FilmConvert has just introduced a new Camera Pack for Nikon’s flagship full-frame mirrorless model, the Z 9, which is now supported by the company’s film emulation and camera-matching plug-ins.

More recently, firmware v3.0 added an interesting digital zoom function as well as timecode sync via Bluetooth. I had the chance to shoot with the camera over the last few months, and I was blown away by the giant steps that Nikon has taken on the video side, especially when comparing the Z 9 to their old DSLR models.
