So Nikon didn't know how to communicate it directly, then someone from Nikon, probably headquarters, called JP asking him politely to make a video with huge banner to tell people how they did it.
Doesn't it sound weird...it does to me.
I'm not saying it's not simulation, but how he learned about it, I wouldn't take it too seriously.
These YT's are struggling for new topics, they are willing to do anything to get some traffic.
The reason why I'm not helping them at all any more, I like watching videos from real photographers, who buy equipment for own money, and they talk about it once they learn how to use it.
P.S. Those YT's, like him, are like scavengers, they following rumors sites, then they run into their video studies to compile what they just learned from those sites rushing release, to generate some traffic.
It's so spread, and so obvious by now.
You won't learn anything from them, but you'll see all you learned from rumor sites in their videos, with some flavor to it, too good, or too bad, it depends what brand they "belong" to....Show more →

Photographers are free to buy whatever product they wish. My issue is misinformation with those posing as industry experts, and then go to great effort to exhibit varying levels of failure. Nevertheless, it is has come to pass that some of the species of influencer have become lauded as credible sources.
NR is different, because its name speaks loudly, which doesn't further explanation.
Posting questionable sources to justify a whim has a record of eliciting condemnation in this forum. Attempts to cite this channel here previously generate noise and another brand war.
It seems like the maturation of Nikon's Z system unsettles many, including sufferers of Relevance Depravation Syndrome, which can only explain their desperate attempts to get attention via youtube

Time and again, it has to be pointed out there are very few reliable sources on the internet wrt photographic products. The reason why Steve Perry has credibility resides in his images and educational products.
And similarly, Thom Hogan compares cameras across systems to expend the scope etc of his reviews for an educational clientele. Above all, the reviews by these two gentlemen take not just weeks but months to complete.
Thom Hogan has the similar credentials to Steve Perry, which are testified in his very detailed 3rd party camera manuals (ebooks).

As with so many things during the last few years as Nikon struggled to catch up in mirrorless camera technology the vitriol, and defensive reactions to valid criticism proved to be unfounded. Just plain wrong again. Here, with the attacks on Jared Polin epitomizes what has been going on.
Not only was he speaking with absolute knowledge and accuracy, he is one of a few that had the Z9 in advance, for an extended time, and with dedicated Nikon support engineers to answer his questions, and take is input under consideration. It turns out that Everything he said was spot on, and true.
Beyond that, Nikon trusted him to give honest feedback and review. This despite the Nikon fan base calling him every vile name in the book including being a dedicated Nikon hater on some sort of vendetta. Maybe time to consider that he is just saying what he believes. Much like the many here here on FM who have been treated similarly.
Jared Polin's initial review on the Z9 is very positive. He is perfectly willing to say positive things when he finds them. He appears to have done a good and detailed job of testing in real life situations. Personally I find that much more informative than the canned presentations we got with the launch. I did enjoy those also, amazing work for sure. But reviews like JP's are more useful in evaluating what the camera really brings.
Keeping all this in mind, it is my hope we can discuss the Z9 in an open and friendly way, without all the vitriol.
The Nikon community will like this JP video I think.
Enjoy it!!!!!

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed Nikon delivers...competition is a good thing. The 24-120 F/4 is going to be interesting as well...the new FTZ adapter looks much better. 
when he yells out to Z6/7II shooters to stop hoping for some magical AF FW.
