Re: Z9 ! : Official thread for Z9 images and discussion


Here are a few from my backyard and a few thoughts from a "former" DSLR user.

1- I think the 1.7 TC will be usable which makes the 600's FOV 1000mm f6.7

2- At first I didn't like "review" placement but after using it for a few hours I think it will be better......think handholding the 500 5.6 etc which allows review with left hand on the lens.

3-Coming from a D500 with a personal ISO ceiling of 640.....For me with the Z9 I think 3200 now and sometimes 6400 for wildlife and 10000 very usable for sports.

4-So far my biggest issue that I don't like coming from my D500 is the sleep mode which is easily overcome by hitting BBF as I raise the camera to my eye. There may be a setting that can adjust that but right now all I want to do is shoot with this camera The blackout free shooting is over the top and I can't wait to shoot some waterfowl in flight

5- Also I never liked the idea of shooting an FX in DX mode unless it was an event where there would be no chance of a subject being closer. With the Z9 in DX I might use it in some cases where my subjects are way off and no chance of filling the frame unexpectedly because the viewfinder shows the image area without a portion being grayed out.

Kudos to Nikon!
