The Nikon Z 9 has been a game changer for my wildlife photography. Being able to track the eyes of birds and mammals is a huge thing for me – simply because I am now capturing moments that I would otherwise have missed.

 

When I am on location, I film just as much as I am photographing, and the video specs of the Z 9 just makes it a production powerhouse.

 

There are small details that make a huge difference when you are out in the field, such as the ability to charge the battery with USB-C, and functions such as the Warm Display Colours and the Starlight View that protect your night vision when photographing wildlife on a late evening – just to name a few of my favourite features.

 

All of this would be useless however, if the camera was not able to withstand the rough environments I often work in, but the Nikon Z 9 is able to. The quality of the camera’s build and weather sealing is supreme. I have taken it through howling snowstorms, heavy rain and muddy conditions, and the Z 9 has never let me down – it just continues to deliver.
