Nikon Z9 Body (With Battery Charger)

The Nikon Z9 is a professional-grade camera characterized by its newly developed sensor, advanced AF performance, and high-resolution 8K video recording. Their first mirrorless flagship camera, the Z9 stands out as a camera that appeals to photographers and filmmakers working across a wide variety of applications. Its stacked design offers fast readout speeds and helps to reduce rolling shutter, and the BSI design contributes to impressive clarity and minimal noise when working at higher sensitivities. At 45.7MP, it's also a high-resolution chip that benefits landscape, portraiture, and other detail-oriented genres, as well as enables recording video at resolutions up to 8K. This engine works in conjunction with the stacked sensor design to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling. Able to buffer over 1000 raw images in a burst, meaning raw image sequences can be recorded for approximately 50 seconds continuously.  The New High-Efficiency RAW file format maintains image quality akin to uncompressed raw files but with file sizes approximately 30% smaller for faster reading/writing to the memory card. Relying on the speed and stacked design of the sensor, the Z9 completely forgoes a mechanical shutter and uses just an electronic shutter for all capture modes. Also, despite the absence of a mechanical shutter, flash sync up to 1/200 sec. is still supported as well as high-speed sync functions.

A shutter release sound can be added for awareness when a photo is being taken, and the volume can be adjusted to suit different working scenarios. This system benefits from the high-speed communication of the Z interface along with the speed of the sensor that enables AF readings to occur at up to 120 fps. This focusing system also supports working in low-light conditions with a Starlight mode that permits focusing down to -8.5 EV to greatly benefit astrophotography, concerts, and other nighttime shooting applications. Full frame 4K recording is available, too, up to 120p for slow-motion playback. Using an 8K area, oversampled UHD 4K recordings are possible at up to 60p for increased sharpness and detail. Also, high-resolution frame grabs can be recorded in the camera from 8K and 4K videos, for producing 33MP or 11MP stills, respectively. For more latitude when color grading in post, there is also a 10-bit N-Log setting as well as a Flat color profile. Additionally, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) can be used for creating HDR-ready content straight from the camera. This EVF also works in conjunction with dual-stream technology for blackout-free viewing when shooting continuously. This screen's four-way tilting design allows for easier viewing from a variety of positions and the user interface orientation will also shift depending on how the camera is held. Voice memo function for recording short spoken notes while shooting.

The Nikon MH-33 Battery Charger supports a single EN-EL18d, EN-EL18c, or EN-EL18b battery. It features a USB Type-C interface and requires a USB Type-C cable and standard USB wall plug charger, both sold separately. The charging status is confirmed via LED indicator lights.
