And in the same commentary, Thom's explanation of the EVF:
"Meanwhile the EVF has changed on the Z9, ............ Plus, the EVF has a new Starlight View mode (to -9.5EV with f/1.2 lens)."
I am sure this was discussed in the 40 + pages of this thread, so if it was beaten to death, I apologize. This particular function, 'starlight view' seems very useful. Apparently, when turned on EVF automatically boosts and show the view of near pitch black condition to help composition. Here is a link to the YouTube from Nikon's official introduction vide. I am sorry this is in Japanese. Scroll to timed 30:41 - 31:16 The photographer apparently is known for time-lapse night shooting.
Below is my rough interpretation :
"In previous Nikon cameras, I could not see anything in the darkness on EVF. I had to rely on my intuition. Only thing I could do was to shift view for each frame ilittle by little and hoped it worked. In Z9, when starlight view function is turned on, EVF boosts the brightness automatically and clearly shows the sky and land profile. This function made working in the darkness tremendously easier. "

Although Z9 is too much camera for myself in many ways, I was quit impressed with how Nikon is implementing technology to help solve problems down to details such as this, which made me quite excited.
