For me the important things about the EVF resolution are use case dependent.
When I am shooting super fast action like BIF I am not so concerned with resolution. I am most concerned with things like refresh rate, blackout, and smoothness. These are what helps me keep the subject in the frame.
When doing slower moving sports I prefer a compromise of the above.
Doing portraits and landscapes I want as much resolution as I can get.
When reviewing my shots in the EVF I want all the resolution, and exposure accuracy that I can buy. This is really a big deal when judging critical sharpness and exposure in the field. The back screen is never good enough for that in my experience. It is a job for an EVF, and one of mirrorless cameras biggest advantages.
For me the Sony a1 provides the best set of compromises at various speed for this of any camera I have tried. Its compromises match my use cases very well. The 9 million dot EVF is incredible for reviewing images.
I will wait until I see the Z9 EVF in action in various use cases and light conditions before passing any judgements or doing any comparisons. Nikon has always done their own op[tics for their EVS. They have been very good, and seem to perform better than the resolutions numbers indicate. They are also claiming a unique brightness capability that may be very useful. We should wait and see it first. Numbers are only part of the criteria for a great EVF.
