The 2021 is nearing an end, and the NPS members are counting the days till their Z9 arrives! The best of the best for Nikon users. I personally am going to hold off as I already have the Z7, Z6ii, Z50, and a Fc.
That said I must say a few features of the Z9 are inviting. First is the elimination of the shutter, gone is the 100+ years of a mechanical shutter, and the addition of that very clever dust shield ... finally. Oh that reminds me I have to scrub my Z7 from my last trip. Next is the getting the AF up to snuff, I get by, and don't miss many shots due to focus, but hey, I will take the best of the breed. I would prefer having someday a Z7iii with the updates of the new sensor, the dust shield, and incredible burst speeds. I like the form factor of the Z 7 over the Z9, but maybe next year.
Finally, I want to again compliment Nikon on the incredible 24-200, seriously folks this is one heck of a lens for travel, or when I want to just have one lens on the camera. I took the 14-30 and this and was in total business. Made traveling sooo much nicer. and trust me
the lens is sharp.
oops, uploaded twice, but you get the point, the lens delivers sharp images. I have all the S lens too, and yes they are super, but would they really had made a difference for this shot, simple answer, no. The 24-200 finally delivers on that low cost consumer super zoom that you can take on those once in a lifetime trips, and know you can nail the shot.
