The price of the Z9 is probably a net hit to any of us who would need to fund it by selling DSLR kit.
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
I doubt whether Sony or Canon will keep quiet.They will come back with their own plan & they do have deep pockets.I only hope Nikon has not pinched itself by keeping the price lowApology or putting it to SOny and Canon. Stealling their business. Z9 will drive glass and lower end models.
Are you sure about this? There seems to be multiple reports that you can't get 20FPS in lossless raw or if you can it is only a buffer of 40 images which is pretty much useless for action. It would be mind blowing to me if you can't but more then a few have called that out. With CFB cards I couldn't imagine they don't have a 200+ buffer at 20FPS but not what is being reported.It's exactly up to the competion, at least to the A1. With the A1 you're limited to 20 FPS unless you shoot jpeg or lossy raw files and only then do you get 30 FPS. That's exactly how Nikon implemented the Z9, you get 20 FPS for lossless compressed raw and 30 FPS for jpegs or their new lossy compressed raw modes. They haven't surpassed the Sony full image frame rates or limitations but they've matched them.
Nope, thought I was sure but that's probably me just drinking from the firehose of info released this morning and confusing some of it. Others have pointed out that the published Z9 info is jpeg only at 30 FPS.Are you sure about this? There seems to be multiple reports that you can't get 20FPS in lossless raw.

Do you have a link to this test?Matt Granger did this test with his 200 F2 and it worked perfectrly. In fact he says it brings in new life to the existing F mount glass.
I hear you! I have been trying to keep up and finally gave up lol.Nope, thought I was sure but that's probably me just drinking from the firehose of info released this morning and confusing some of it. Others have pointed out that the published Z9 info is jpeg only at 30 FPS.
I no longer own my D850, but I used my 500mm PF with it quite frequently. The lens is great and holds up to close inspection even with the D850.I'm super excited about this Z9! I have been using a D5 with my 500mm PF 5.6. Does anyone have any experience shooting that lens with the D850? I'm wondering if 45 megapixels would be too much for the 500mm pf 5.6. I have incredible images with the more forgiving 20 megapixel D5.
The only thing I've used my 500PF with has been D500 and D850 which is virtually the same pixel pitch. Super sharp. Can't tell any difference in IQ from images taken with 500 f4G.I'm super excited about this Z9! I have been using a D5 with my 500mm PF 5.6.

Crap, that's not what I wanted to hear. Looks like I'm getting another camera....haha Z9! Can't wait! I do want to be able to focus to the edges and the autofocus would be so amazing after using the D5 for so long. I also scare a lot of animals away when I start clicking. This will be fun!The only thing I've used my 500PF with has been D500 and D850 which is virtually the same pixel pitch. Super sharp. Can't tell any difference in IQ from images taken with 500 f4G.
Glad to hear! I was a little worried about that.I no longer own my D850, but I used my 500mm PF with it quite frequently. The lens is great and holds up to close inspection even with the D850.
They should have charged 500 more and gave all the D6 customers a 500 rebate
I should be in marketing
