I agree -- that's the most reasonable assumption. Perhaps one day they will be available second hand and more within a stretched budget It's at least twice as much as I've ever paid for a lens at launch.The 100-400mm is a similar weight and price to the Sony 100-400mm GM so I think they've probably priced it against that. The Sony GM is an exceptional lens though so if NIkon can match or better that it will be a belter
The initial videos I’ve watch tonight it looks really goodThe 100-400mm is a similar weight and price to the Sony 100-400mm GM so I think they've probably priced it against that. The Sony GM is an exceptional lens though so if NIkon can match or better that it will be a belter
Trevor, I’m reading that applying to the 100-400.
Do not need it really as in body stabilisation even on z7’s etc ? I know it is nice on the new 100-400 will Sync with body to have extra VR stops but not sure its needed on 24-120 as the in body VR will do a good enough job
If you shoot stopped down and the 24-120 has good centre to edge sharpness through out its focal range I'd say yes, go for it and the 100-400. That's two lenses with no much FL overlap which will give you an extraordinary difference in field of view.
If you are a landscape shooter then the Z7 / Z7II is the way to go for mirrorless and a lot less than Z9 (I have Z7 II but also D500 for fast moving wildlife but the Z9 would easily replace both but at a cost)
Totally agree, I have the Z6 and it’s fine for the woodland/landscape stuff I do. I’m thinking if Z7 prices start to soften I may grab one simply for the increased resolution. Z6 as it is, is a bargain used. Z7 may prove a great used buy.
yes, this is perhaps the single most important feature that I hope will trickle down to the enthusiast level models as well.
that's indeed a reasonable conclusion but the weight increase is a consideration (compared to 24-70 +70-300 which obviously isn't a fair comparison but even so) to say nothing of the cost rule it out for the shorter term at least. I'd love to see the rendering of the 100-400. I find the 70-300 AF-P, though generally sharp, a bit brash compared to an older generation like the 80-200 AF-S ones which have a wonderfully organic feel to them. Of the native Z lenses, I certainly like the 85mm f1.8 the best so far.
Thanks Jason, Soon after this shot the rain arrived :-(
Would be very strange if it’s didnt. Every camera I’ve ever used had a range of frame rates you could choose via the drive mode .the Sony A9 I use was marketed as a speed camera. In electronic shutter it can take photos at 20FPS in high but has low (5fps) and medium (10fps) speed options too. I mainly use medium as I don’t need 20FPS most of the time.
Prices of mirrorless lenses/cameras are crazy compared to older cameras/lenses. I think part of it is interchangeable lens cameras are bit of a niche market nowadays hence we’re paying a higher price per unit as sales volumes won’t be as high in the current market. Manufacturers will price to what the markets willing to pay.
The video here makes it look as if you can set any FPS you choose it's about 3:37 in, but the whole video is worth watching.
Official site shows this so I would also say yes it does
No idea, I've not been out with it yet
3:45 in shows you all the options you want
Interested to hear your thoughts when you get it.
and hopefully the same size and weight as a Z7.

Yes, it will. you have continuous high and continuous low. You can select how many fps each mode dived you.
Some autumn colours for a change
So excited about the Z9...will have to wait for something more sensibly priced, since it's out of my budget still. Would so love to have the 120 FPS option though to catch a jump with it.
I really want one, can't afford one and the weight would have me wrecked. But I'd certainly use it for practically all photographic genres. The waiting list is going to be crazy long imo.
