A Test of the Nikon Z 9 Mirrorless Camera's Capabilities

With the release of the Z 9, Nikon ensured that the race for best full frame mirrorless camera was a three-horse race between them, Canon, and Sony. This great video takes a look at the Z 9 in the field and how well it tackles a tricky subject, birds in flight. 

Coming to you from Jan Wegener, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Nikon Z 9 mirrorless camera and how well it tackles birds in flight. The Z 9 is one of the most interesting cameras in a long time, offering features like a 45.7-megapixel stacked BSI CMOS sensor, a 30 fps continuous burst rate in JPEG (20 fps continuous burst rate in raw and 120 fps when shooting at 11 megapixels), in-body vibration reduction offering up to six stops of compensation, and 8K video at 30 fps. What makes it so unique, though, is its full electronic shutter, which shoots at up to 1/32,000 s. Nikon clearly has a lot of faith in the shutter's readout speed, and so far, it seems like that faith was well placed, as the camera performs impressively well with fast action. And at $5,496, it presents a serious challenge to the Sony a1 and Canon EOS R3. Check out the video above for Wegener's full thoughts.
