smartphones nowadays in market. Fuji cameras five fourths like a niche and for vintage like shooters...old school..their tech ergonomics is more confusing layout design got more manual controls and dials.
