Mirrorless behemoth
The Nikon Z 9 features some truly ferocious specs, as you’d expect from a pro-grade, full-frame, flagship camera. It boasts a stacked 45.7Mp CMOS sensor and runs via Nikon’s EXPEED 7 image-processor.
It also packs Nikon’s most advanced AF system and can shoot bursts at an astonishing 120fps, making it the most powerful Nikon camera on the market.
It’s the first pro-grade camera to feature an all-electronic shutter, allowing for those incredible burst speeds and 1/32,000 sec maximum shutter speed. At full 45.7Mp resolution, the Z 9 can capture JPEGs at a jaw-dropping 30fps and Raws at a stilllightning-fast 20fps. The new AF system can detect nine kinds of simultaneous subject and boasts five times more autoarea AF points than the Nikon Z 7II.
The back-side illuminated sensor results in superior low-light performance and the EVF is the world’s brightest, and offers blackout-free shooting. The Nikon Z 9 has a deep grip with duplicated essential controls for comfortable vertical shooting. The camera is fully weather sealed to withstand extreme temperatures and records data to a pair of CFexpress Type B (or XQD) card slots. It comes with built-in Ethernet port, in-camera Wi-Fi FTP, as well as 5G smartphone connectivity via USB-C.
The Nikon Z 9 is also a powerful tool for video capture. It can shoot at an astounding max resolution of 8K 60p and 4K 120p, while a built-in microphone can capture 24-bit PCM linear audio. You can also capture 4K 60p UHD footage oversampled from 8K, to boost quality without having to store and work with huge 8K files.
