Nikon Z9 now official

Nikon has officially unveiled their newest addition to their full-frame camera lineup, the Nikon Z9 .

The Nikon Z9 boasts a 45.7MP CMOS sensor, 8K video recording, and the four-axis 3.2-inch touch screen. However, Nikon claims that the Z9’s biggest selling point is its complete elimination of a mechanical shutter due to what they tout as the “world’s fastest image scan rate.”

Ipinapahayag ng Nikon na ang mas mabilis na bilis ng pag-scan ng sensor ay posible dahil sa kanilang bagong EXPEED 7 na engine sa pagpoproseso ng imahe. Kumpara sa naunang modelo, ang Z7 II, ang mga bilis ng sensor ng Z9 ay halos 10 beses na mas mabilis. Nagdudulot ito ng mas kaunting rolling shutter distortion, kahit na kumukuha ng larawan sa 1/32,000 ng segundo. Bukod pa rito, ang bagong processing engine na ito ay nagbibigay din ng mas malawak na dynamic range na may ISO mula 64 hanggang 24,600 (pwedeng palawakin mula 32 hanggang 102,400).

The Nikon Z9 combines an intelligent AF and a Vibration Reduction image stabilization system. Nikon claims that their new AF system offers the fastest AF tracking performance in the Japanese camera company’s history.  In addition, it utilizes a Subject Detection algorithm that can identify and track nine subject types including humans, pets, birds, airplanes, trains, cars, motorbikes, and bicycles. On the other hand, the Vibration Reduction image stabilization system allows for up to six stops of shake compensation and VR safety lock to protect the sensor from damage caused by “unintentional movement” when the camera is powered off and in transit in rough conditions.

For video recording, the Nikon Z9 supports up to 8K resolution at a max of 30fps and 4K resolution capped at 120fps. Furthermore, it also boasts up to two hours of battery life (with continuous single use) at 8K.

Sa hardware, ang Nikon Z9 ay may apat na axis na 3.2-pulgadang touch-compatible na monitor at Quad-VGA panel viewfinder na kayang umabot sa hanggang 3000cd/m2 (nits) na pinakamataas na liwanag. Para sa disenyo, ipinagmamalaki nito ang matibay na disenyo na 20% mas magaan kaysa sa nakaraang modelong D6 at gawa mula sa magnesium alloy na chassis.

The Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Camera is priced at USD 5,499.95, and it is now available for pre-order at the official Nikon website.
