I watched the Tony Northrup comparison and a few other reviews of the Z9, and I have no desire to buy one. There's nothing wrong with the camera. It's just that I don't need such fantastic specs to do the kind I shooting that I like. Shooting 120 fps sound great, but after just three seconds, you have 360 pictures to go through. I suppose having 47MP might come in handy, but for the price, I'll skip the Z9 and keep using my D750. I've bought cars that cost less than the Z9.
If you saw the Northrup video, you noticed that the Nikon, the Canon, and the Sony each had strengths and weaknesses. I'm waiting for a camera with all strengths and no weaknesses. : )

I noticed someone else was switching from Sony. I'll look for that.
EDIT: Lots of switching going on. It makes a good headline and attracts viewers.

Jerry I agree it is more camera than I need right now. But as the D5 begat the D500 and in some ways the D810 begat the D750 and perhaps this will eventually begat a less expensive model. I have a D7200,D7500 and a D500. When they die I am sure mirrorless technology will have jumped leaps and bounds. Till then, like you, I am content with what I have

I guess as a Canon FanBoy you didn't mention the Nikon Z9 that she ordered.

My D850 is capable of shooting better photos than its operator can.
Suits me just fine! 🙂
I don't need a Z9 either but I would like its autofocus and Expeed 7 processor to make its way into a Z6 III or Z7 III.
I agree my D750 works just fine and will a $6000 camera make me take better pictures probably not.
Z8 with Z9's auto focus and 60 mp for 3k? That would be very nice.
Well, Nikon came out nearly a year later than Sony and Canon...
And has not equaled them...yet.
Canon and Sony are in a near tie tech wise...Nikon released last...not quite there.
Canon and Sony did not have pipeline problems either....they received a quick return on their investment.
Nikon is not as lucky there...
Now we will see if Nikon can keep up the pace set by the leaders...
They are still being lapped...

I liked my Z9 so much, I bought a second one! To each his own. Best of luck.

Obviously done as a KEH promo so KEH can get more Sony gear to sell! Then she will use Nikon to get some sponsorship until that gravy train runs out. Pure sensationalism as are all these You tube scammers! (I wanted to use a nastier term, but was afraid I would be called sexist since the Chick is a chick! But male or female, they are all the same)
