    Nikon is getting ready to officially announce the Nikon Z 9 flagship mirrorless camera body. It's rumoured that Nikon will make an official announcement next week.

    Nikon Z 9 Rumored Specifications from Nikon Rumors

    • 8256 x 5504px resolution that confirms a 45MP stacked sensor (it is interesting to note that Canon decided to go with a 24MP sensor for their R3 camera).
    • The Z9 will be capable of up to 120 fps in a lower res file size (6Mb I think). Some reports even indicated 160 fps!
    • Built-in GPS – probably GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
    • The Z9 will use the same battery as D6. There will be also a new 18-type battery (EN-EL18x) that can be charged by the camera’s USB-C.
    • The sensor has a multi-leaf blade protective shutter that auto covers the sensor when switched off/changing lens to stop dust and dirt on naked sensor.
    • The Z9 will have car autofocus in addition to animal and people AF as well as low light -7 EV.
    • Improved 3D tracking.
    • An improved articulated screen that even works in portrait mode – is a completely new design.
    • New style locking flap for the two CFExpress memory cards.
    • Third joystick/selector added to use whilst camera close face and shooting.
    • Many new menu features to tweak and match your shooting style.
    • The shutter release sound level can be adjusted from silent to loud… so you can still get that D6 machine gun sound…

      I hope for Nikon’s sake it’s good. Doesn’t sound that much better than an R5 to me.

      Stacked sensor like the R3 already puts it way ahead of the R5.

      It looks really light the way the photographer is holding it.
      It is interesting that the teaser is a model shoot instead of sports or wildlife.

      3 more teasers to go.

      The A1 has a stacked and is not way ahead of the R5

      Makes the R3 look even more lame. Lol. Hopefully this will accelerate the go-to-market for the R1, which it seems I have to wait for in order to get a full-bodied wildlife/birding camera.

      So nothing really interesting or groundbreaking at all.

      That depends. A 45mp sensor that has a flagship sized buffer (as opposed to the R5's painfully small and slow buffering) would be a significant accomplishment. Basically, it sounds like a 45mp R3, which is what a lot of people wanted from Canon. I give Nikon credit for that. Top of the line flagships aren't groundbreakers as you know, they need to be solid, steady workhorses and it sounds like this will accomplish that.

      For tracking subjects a moving subject it is. There is more to a sensor than megapixels and more to a lens than its focal length. The A1 is in a different class to the R5, and the R3 and Z9 sit on their own at the top.

      The bigger joke is the A1's 'buffer' for a 'flagship' model. But really, is the fact that we have arrived at high resolution and fps and buffers a surprise.

      What's going to be incredibly apparent to anyone who actually uses these cameras for sports and action is the fact that the R3 will easily have the largest and fastest clearing buffer... That's just how math works. 45mp is nice until you miss the touchdown because of the buffer.

      As a Fuji user for many years, I find Nikon's inclusion of Fuji's 3-way tilt screen to be an interesting decision. Both designs—3-way tilt vs fully articulated—have advantages and disadvantages. As a stills shooter, I easily prefer the Fuji design which is faster to deploy, less vulnerable to damage, vastly more compatible with L-brackets, and far more discreet in use.

      That will depend. The backup slot on the R3 is SD, the backup slot on the Z9 is CF express type b. What will be more noticeable on sports is that the R3 has less data to push down the 1 Gbps Ethernet port that can only be mitigated in the Z9 by opting to go for 2.5 Gbps Ethernet or better(2.5 is fine, 10 Gbps will likely kill the battery and produce a lot of heat).

      I think we need to wait until we know more before we pass judgment on the Z9. Logic would dictate that Nikon would not release a flagship model at 45mp unless they were confident that it could meet the demands of top level professional sports shooters. There are still many Nikons on the sidelines at high end events. Assuming it won't be able to keep up with the R3 without knowing what limitations the Z might come with makes us sound like bitter fanboys.

      Looks like a nice camera that should compete well with A1 and R3.
