The Nikon Z-series has a very impressive firmware update coming, especially for the Z9. Version 2.0 turns the Z9 into a behemoth of cinematography and sports photography, and if you’re interested in using it for either (or more) you’ll want to check it out. this.
I don’t care much for Nikon. It’s not tribalism about the camera brand, I’ve tried their body and they’re fine, but I don’t see why I would choose one over Canon, and I didn’t, though I ended up joining Sony. But, much has changed, and now Nikon has some incredible cameras, with their flagship Z9 impress many people.
Now, Nikon is about to release version 2.0 of their firmware for the Z9 and it brings a ton of new features, which equates to a new camera, depending on what you use it for. The first area where many people get excited is the ability to shoot video with the addition of 8.3k 60p raw content, several other video functions, and 12-bit N-RAW and ProPres RAW formats.
Then for photography, there’s pre-release capture (and post-release capture) to make sure your reaction speed doesn’t cost you a shot.
Honestly, firmware 2.0 has made the Z9 clearly one of the best professional-grade hybrid bodies on the market.
