The Nikon Z 9 is a full-frame mirrorless camera produced by Nikon. The camera was announced on October 28, 2021.

The Z 9 has the same 45.7 MP resolution as the Z 7 and Z 7II cameras, but uses a much faster stacked CMOS sensor which improves autofocus and continuous shooting performance.[1][2] The continuous shooting capabilities of the Z 9 significantly exceed those of Nikon's previous Nikon D6 while providing more than double the resolution. The Z 9 is the first Nikon Z camera to support 8K video, which can be recorded internally at 30 fps in 10-bit 4:2:2.

The Z 9 is the first flagship full-frame camera without a mechanical shutter.[3]

Features[]

  • "Synchro VR" where both in-body and in-lens image stabilization can stabilize the same axes.
  • Burst lengths of over 1000 shots (previous Nikon cameras were limited to at most 200 shots per burst).
  • Internal 10-bit video recording in H.264, H.265 and ProRes 422 HQ (also supports HLG and Nikon N-Log).
  • Video recording length not limited to 30 minutes by firmware.
  • Dedicated "sensor shield" to protect the sensor from dust and dirt when the camera is off or the lens taken off.
  • 10-pin remote and flash sync connectors.
  • Built-in GPS, GLONASS and QZSS receiver for geotagging.
  • Allows switching between linear and non-linear focus throw in manual focus with some lenses.[4]
