This is the official hands-on pReview of the Nikon Z9. As a reminder, it's called a pREVIEW and not a review, because the camera I was using had pre-production firmware on it. With that being said, we had three days to work with the Z9 and run it through its paces. I captured sports, portraits, low light and more. The Z9 was used to film all the b-roll clips and on-location clips. The desk portion of the video was filmed with the Canon EOS R5.

    Those who are saying that the af is not as good as sony a1 or canon r3, they must remember that this is Preproduction Z9 camera. It is not the final firmware which will be available by the time it get to the market. Besides, without side by side comparison you cannot come to a conclusion right this moment. Besides I have already watched many hands on review. Which gave an idea that, Z9 is very good, very competitive, but cannot say is better or worse. Lets wait. But its nodoubt quite brave to take the revolutionary decision to remove the mechanical shutter altogether without or with least rolling shutter.

I actually went and pre-ordered, if I'm going to spend $6K with tax, it probably be for the Z9 not Canon or Sony.

    Do you think any serious photographer would buy a Z9 through Jared's link? I mean seriously, come on..... not everything Jared says is false. In fact most is true! But there are a lot of inconsistencies with what he says. Here is one that he can't back out on. Jared states multiple times on Vahagraphies channel that you don't have to read the comments and he does not. He's states this inaccurate comment 3 times. This is obviously false as he's responded to me an many other comments on KZread. I don't believe Jared is a bad person, I think he is a very shrud business man, and I truly believe he cares for Stephen and his other employee, and I also truly believe he loves and cares for his family. That being said, he is influenced by money, just like every other human on earth. And therefore if Sony came to him with a lucrative deal and had him sign an Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA), then he can't honestly tell you if sony is paying him. In fact if he admits the truth he could go to jail, and if he lies, well nothing happens to him if he lies....

Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."

    I grew up on Nikon, and have stuck it out with them because I honestly love the company and love to use them. I was fully aware that Sony and Canon were going above and beyond anything Nikon was putting out in terms of mirrorless, but decided to stick it out because i had a feeling they were going to pull it back. I'm just happy to see that my intuition paid off, and that I will finally get the mirrorless flagship i've been waiting for...... Nikon has always found a way to revolutionize the photography game, and something tells me, that after they take the feedback from creators like yourself and others out there on youtube, they will be the ones to bring back the next step in visual revolution. Great video as always man, and happy to see Nikon is back in the game....

The dual stream for lag free EVF, the rugged pro body, advanced AF, the missing mechanical shutter of course, 8k30p for 2h, potential 8k60p and shooting at more than twice the speed of the D850 at the same resolution. A1 and R3 each have some of the features but are both missing some key features.

Let me tell you right now, Z6ll is already a HUGE upgrade compared to the D850, however I still have to admit, the D850 image quality - or to be specific, its color depth and processing is just one of the best still to this day, not just over the Z6ll but over all cameras on the market. But yeah, Z6ll was a HUGE upgrade for me, if you switch, you will not regret a single thing. Trust me! I was defending my D850 for the longest time... But here I am!

    Jared, first of all LOSSLESS compression preserves every single bit and pixel so there is absolutely no loss of quality. When it decompresses later you have bit by bit the exact same 100% quality RAW file. Second, the files will use less space and transfer quicker to your computer. And, your computer CPU can decompress those files instantly. That is not going to add any delays.

    The very definition of lossless compression is that there is ZERO loss, so when the image is decompressed it is exactly the same as the original image. If you have lossless RAW compression, then uncompressed raw is completely unnecessary. So you've got it the wrong way round. It's Sony that is just about the only camera manufacturer that does not do lossless RAW compression (except for the A1, their first camera to do it), and if any camera needs lossless raw compression it's the A7R4. Sony is the laggard in the industry here.

    That's right. He's wrong about the losing more data, the only thing he's still right about though is that it requires more processing time to "compress" and "uncompress" those photos, but honestly it seems fairly indescernible, especially when you factor that the uncompressed files will be considerably larger and taking more time to transfer and will slow you down a touch working with larger files for the same amount of data.

If ever they bring out s ZF style camera, it maybe a shutterless camera ... great review; and i agree with you that all camera systems have something great to offer making it unnecessary to be tied or locked down to one camera system.

    I don't think this changes anything. The af here isn't as sticky as canon. It's semi close to r5 and r6 but not as sticky as r3. This is definitely a great cam for Nikon shooters. But I don't think the z9 isn't aimed at the same audience as the r3 let alone the r1. The z9 is slower and af isn't as good. I would say it would be fantastic for weddings and portraits where you need more resolution than the r3.

    I was wondering if you were going to be doing something with this new body. For the reasons you've already stated, that you've pulled back from Nikon over the past couple of years, I think you'd be possibly more critical and that's good! I skipped over the D6 and got the Z7 and Z7II bodies. Now, I'm glad I waited for this body! I pre-ordered one, but I'm wondering if it wouldn't have been better to wait until it's run through its paces with photographers around the world. The mechanical shutter removal gives me a huge advantage when shooting in churches... I won't be getting the "look" anymore :) Nice reasonable review Jared, I appreciate it.
