Announced
Oct 28, 2021
Description

The Nikon Z9 is Nikon's first flagship full-frame mirrorless camera for Z-mount. Featuring the new Expeed 7 image processor and a 45.7 megapixel stacked backside illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor. The Z9 can shoot 20 frames per second continuous in RAW and 30 fps continuous in full-res JPEG.

With a 493-point AF system which includes 405 auto-area AF points, five times more than the Z 7II. The Z9 follows subjects with 3D tracking which reacts instantly to subject position, orientation or velocity.

The EVF is blackout free and uses a fast scan rate to minimise rolling shutter. Eye AF for people and animals and also Vehicle Detection.

Newly designed 4-axis tilt touchscreen display. The monitor tilts 90 degrees from a horizontal or vertical shooting position.

Video you can shoot 8K at 30p and 4K up to 120p at launch with 8K/60p expected to be added via firmware at a later date.
