The Z 9 has arrived famously late to the pro mirrorless party. However, Nikon maintains that what some might see as tardiness enables this camera to really take advantage of the benefits that a mirrorless design is capable of.
And indeed, the wait has been worth it: the Z 9 features some truly ferocious specifications – some of which blow away those of both the Sony Alpha 1 and the Canon EOS R3. However, both of these rivals have a notable head start on the Z 9 – in the case of the A1, almost a full year.
