Dpreview published their full Nikon Z9 review and the camera got the highest score ever (94% Gold Award): Here is Dpreview’s conclusion: “The Nikon Z9 is perhaps the most complete camera we’ve ever tested. It shoots excellent 45MP images at up to 30fps (20 with Raw), it captures 8K video in everything from 8-bit MP4s to 12-bit N-Raw. Its autofocus system is both powerful and easy to use and works well for both stills and video. It’s larger and heavier than some of its rivals, which make it less well suited to some applications, but overall it combines the best of a DSLR and a video camera in a single body.” What we like What we don’t Impressive image quality in Raw and JPEG 20 fps shooting with full AF Capable and easy-to-configure AF system Responsive viewfinder with near-zero lag and no blackout Behaves and feels like a D-series DSLR Useful range of video modes 10-bit and Raw video options Waveform display for setting video exposure Reliable and consistent AF in video Can shoot for >2hrs in most demanding video modes USB charging is useful Stepped e-shutter creates banding with fast-flickering displays No quick way to adjust Auto ISO min shutter speed JPEG-only when matching peers’ 30 fps Larger and heavier than direct rivals Customization options are extensive but don’t give access to every feature No 10-bit / HDR stills capability Check the full detailed review at Dpreview.
