Nikon Z9 Disassembly and Teardown
Jun 27, 2022 14:54:50 #
Alex Mirchuk over at Kolari Vision, has completely disassembled Nikon's Z9 flagship, to reveal it's construction and inner workings to the world.
One point of note, the connection ports on the Z9 are soldered directly to the main circuit board itself, compared to the Sony A1 which apparently has ports that are connected to the board via detachable flex cables.

That’s both good and bad. Good because it’s one less interconnect to fail and depending on how a ribbon is attached (soldered or with a clamp-type connector), the connector can be a source of intermittent failures. But bad, because if the connector fails (as often happens with connectors such as micro USBs), you either live with the loss of that function or replace the main board (at considerable cost). On the other hand, if the ribbon is soldered to the main board, it may not be repair center replaceable, so you buy a new main board anyway.

Indeed, the report recognizes the dichotomy of which you speak.

He obviously has a lot more money, curiosity and time than I have.

Kolari specializes in infrared, ultra violet and other types of camera conversion, so this disassembly project is money-making product research for the company. For example, they sell Sony's A1 flagship converted to infrared for USD 7,220.

The connection ports are soldered....is that good or bad?
I think it's more reliable but more difficult to repair.
