The Nikon Z9 camera will be tested by several different photographers in August. Expect to see surfing photos and videos from Mexico and more… This timeline matches with the expected/rumored release in November>December. Once the Z9 is sent out for testing, we will get another wave of leaks and rumors. Stay tuned.
The Nikon Z9 is rumored to be announced in November/December
Richard Haw (Facebook | Twitter) published a very nice and detailed report on the new Nikon Z fc camera:
Hello, everybody! Do you remember the movie “Misery“? It’s Kathy Bate’s best performance in my opinion, a masterful portrayal of a psycho. Her ability to change her acting at-will is disturbing to watch because you don’t know which side of the character to expect in the next cut. It’s not an easy job, the only other actor I know of who could do this without any effort is Anthony Wong (黃秋生) in his several roles as a psycho. Today, I’ll show you something that’s able to shift its character at-will, is it a modern, high-performance camera or is it a hobby-camera for those who wants to shoot at their own pace? It’s both and it does either really well.
