The Nikon Z8 is a Paradigm Shifting Camera
The Nikon Z8 is exciting, not only because it’s a very capable camera, but also because it represents a major paradigm shift in the camera industry.
The Nikon Z8 is exciting, not only because it’s a very capable camera, but also because it represents a major paradigm shift in the camera industry.
Nikon has announced the Z8, a full-frame mirrorless camera that is basically identical to the Z9 but in a smaller form factor. Nikon is also positioning it as the "true successor" to the D850.
The ability to change the sound that the Nikon Z9's electronic shutter makes is actually coming, as demonstrated by the company during a live stream.
It is time to give kudos to a company that was not too long ago floundering at the bottom of the financial heap and appeared to be close to completely collapsing: Nikon.
Nikon has issued a "Technical Service Advisory" for the Nikon Z9 camera as some of the lens release buttons are not functioning correctly. Those affected can send their cameras to Nikon to have the issue fixed.
Nikon has announced a substantial firmware update for its flagship mirrorless Z9 camera that boosts its performance and adds nearly 20 new features to an already impressive professional full-frame system.
If you’ve ever tried to photograph lightning during the daytime, you know it’s almost impossible. By the time you press the shutter button, it’s gone. That’s why lightning triggers, while no guarantee of success, exist. But the addition of the new “Pre-release” feature in the Nikon Z9 mirrorless camera now makes those triggers obsolete. It guarantees success, as I found out last week.
The process of designing a flagship digital camera is a heavily guarded secret. But in a rare exception, some of the key individuals responsible for the development of the Nikon Z9 sat down and explained some of the defining aspects that brought the camera to life.
The Nikon Z9 is here and ready to take on the Sony A1 and Canon R3 for the title of ‘Mirrorless Flagship.’ We can argue all day about which camera is the best, but there’s no question that this one is the biggest. Mirrorless cameras have all been lighter and more compact than their DSLR counterparts, but with Z9 and the R3, Nikon and Canon have changed that.
Nikon has announced a small firmware update 2.10 for the Z9 flagship camera which adds a high-frequency flicker reduction feature as well as further improves autofocus performance.
Developing a new camera system doesn't happen quickly. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reveals that it had been working with Nikon for several years to develop the Z9, from its early abstract prototype stage through to today, where it is outfitting its staff with the flagship camera.
Nikon has released final information on its promised first-party CFexpress Type-B memory card. The new 660GB capacity card doesn't have a listed release date, but it can be pre-ordered for $727.
Nikon recently released its annual results which are a key metric in determining how well the manufacturer is doing both in terms of short-term finances as well as implementing its medium-term strategy. The quick takeaway is that it's making more money, but that camera market share is worryingly low. What does this mean for it going forward?
Nikon has published a new short film and behind-the-scenes video that is designed to showcase the camera's newly-updated video prowess. The film was shot in 8K at 60 frames per second in 12-bit RAW.
Market data from The NPD Group has found that the Nikon Z9 was the top-selling professional flagship full-frame mirrorless camera in the first quarter of 2022.
The Nikon Z9 is about to get a lot more powerful thanks to a free firmware update that adds in-camera 12-bit RAW video at up to 8K at 60 frames per second, oversampled 4K at 60 frames per second, a pre-release photo capture button, and so much more.
Currently, the longest-reaching telephoto zoom lens in the Nikon Z-mount system, the Nikkor 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 VR S faces a lot of eager potential customers who are going to balance its longer focal length with overall size and cost. I can’t say it will disappoint.
Who are you, when you’re holding your camera in your hands? You're likely less distracted, or less anxious. Maybe you're more aware, or more alive. But now that we are here, looking out over the smoking ruins of a year that has hardly begun, what should we do?
The Nikon Z9 uses a purely electronic shutter, meaning the camera shoots completely silently and that any shutter sound you hear is an artificial audio file. Nikon has developed a beta firmware and teased the possibility of custom shutter sounds, including a cat's meow.
Nikon touts its new Z9 mirrorless camera as being able to capture motion faster than the human eye can see. One photographer just discovered that the camera is so fast that its burst mode can be used to capture speeding bullets.
The Z9 takes a massive leap forward in technology and levels the playing field between Canon and Sony both in its construction and capabilities. While Nikon may have been late delivering a professional mirrorless system, the 120 frames per second (FPS) burst, 8K video, impressive battery life, and "always-on" EVF more than make the wait worth it.
I just did a ISO comparison with the Nikon Z9 compared to the Nikon Z6 II and Nikon D850. I’ve been using my old D850 a lot for astrophotography and have been very pleased with its ISO performance.
Nikon unveiled the Z9 back in October to a world desperate for updates about their new top shelf model after months of teasers. This was eagerly awaited, not least to see how it compared to Sony's blockbuster Alpha 1 and because it beat Canon to the proverbial flagship punch.
Nikon has published three videos that cover the various parts and features of the company's new flagship camera. Shared through its Digitutor YouTube Channel, the videos are some of the closest and most detailed looks yet at many features.
Nikon has been rightly praised for the top end specifications of the recently announced Z9. It has taken the mirrorless space race to the next level, regaining lost ground to sit at the genetic top of the proverbial camera tree. While $5,500 is clearly a lot of money, is the Z9 the cheapest pro-spec camera the company has released?
A high-efficiency RAW recording codec developed by intoPIX has been successfully integrated into the Nikon Z9. The company says that its TicoRAW technology allows for low processing and fast transfer speeds of up to 8K at 60 frames per second in RAW.
Nikon has published a short video that further explains the "Dual-stream" technology in its upcoming Z9 flagship camera, which it says will always assure an accurate reality-to-viewfinder experience.
Photographer Jennifer Pottheiser was given the opportunity to use Nikon's new Z9 camera. She shares her real-world experiences with it and discusses what to expect from the upcoming pro-level powerhouse.
When the Sony Alpha 1 was announced, I remember being really impressed but not surprised. Sony had been the brand to beat and had been continuously pushing the envelope. What Sony did was impressive, but not shocking. The Nikon Z9 has shocked me.
Nikon today has announced the Z9, a new full-frame camera featuring a 45.7-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor, a new EXPEED 7 image-processing engine, 8K video with extended recording limits, and the complete elimination of a mechanical shutter.
