A Review of the Impressive Nikon Z 9 Mirrorless Camera With Firmware 2.0

Nikon's Z 9 turned the mirrorless camera competition into a three-horse race again, keeping the pressure on Sony and Canon to continue innovating. Furthermore, Nikon just released firmware 2.0, which makes the camera even more powerful. This great video review takes a look at the camera with the latest firmware installed and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it. 

Coming to you from DPReview TV, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Nikon Z 9 mirrorless camera. As Nikon's flagship, the Z 9 comes with a wide range of powerful features, including:

  • 45.7-megapixel stacked BSI CMOS sensor
  • Native ISO range of 64-25,600
  • 20 fps continuous burst rate in raw (30 fps in JPEG, 120 fps at 11 megapixels)
  • Buffer of over 1,000 images in raw
  • In-body vibration reduction providing up to six stops of compensation
  • Fully electronic shutter with up to 1/32,000 s speed and very low rolling shutter
  • 493-point phase-detection AF with sensitivity down to -8.5 EV and deep learning technology
  • 8K video at 60 fps with full pixel readout and 4K at up to 120 fps, with 12-bit internal raw option
  • Four-axis tilting touchscreen
  • Dual CFexpress Type B card slots
  • Dust- and moisture-resistance
  • Backlit buttons

Altogether, the Nikon Z 9 looks quite impressive, even when compared to the Sony a1 and Canon EOS R3. Check out the video above for the full rundown.

Title of this post: "A Review of the Impressive Nikon Z 9 Mirrorless Camera With Firmware 2.0" - - No, it's not - there's no review here. Click bait. Sorry Alex, but click bait is internet malpractice.

The link you clicked on does contain a review. The review is in the video. Hence, there is no click bait and there is no "internet malpractice", wtf, lol!
