Nikon’s announcement earlier today about a new pro body with surpassing their DSLR flagship confirms what all Nikon users were hoping for.
With a stacked sensor and 8K support, it seems very likely Nikon is using a variant of the sensor in Sony’s flagship - the A1.
If history serves as a guide, there will be several teasers to follow over the next 5-6 months before the Nikon Z9 is out. The important questions around pricing, autofocus performance, accompanying lens announcements etc will likely only be answered upon the camera’s release.
For my part, I’m hoping the Z9 sits somewhere between Canon’s R5 and Sony’s A1 in price - closer to the former really. But $6500 or more seems to be a lock.
