NIKON Z9 MIRRORLESS DIGITAL CAMERA BODY

La cámara se siente robusta, no se puede esperar menos en Nikon, mi primera cámara reflex es una NIKON D7500 y di el salto a la Nikon Z9. Anteriormente la había comprado en AMZN pero tenía un defecto de fábrica de píxeles muertos en pantalla y la dévolvi, la encargué nuevamente y hasta el momento todo perfecto, realmente el enfoque es increíble y al ser Mirrorless se siente un manejo bastante diferente al DSLR, es pesada y con un lente teleobjetivo como el que tengo un 200 -500 mm más, prácticamente es para no llevarla caminando. Sugerencia, compra una correa externa Design Peak, lo agradecerás, compra las dos memorias CFEXPRESS YO aquíri de la marca San Disk y todo perfecto, para el uso que le doy, son ING. Agronomo es una cámara perfecta y muy buena herramienta, pues contiene GPS interno, así que en donde obtenga alguna foto puedo ver la ubicación guardada complementando todo esto con mi Garmin Montana 750i GPS, para el polvo y sol es una cámara simplemente resistente, repito es pesada y grande aproximadamente 1.6 Kg pero en mi caso esto me encanta, el peso y lo rudo es algo que agradezco, se siente el peso, el precio y la califidad de tener una cámara para uso salvaje en un entorno agresivo en el ambiente, estoy en Chihuahua, México, el calor, arena, polvo, fuertes vientos, altas temperaturas y fríos extremos dan las condiciones para que está cámara salga a relucir el logotipo de Nikon. Simplemente una cámara increíble!. Enkil Pardo ϞϞ

This is an amazing camera. There’s really nothing it can’t do. Autofocus is superb, as is subject detection. There are so many customizations you can do with this camera. I urge you to read the manual or you will miss out on some incredible features. After trying multiple focusing methods available, I have discovered that AFC, 3-d tracking, with automatic subject detection is the absolute best. It rarely misses. It’s incredibly fast and is built like a tank. I love the Nikon ergonomics much better than any camera I have ever used. It’s got the most frequently used features on buttons so once you have done initial setup, you rarely need to go back to the menus. The i menu is such a timesaver. I love this camera and highly recommend it. It’s got a little bit of a learning curve but it is worth it.

It will take you a while to sort through all the features but I am very impressed with the new "pin point" focus feature that allows you to get through the leaves and branches to the bird. In combination with the "animal" option that locks on to the birds head and eyes the photos are much more pleasing. I am very happy with my Z9.

Simplemente perfecta. Solo acostúmbrate a usar fotos (en raw), de 45 megapixeles. De ahí en fuera, todo es perfecto.

General Overview: This review is coming from the perspective of a long time Nikon user who has also used Canon in the past. Like a lot of other people, I was intrigued by the potential of better auto focus with the Z9. This obviously applies more so to people that like to capture photos of moving objects (vehicles, animals, people, etc.). In my time with the camera thus far, I have photographed people running, jumping, walking, and dancing. A lot of my work also includes portrait photography, and some of that involves freezing a movement versus a person always standing stationary. While I am able to capture a lot of what I want with the Z6II, the Z9 allows me to capture a higher number of keepers under the scenarios mentioned above with similar camera settings. One of the other reasons I was interested in the Z9 was for video purposes. The 8K functionality is cool, but it is something that will be used more in the future and not right now due to the storage needed to work with hours of footage. My bigger interest was internal 10bit H.265 (SDR/N-Log), Prores, Prores Raw, and 12bit N-Raw. As I eluded to earlier, 4K is plenty good enough for right now. Each format has advantages and disadvantages I will get into a little more below. As a whole, it has been a great camera. The colors look accurate under most scenarios with proper white balance. Photos are processed primarily in Capture One, but I still use Lightroom sometimes. Keep in mind that as of this writing, Nikon's high efficiency raw files are not supported in Capture One yet, but I'm guessing it will eventually be supported. You'll need to use the larger format or do all of your editing in Lightroom instead. For video editing, you need Davinci Resolve Studio to edit N-RAW, Final Cut Pro to get the most out of ProRes RAW, but it can still be opened in Premiere if you are only an Adobe user. As a small note, N-RAW is way smaller than Prores RAW for 12bit internal video. The camera as a whole is much heavier than the Z6II, but if you are coming from a pro level DSLR with an integrated battery grip, it won't be a big deal for you. There is a lot of customization options, say take your time to learn what you need for either the photo or video work that you will be doing. I have been shooting a lot of photos and videos with San Disk and Lexar CF Express cards with no issues. I've used the camera with triggers from Godox and Wescott with no issues. My Atomos Ninja V connects with a full size HDMI, but it won't record ProRes RAW if you want to avoid the high cost of expensive 512GB high performance CF Express type B cards. It does work well as a monitor, viewing false color, and recording ProRes if you want to use it for that purpose. Video: The waveform option for video has been a useful addition. I've been able to take pictures for 30 minutes, shoot 1.5 hours of continuous 4K 24p footage without it overheating, no error messages, and more before only bar disappeared from that battery. I burned through one Z6II battery doing similar tasks for a similar time frame. In general you can shoot over two hours of continuous footage in one take, assuming you have a big enough card. A 256GB card will get you at least two hours of H.265 10bit internal SDR/N-Log at 4K 24p. I believe N-RAW at a similar resolution, but 12bit, will be over an hour, but 60p will be less. I'll provide more feedback on photos and video after another month or two of usage.
