nikon z9

Hi Community , I got my Z9 last month and have probably charged the included EN-EL18d battery less than 10 times. I've noticed that the last lights on the MH-33 charger never keep a continue lit, even if left charging for many hours -- instead, it reaches a state where the 50% and 80% charge...

This link is shared in the long official Z9 thread, but many Nikonians will probably agree it deserves a dedicated thread. They must have invested months of work in their testing and writing. https://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-z9

This merlin caught a large dragonfly for dinner.

I happen to own both the Stubby AF-S 200mm f/2.0 G VRII ED, all 3 TCs and a Z9 - In response to a question I performed a simple test - NO TC, 1.4TC, 1.7TC, 2.0TC. The first 3 shots were taken at 3.9m and the final one (with the 2 times TC) at 4.47m to ensure the test target was in the frame...

This morning I saw 4 or 5 of those drinking from a patch of flowers. :)

Saw this beautiful bird (perched pretty high) during my evening walk today. :)

My 800 PF arrived early May not long before I left on a long (and long awaited) trip into northern Kruger Nat Park. I took many more images with the 800 PF than anticipated, which meant the Z9 was mostly glued to this lens. But in retrospect, a 400 f2.8E FL has been my previous workhorse for...

I know some of you are interested how this setup performs. I took it out in the evening yesterday and this morning & so far I'm very pleased. The lens balances really well on the Z9, it's great to ditch the FTZ. No super exciting species but hopefully the samples below will help in judging the...

Nikon has a habit of changing links across those of its websites servers that host brochures and technical data. Brochures etc have a tendency to vanish. This is besides the new releases / revised editions Timeline of Previous editions of Roadmaps in this thread [ Update - new Z Roadmap...

In the middle of a burst of approx 200 photos (lossless compression, DX mode) i got 33 corrupted files. Corrupted meaning LR and FastRawViewer cannot read them. All photos before and after are ok, in total more then 5,000 photos during a trip to Botswana. Someone with the same problem, or having...

Nikon partnered with the global news agency Agence France-Presse to improve the Nikon Z9 flagship camera. This follows earlier collaboration in development of the Custom Area AF modes in the D6; this powerful feature has been migrated in FW 2.0 into the Z9 Developing a new camera system doesn’t...

I know ElenaH just posted a similar question but she is way more advanced with video than me. I will confess I know ZERO about video, it's always intimidated me. But I am leaving for Kenya in just a few days and it occurred to me I'd like to try and shoot at least a few short clips with my Z9...

I was very encouraged on a recent outing with the recently delivered z9 and my f mount lenses. I was unable to find some of the below listed lenses on the compatibility charts I had researched and was therefore a little anxious to see if they would work appropriately. Turns out all my sigma...

I never really bothered with DX mode on my D850 but I am now realising that on the Z9 it is a much more compelling proposition that I am now using a lot and loving. Z9 specific advantages: 1. Viewfinder and screen displays are automatically zoomed in so DX mode fills the visible frame 2. Small...

Nikon knocked it out of the park with this 105 Z macro lens. :) I'm just starting to dabble with macro & I'm super pleased with the performance. These are all handheld - I'll play with tripod & stacking on a non-windy days. :)

So...after months of waiting, I picked up my Z9 today. Rushed home ... unboxed faster than Jared Polin, plugged the charger into the wall, inserted the battery, and ... NOTHING. No blinking lights, no nothing. Verified socket worked ... nothing. Tried another socket ... nothing. Inserted battery...

It is great the current Nikon flagship has improved significantly. Here's a couple of initial observations after install and setup... 1. Initial testing suggests customizing one of the Wide-Custom AF modes to Single-Point with Subject-Detection has significant potential. As found previously...

Published by Tokyo HQ yesterday.... Amidst the usual jingoistic speak of a corporate mgmt strategy plan, Slide #19 is an informative read: "For pros/hobbyists "Deploy advanced features from the Z9 across the lineup" Digital cameras •Concentrate management resources in high value-added...

I just received my Z9! I am requesting feedback on real world experience on tradeoffs of lossless compression versus high efficiency*. And yes, I have read what little Nikon has to say about it. Has anyone done objective comparisons on image quality differences? What about software support...
