The new Nikon Z9 is a very impressive camera for sure, some even say it is a quantum leap for Nikon. We are not sure if we can call that, but one thing we know is that Nikon Z9 has many 'firsts' for Nikon cameras. Below you can find some of the firsts that comes to our mind:
- First Nikon camera with Stacked CMOS sensor
- First Nikon Z series camera with No Mechanical Shutter (Full electronic Shutter)
- First Nikon camera with illuminated buttons
- First Nikon Z series camera with integrated grip
- First Nikon camera with Multi-angle LCD that can be tilted out, and down, and fold it for vertical and angled shooting and video. You can't use it for selfie or vlogging though.
- First Nikon camera with 8K video
- First Nikon Z mirrorless camera with no 30 minutes video recording limit
- First Nikon Z mirrorless camera with Full-size HDMI port
- First Nikon Z mirrorless camera with dedicated AF Mode button (This was used back in Nikon DSLR models)
- First Nikon Z mirrorless camera that utilizes Nikon's 3D AF tracking system
- First Nikon camera with metal curtain that protects the sensor (remember no mechnical shutter)
