Z 9

While the Nikon user in me says “Z9 ftw” the space exploration aspect for humanity makes me happy that they got cameras with them regardless of the brand.

No one over the age of 16 should be taking social media or 'techtuber' influencers seriously. They're just long form advertisers. Buy whatever suits your needs. I wasn't a fan of Nikon's first gen mirrorless cameras and didn't buy them. But once the Z9/Z8 came out, I was more than happy to switch ov

According to NASA's site they've got a Nikon D5, Nikkor 14-24mm 2.8 ED and the 80-400 f/4.5-5.6 ED VR 10+ year old camera kit there, though certainly nothing bad, they'll get great photos (as already seen!) Kinda wish they'd snuck a Z9 onboard with some modern Z lenses to get even better photos. Tha

I just personally love how these astronauts are using two of the most capable cameras produced by Nikon and comparing and contrasting the image quality, and it's not a 15 sec sound byte of some dude who just says "DSLR's are dead! Look, this has a-bajillion Megapixels, and this thing only has 20! Th

D5, something to do with it being more thoroughly tested by NASA - I get not choosing the Z9, there have been lots of updates, and rolling shutter might be an issue in space somehow. Really I think that this would be a place where the a1ii absolutely shines, it's so small compared to the other flags

No Z8 II soon, it will be at least a year after a Z9II, and the only pro Z cameras (settings banks like you're used to) are the Z8 and Z9. The highest-end DX Z body is the Z50II, which is a D5x00 replacement camera and not nearly up to the pro standards. Why not just send it to Nikon and use their f

All speculation. I doubt we will get a z7iii. Nikon expected the z7 and z6 to sell equally well, but the z6 line consistently performed better than the 7 through the first two generations. Given the price difference that will have been disappointing. With the z8/9, they took the more 'traditional' (

Well, I have a couple of D850s still, but I moved to Z9's when they first came out for a few reasons, and it's an absolutely incredible camera. I do a lot of stuff where I really need the speed, and video things where the new features come in handy. And even though most of the current primes were no

This was likely shot with one of the Nikon Z9s they have onboard. In which case, I'd say this is likely largely unaltered, to the extent possible. EDIT: Someone has provided a link and EXIF data, it was shot with a D5, with both a long exposure and high ISO. It's probably had a fair bit of noise red

The D5 is actually still Nikon's best low-light camera - it's even better than the D6 at high ISO, and is about 2/3 of a stop better than a Z9 above ISO 2000. However, it's noticeably worse under ISO 200, even compared to a D750 or D850. EDIT: actually D6 has the same sensor. PhotonsToPhotos shows t
