Joe, I can’t tell you how much I love your updates. I have to know… did you clean that thing off with a hose?
I happily bequeathed it back to Nikon and it was dispatched to the magic of the repair technicians. :-))))
Joe, I noticed that in the video, you still had a mud-splattered Z9 at the rugby pitch (and you’d changed to the 100-400 with all that blech near the mount!) – but Jen’s appeared to be pristine. Did you just want to preserve the full experience, or did Jen just take the last clean Z9? 🙂
… and this is why I hesitate to purchase Nikon refurbs … 🙂
Thanks for all the insights on the Z9. And the the inspirational photos!
Now that camera (muddy) looks like a Nikon. At least mine at times .
I so want the Z9 and the more I read about it and watch video reviews the more it calls my name . The price is the catch….. the thing that catches your eye as a built like a d3 tank and a grand less .
I wondered if that was a demo/loaner… I’ve spent time with a toothbrush and dental picks trying to deal with the same sort of schmutz. There’s always something that I miss
Hey Joe, hope you are well.
The first image of you and the mostly brown Z9 cracked me up – an absolute classic! (reminded me of a day I had that didn’t go to plan dealing with small children) This new offering from Nikon looks to be an absolute beast of a camera in so many ways, and as a long time Nikon shooter it puts an extra big smile on my face. I have enjoyed catching up on all the news & views that have saturated the internet recently but I have especially enjoyed your take on it, and the images you have produced.
Take care, Simon
Same back, Simon…so good of you to tune into the blog…..would love to see you again one of these days….
My lens, Nikon’s camera. the Nikon repair folks did magic on it.
We had about 3-4 Z 9’s all belonging to Nikon, so I think Jen might have had one of the cleaner ones. 🙂
It is a solid camera. Flagship build.
