The Nikon Z9 has been on sale for some time, and as the absolute flagship camera of the Nikon Z series, it has a very strong performance advantage, whether it is pixels, image quality, focus, video or comprehensive experiential performance. The official price of Nikon Z9 is 35999 yuan, and the current price in the market is close to 50,000 yuan, even under the trend of crazy price increases in the market, Nikon Z9 is still a difficult opportunity. Today, we will introduce you to the flagship full-frame micro single camera of the Nikon Z9.
Nikon Z9 flagship micro single camera
The positioning of the Nikon Z9 this time is very clear, for commercial photographers, fashion people, sports and journalists, wildlife photographers, video creators and high-end enthusiast players and other users, buying Nikon Z9 to use can fully meet everyone's needs.
First, let's talk about this focus upgrade
This time, the focus upgrade of the Nikon Z9 is very obvious, it not only continues to upgrade in terms of focus speed and accuracy, but also increases the focus from 81 points to 405 points, and now the number of autofocus area focus points is 5 times that of the Nikon Z7 II. With this feature, focusing on small objects with the Nikon Z9 will be a better experience and more precise.
In the focus recognition section, the Nikon Z9 has been greatly upgraded. This time, in addition to the recognition and tracking ability of eye focus continues to improve, it is now possible to more accurately identify animals such as people, cats and dogs, as well as the eyes, head, face, upper body and contour of birds, becoming the first camera with bird eye recognition focus under Nikon.
The detection of the Nikon Z9 has increased significantly
The detection object of the Nikon Z9 has also been significantly improved, in addition to recognizing the eyes, faces, body and other parts of people and animals, it can also detect cars, trains, planes, bicycles and motorcycles. The Nikon Z9 can detect focus directly on 9 types of objects simultaneously, both in video and photo modes, which makes focusing and switching easier for us.

The Nikon Z9 adds the ability to track focus in 3D in focus, and Nikon is also the first to apply this focusing technology to a micro-single camera. 3D tracking focus is very similar to "missile lock tracking", that is, after we focus on the subject, the camera can lock the tracking focus regardless of the irregular movement of the subject. This focusing technique is more conducive to photographing wild animals or sports, such as football matches, basketball games, lions chasing antelopes, and so on.
Shooting in low-light environments, the Nikon Z9 supports the low-light focus of the -4EV, which is the same level as the Nikon D6 flagship SLR camera. With this focusing ability, we can more easily let the camera do the focus work by itself when shooting news, sports, wildlife or video.
New 45-megapixel sensor at the core
The Nikon Z9 is a flagship camera, so it's characterized by high image quality, high speed, and high sensitivity. This time, the Nikon Z9 uses a 45-megapixel stacked full-frame CMOS sensor, paired with the new ULTRAD 7 processor. Therefore, through them, the advantages of high image quality and high sense are reflected.
A live-action sample of the Nikon Z9
With 45 million pixels, the Nikon Z9 has excellent resolution, no matter which subject matter is taken, the picture can show rich and clear details. Including the video, the level of picture quality perfectly explains what a flagship camera is.

In addition, as a flagship camera, the Nikon Z9's high-sensitivity noise control capabilities are naturally excellent. Despite the 45-megapixel feature, it is well known that lower pixels are easier to achieve excellent noise control levels, the Nikon Z9 still performs very well at ISO 6400, and in our tests, the picture below ISO 8000 is still available. When the ISO is raised to 12800, there is a noticeable increase in noise in the picture, but there are not many shooting environments that can use such ANOs.
Cancel mechanical shutter, 1/32000 sec. shutter and 120fps continuous shooting speed
The Nikon Z9 has a very big feature, it is the first full-frame camera under Nikon to eliminate the mechanical shutter design, so we will be very quiet when shooting, and there is no concept of shutter life. In addition, the electronic shutter design maximizes the scanning rate to ensure minimal rolling shutter distortion, which is to say, to reduce the jelly shutter effect during high-speed continuous shooting.
Due to the electronic shutter, the Nikon Z9 achieves a shutter speed of up to 1/32,000th of a second, compared with a previous mechanical shutter speed limit of 1/8,000th of a second. With faster shutter speeds, we can more easily shoot during the day with very large aperture lenses, such as F1.2 or even F0.95 aperture lenses, which previously needed to be experienced in a relatively dim environment.
Nikon Z9 continuous photos turned into GIFs
In terms of continuous shooting, the Nikon Z9 also has a terrifying strength. Under RAW/JPG(L), the Nikon Z9 can perform high-speed continuous shooting capabilities at 20fps, and can shoot for 50 seconds continuously, with a continuous shooting range of more than 1000 shots. This way we can take a whole set of photos in its entirety.
The Nikon Z9 supports high-speed continuous shooting at up to 120fps
At a full size of 45MP, the Nikon Z9 can achieve continuous shooting at 30fps; in 11MP mode, the Nikon Z9 can achieve continuous shooting capabilities of 120fps. The Nikon Z9 officially has such a terrifying continuous shooting capability because of the new EXPEDID 7 image processor.
8K 30p video shooting for more than 2 hours in a row
Among Nikon's micro-single cameras, the video capability of the Nikon Z9 is currently the highest level. The Nikon Z9 is Nikon's first full-frame camera to support 8K video recording, and it can record up to 125 minutes of 8K 30P video or 4K 60P at room temperature, so it has a very obvious competitiveness.
Video options for the Nikon Z9
The Nikon Z9 can record 8K time-lapse video in the machine, supporting in-house recording 4:2:2 10bit and N-Log. The Nikon Z9 can also record slow motion video in 4K 120P, and the 4K 120P specification video supports H.265 (HEVC) or ProRes 422 HQ encoding.
Due to the large size of the Nikon Z9, it has a very prominent performance in terms of heat dissipation. With this feature, when we use the Nikon Z9 to record high-resolution video, we will not interrupt recording due to heat problems. In addition, the focus and stabilization of the Nikon Z9 have been greatly upgraded, so we can get better pictures when shooting videos.
Nikon Z9
The Nikon Z9 is not just one of these advantages that we have introduced, due to limited space, there are many details of the design and advantages that we have not listed. For example, the fuselage protection of the Nikon Z9, the multiple protection measures of the Nikon Z9 for the sensor, the efficient RAW format brought by the Nikon Z9 this time, the tolerance performance of the Nikon Z9, etc., these are also the embodiment of the competitiveness of the Nikon Z9.
However, the current status quo of the Nikon Z9 is that even if the price is increased, it is a state of hard to find, the simple reason is that the global chip shortage and the impact of the epidemic cannot be produced at full capacity. So if you want to buy a Nikon Z9, wait a minute.
