NIKON Z 9
About the Nikon Z 9
From WikipediaThe Nikon Z9 is a full-frame mirrorless camera produced by Nikon. The camera was announced on October 28, 2021.
The Z9 has the same 45.7 MP resolution as the Z7 and Z7II cameras, but uses a much faster stacked CMOS sensor which improves autofocus and continuous shooting performance. The continuous shooting capabilities of the Z9 significantly exceed those of Nikon's previous Nikon D6 while providing more than double the resolution. The Z9 is the first Nikon Z camera to support 8K video, which can be recorded internally at 60 fps in 12-bit N-RAW.
The Z9 is the first flagship full-frame camera without a mechanical shutter.
The Z9 won Camera Grand Prix 2022 Camera of the Year and Readers Award.
In January of 2024, Nikon revealed that NASA launched 13 unmodified Nikon Z9 cameras to the International Space Station (ISS) via the 20th Northrop Grumman commercial resupply services mission. On February 29, 2024, NASA revealed a signed agreement between them and Nikon to develop the Handheld Universal Lunar Camera (HULC) as the first handheld camera to be used on the Moon, for use beginning with the Artemis III mission. The resulting design consists of a modified Z9 camera with thermal shielding, custom grip with modified buttons, modified electrical components to minimize issues caused by radiation.
The new Nikon Z9 will replace the aging high-end Nikon D5 and D6 DSLRs on board the ISS. Nikon Corporation and NASA shared a long history together being the camera brand that continuously supplies the agency with modified cameras since the 1970s.
