One nice feature of using the back screen is the ability to touch the screen to place the focus point. Optionally, this touch can also release the "shutter". Handy on a tripod.

I wanted to test FW3.01 in advance of an agility event this coming weekend, so I sat in at a canine frisbee league on Saturday. From what I can tell, the new FW works very well. I had only one brief series that locked in on a spectator rather than the dog, which was a tiny fraction of what I shot.
I used WA Large and WA Custom (set to to max size) most of the time and had Subject Detection enabled the whole time.
One thing I noticed was that I didn't have much (hardly any) trouble with low-contrast dogs. Anyone that's shot dogs will understand the some are harder to get focus lock than others, but I didn't have any issues with any of the dogs, regardless of color / contrast. Perhaps is was just the grass was all dead making the "any" dog (or object) appear as contrast to the grass.

Got a 2nd-hand 600 F4 FL Lens at the cost of US$7000 (mint condition) and quite impressed.
A bit heavy and hard to hand-hold but it's not a problem consiering the image quality and price

What is the best card reader for the Z9 camera?

As it is now, I think I will be using Delkin Blacks, but your other suggestions are welcome.

I chose SONY, it reads both XQD and CFE.

And I have a few Sony XQD card readers for my D850. I'll give them 5 stars. Thank you.

i concur. i have been using the the Sony dual reader since CFeB came out. i do have 2. one for remote one for in house use.
most likely be the middle of February XQD will be no longer in my mix. a friend has a D4 and my last 4 64GB cards will go to him. ah, the end of a long fruitful relationship.

i do have a Delkin CFeB reader too.

This is good too.

Because I know how meticulous you are about these things.

I do this loads. It's so useful and it works very well, though it is harder to find the target, especially with a 600mm F4 and TC14.

I have searched and have yet to find a single video that shows someone looking down and shooting through the flipped out rear screen.

Has anyone shot through the Z9 flip out screen while sitting down (and looking down) or across the top of water........anyone?

Does anyone know where there is a video that shows a photographer using the screen in this way..... and discusses this?

thanks

Robert

if you are looking to get a Z9 one must be a bit more concerned about the cards to use if you are looking for optimum speed performance and consistent throughput.

For me, this is *one* of the Z9's most exciting features. Enough people here who's opinions I value, have assured me that the Z9's articulating screen is fully functional.

You are right. I do a lot of searching too using my right angle finder on a D850. Been practicing with slowly raising the camera on the same vertical line with the subject.

Then there's glare. In non-winter months I wear a wide-brimmed hat and hoping it will help eliminate the sky-glare.

C/2022 E3 is starting to be visible (still not to the naked eye).

Was a good excuse to play with Starlight View on the Z9 to see if I could find it on the LCD, and did, with ease. Such a neat feature, but not a great photo
