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.

Two D5 DSLRs, and one experimental Z9 that is being certified for use on the moon. Z9s are already certified for use in space, they're on the ISS as we speak, but apparently not for the lunar surface. My guess is that the z9 will pass it's tests and by the time the actual landings happen the D5s wil

apparently they've got a z9 as well that they are testing. i'm guessing given the nature of this shoot (controlled situation, once in a lifetime type of opportunity) they absolutely need to make sure they have something they know will work. they're also not in a competitive scenario so there is no c

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

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

Artemis II cameras are vastly superior to Apollo in every way except resolution. They use 4K/8K digital, 30+ internal/external cameras, and handheld Nikon D5/Z9 digital SLRs for sharp, instant and consistent imagery. Apollo relied on analog Hasselblad film cameras, producing incredible detail but re

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

Shutterless is the most obvious, Nikon already dropped it from the Z9 I think. After that I really, really want to see more computational advancements. Once you get readout speeds sufficiently high you can do instant HDR, capture a number of shots in one go and merge them to get crazy stupid DR and

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 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
