…we don't say 'wow' much at DPReview, but the Z 9 is a camera that has impressed all of us. Even before we'd had one in our hands, the Z 9's specs seemed like a wish list, comprised of all the features that a professional photographer might want.

To capture moments you may never have seen before, the Z 9 captures 45.7-megapixel stills at an action-freezing 30 fps1, 19-megapixels stills at 60 fps2 to satisfy the diverse needs of professionals, and press-ready 11-megapixel stills at an insanely fast 120 fps3 — all with full AF and AE performance and no blackout.
"The Z 9 is completely next level.
Shooting action, the eye detection stuck like glue and was picking up the target from over 50 metres away and tracking a face and then the eyes through a helmet visor!
I was speechless! Is the Z 9 my Holy Grail? You bet it is!"

Black-out Free Real-Live
Viewfinder.
See more, capture more with the reliable and world's4 brightest viewfinder. The Z 9 features a viewfinder that reveals every single moment — including those previously blocked by conventional EVF or DSLR systems.
Groundbreaking 8K
Video.
With an innovative body design that efficiently dissipates heat, the Z 9 records lush 10-bit 8K UHD video at 24, 25 or 30 fps internally for over 2 hours straight* — with no risk of overheating. Need stills from your shoot? Save 33-megapixel frame grabs right from your footage.
Expanded video recording
possibilities.
With firmware version 3.00, you can now enable Hi-Res Zoom5 - a feature that effectively extends the telephoto range of a lens during video recording by recording in 8K resolution and cropped to 4K frame size, while retaining native resolution in real time, effectively doubling the zoom focal length to capture the action even closer than before.
Streamline your workflow and enjoy the freedom to shoot from any creative angles with the support of ATOMOS UltraSync BLUE. Easy and accurate synchronisation of timecode metadata across multiple video or audio recording devices is now possible with via a Bluetooth connection.
Advanced auto-area AF.
Advanced auto-area AF with 405 focus points and 3D-tracking in stills delivers a new level of focusing precision.
Enhanced electronic viewfinder.
The new EXPEED 7 image-processing engine is Nikon's most powerful yet — 10x faster precision speed compared to the Z 7II that features dual stream technology.
Dual stream technology.
The Z 9 outputs two data streams from the stacked CMOS sensor: one for writing to the memory card and one for viewing. The viewing stream is unaffected by any capture processing, leaving a pristine, lag-free uninterrupted view with absolutely no blackout.
""The autofocus modes blew me away! The speed, accuracy of the Auto Focus and 20 frames a second burst worked flawlessly even with dirt flicking at the camera. It didn't miss a beat. The AF is a game-changer for me; from shooting athletes to dancers and movement in fashion, it's going to allow me to capture so much more of the action happening around me. And the EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) is so bright with no black out whatsoever even on highest frame rate."
Capture Every
Angle.
Achieve more with Nikon's first 4-axis vertical and horizontal 8cm touch-sensitive tilting monitor that provides a comfortable and easy shooting experience. Enjoy the ergonomic integrated vertical grip that facilitates easier and more comfortable handling when shooting in portrait or landscape.
""The Z 9’s unparalleled autofocus and ISO performance deliver incredible image quality. The build quality is solid and the camera feels ergonomically Nikon. A high level of customisation and ergonomic position of controls allows for a far more responsive shooting experience. The ability to quickly adapt to changing shooting conditions means you never miss a shot."

An Electronic Shutter You Can Trust.
The electronic shutter in the Z 9 achieves minimal rolling-shutter distortion, eliminating the need for a mechanical shutter. Shoot at shutter speeds up to 1/32,000 second in complete silence, with no shutter vibration and no concerns about shutter wear.
Become Invisible.
When you need to be invisible, Silent Mode turns off menu sounds and VR Lock minimises lens drive noises. And since the Z 9 does not have a mechanical shutter, you can shoot without a shutter click — or plug in headphones so only you can hear the simulated shutter sound.
