    Looks good to me! I wonder if Lumix will come out with a new FF cam.

    Presently leaked specs

    • The Nikon Z9 shutter will close when the camera is off to protect the sensor
    • 45 MP stacked sensor
    • 20 fps or 30fps serial shooting
    • 120 fps in DX mode with reduced resolution (11MP)
    • New AF tracking (humans, animals, birds eye AF + cars, motorcycles, and planes AF tracking)
    • No rolling shutter (better than Sony A1 and Canon R3)
    • Black-out free viewfinder in all situations (around 5MP)
    • No pixelshift feature (it could be implemented later with a firmware update)
    • There will be an 8K 60p video option with 1 hr time limit
    • Improvements in the color balance
    • The Z9 price is expected to be less than the Nikon D6 camera - around $4999
    • Weight: 300g heavier than the Canon R3 or around 1020g

    There's enough material with all the teasers to make one half of a decent preview.

    Shorter: 8K no time limit 30p. Maybe hippo eye recognition.

    Here we have a camera that is still vaporware, and we already have YouTube videos by fans saying that they don't "need" a flippy screen because they look into the lens or whatever it's good to fail I guess OMG.

    @MarcioK

    My approach to screens is simple. Camera must always sell without any screen. But it must have special standard port that also has metal strong mounting parts. So you can replace screen to any third party one.

    Was amazed that some "specialized" sites called this hinge "very innovative", since Fujifilm have it since the X-T2.

  • DrDaveDrDave

    Now if you could just undock the screen seamlessly from the camera, that would be a step up. Also, it's tiny.

    Really hoping the Z8 is hot on the heals of this machine.

    10bit internal or better is 99% probability for this camera, as is some form of "RAW" external or otherwise. Expect 10 bit internal. 12 bit RAWish (14 bit is even possible).

    Nikon played a smart game with the initial z releases catering to the run and gun professionals. This camera will be made to stand ground firmly next to the rest of the flagship field. They are not stupid.

    There's certainly room for some well designed competition that does not overheat.

    Yes, time limit (likely) and 10-bit are conspicuous by their absence. As such, it's logical to assume 8-bit and 30-minutes, which fall within Nikon's SOP.

    Nikon will be announcing their flagship mirrorless camera body in November or December of this year.
