Nikon Z9 first Impressions by Sravan Kumar

By [NR] admin | Published: August 31, 2024



Nikon Z9 first Impressions by Sravan Kumar (website):

Nikon Z 9, I refer in this article as Nikon Z9 or simply Z9 for my convenience, is the first Nikon flagship mirrorless camera.

Though the below are my first impressions after using Z9 for about two weeks, this is still a lengthy post. Please read this in your leisure. This article covers only the photography aspects.

I am a hobbyist bird photographer owned Nikon D90, Nikon D800E and Nikon D500 before buying Nikon Z9. Sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3 Sports DG OS HSM is my primary lens for birding and now using it with FTZ Adapter II.

I took all the images posted in this article from my balcony as my current schedules are not permitting me for any birding trip(s). Taking images from the balcony is not easy, poses bigger challenges to auto focus.

You may see more comparisons of Nikon Z9 with Nikon D500 in this article as I was using Nikon D500 as my primary camera for bird photography for over 5 years.

First rumored Nikon Z50 II camera details *UPDATED*

By [NR] admin | Published: August 29, 2024

The current Nikon Z50 model

Here are the first rumored Nikon Z50 II camera details:

  • Updated body design
  • Expeed 7
  • Flippy screen like the Z6 III
  • USB-C
  • Will use the same Nikon EN-EL25 battery
  • Official announcement: soon (before the end of 2024)
  • Same 20.9MP DX-format CMOS sensor as the Z50 (not confirmed yet, hopefully my info is wrong, and they will introduce a new sensor – Fuji for example, is already using a 40MP sensor in their latest X100VI camera)
  • Update: no battery grip will be available for the Z50 II
  • Update: compatible with the new Nikon Imaging Cloud

Surprisingly, we have not seen any significant discounts on the current Nikon Z50 model. My guess is that they will kick in next month. Renewed Nikon Z50 cameras are now selling for $658 on Amazon.

If you have any information on the upcoming Nikon Z50 II camera, you can contact me anonymously here.
