Nikon India introduced their flagship Mirrorless camera – the Z9 – in India on 28th October 2021. The Z9 boasts of 9 types of simultaneous subject detection in stills as well as in videos, a real-life no-blackout viewfinder, and 8K UHD internal video recording that lasts for approximately 125 minutes. The Z9 comes with a built-in vertical grip and a newly designed 4-axis LCD screen that can tilt horizontally as well as vertically. Let’s see how this most recent top-of-the-line camera fares in our review…

Design & Build Quality

As expected from the top-of-the-line model, the Z9 body is very well made. It comes along with a well-designed battery grip as a standard fitting. The chassis is made of magnesium alloy for strength and durability. The camera is designed for professional use and hence can withstand low temperature of up to -10° C. The weather-sealed body is dust/ water repellant. The body weighs 1340 g including the battery and built-in battery grip. The body is made in Thailand.
