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.
Before we dive in, let’s look at some benchmarks starting with the base stats. This camera has a 45mp sensor and can record 8k 60fps/4k 120fps video. Where that gets even more exciting is with the burst rate. It can shoot 20fps RAW, 30fps using full-resolution JPEGs, and 120fps using 11mp JPEGs. That means you can effectively record a video using high-res photos and 1/4 speed slow-motion video of low-res photos. It can also record continuously for up to 1,000 compressed RAW photos.
While the Sony A1 technically has the Z9 beat with the RAW burst at 30fp, the 120-frame burst makes up for it. Of course, the 11mp JPEGs are quite limiting – you won’t have much flexibility in editing or cropping. Read More...
