3 Nikon Cameras

For those interested in the Nikon brand...... One of our clients popped in today and brought with them the new Flagship mirrorless camera. The Z9 is regarded as the best in the market at the moment.

The thing that struck me was the weight. It weighs 1340g  compared to the Z7ii (1000g with the battery grip attached.) and the D850 (1100g) The size is comparable to the Z7ii with the battery grip as you can see.

All 3 Nikons are superb bits of kit and it crossed my mind as to whether I should buy the Z9. The hype and rave reviews certainly make it attractive but the £5.5k price tag demands some consideration and reflection. 

As I  reflect upon what I am doing with photography at the moment, I cannot see that the Z9 would bring anything significantly different to the kit I already have. It is also a large and heavy unit to just pop in a bag and go for a walk. My shoulders are certainly not as strong as they used to be!

So, if you are considering an upgrade make sure you handle the camera before purchase - it can make a huge difference to the buying decision. It certain did for me.
