So, I've had a chance to test the Z9 over a weekend and I have to say that it's in a different league compared to any Nikon mirrorless body I've used
Since I've never used the pro DSLR bodies, the weight and size kinda threw me off a bit, but that would be the only downfall of the camera for me.
I took about 5000 photos with it over the weekend, trying to test my most used scenarios with it and when shooting my dog, the in-focus rate was damn near 100%. Honestly, it was cheating. I tried a couple of the 120 FPS bursts and from 340 images, 340 were in focus...and that was with Ajka running at full speed towards me and jumping over a trench. I need to check what software is best used to piece those photos together into a move...
Anyhow, I'm convinced the technology in the Z9 is the next buy for me, just not sure if in the Z9 or I'll be waiting for a smaller body. My guess is the latter. If I can hold off
Anyway, a couple of photos from the weekend below:
