OK, It has arrived. https://www.dpreview.com/news/9956913841/nikon-announces-z9-professional-mirrorless-camera https://www.nikon.co.uk/en_GB/products/category_pages/digital_cameras/mirrorless/overview.page 46MP. So basically an upgrade to the Z7 and D850 with more professional features and better video if you want it.

In addition to the camera there are two new lenses 24-120mm f4 and 100-400mm f4.5-5.6. https://www.dpreview.com/news/6063825367/nikon-announces-nikkor-z-24-120mm-f4-s-for-z-mount-mirrorless-cameras https://www.dpreview.com/news/6354738892/nikon-announces-nikkor-z-100-400mm-f4-5-5-6-vr-s-telephoto-zoom There is also a smaller FTZii adapter. https://www.dpreview.com/news/8691092252/nikon-announces-new-ftz-ii-a-smaller-version-of-its-f-mount-to-z-adapter

Can't say it excites me. No weight saving as such. I think if I had the money it would be a D6 for me.

It was bound to happen once Canon and Sony released their versions. I doubt there will be much difference in performance with the three big players in the final reckoning. I've no intention of switching again! The sophistication on board these models is astounding. Trouble isI personally don't use a fraction of it. They are getting a bit like Photoshop in this way. I think I am more likely to ditch the lot and use an iPhone

If they brought out a ZFc that was FF, rather than APS-C then I would be more interested. The ZFc is very much like a Fuji mirrorless camera.

Replacing two D4 bodies, 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 with the mirrorless equivalents would increase the weight by 75g. I would also need to buy a new computer to cope with the increased file sizes. Net benefit, for me zero. I can get two used D5 bodies for less than the cost of a single Z9. Somebody please remind me again of the benefits of mirrorless technology.

WYSIWYG. Latest technology. Wallet relief! Feeling poor!

Latest technology = a different way of achieving the same result but at a greater profit. I know I am a cynic but it seems to me that a modern mirrorless camera lets anyone take a picture and get it right first time without the years of experience that would have been required to achieve the same result on film. I suppose it is progress but I am happy with the D4 (OK I am fed up with the vertical joystick cover coming off) there is nothing that the Z6 does that I want and the Z9 is three times the price, essentially for a grip and a bigger battery.
