The Nikon Z 9 is a full-frame mirrorless camera produced by Nikon. The camera was announced on October 28, 2021.
The Z 9 has the same 45.7 MP resolution as the Z 7 and Z 7II cameras, but uses a much faster stacked CMOS sensor which improves autofocus and continuous shooting performance. The continuous shooting capabilities of the Z 9 significantly exceed those of Nikon's previous Nikon D6 while providing more than double the resolution. The Z 9 is the first Nikon Z camera to support 8K video, which can be recorded internally at 60 fps in 12-bit N-RAW.
The Z 9 is the first flagship full-frame camera without a mechanical shutter.
The Z 9 won Camera Grand Prix 2022 Camera of the Year and Readers Award.
