Nikon "Z 9" Review The second part of the SLR (Mynavi News) that hides the soul of the SLR inside (Mynavi News)

Full -size mirrorless "Z 9" that Nikon started selling in late December 2021

Nikon's full -size mirrorless "Z 9", which has become a hot topic with unprecedented intense shortage.Ochiai Ochiai, such as operability and viewfinder that is important in the flagship machine of the lens exchange camera, and the degree of rolling shutter distortion that is worrisome in Z 9, which is taken with an electronic shutter without a mechanical shutter.I had the photographer dig deeper.[Image] Even if you shoot a helicopter, the rotor is straight like this.The distortion peculiar to the electronic shutter cannot be understood only by the specifications that do not occur, so it does not have a skillful finished mechanical shutter of EVF. While this class mirrorless machine uses a challenge, it is a comfortable use.Nikon has a mysterious balance that certainly feels a taste similar to "good old flagship single -lens reflex camera".What are you doing?Because it's big and heavy?Well, well, I don't say that ...First of all, the precision as a machine thing with various movements and operation feeling is one of the best mirrorless machines.Z9 has a rare digital camera that is a mass of the device that reminds you that the camera should have been a machine.Is this the response that comes from the skeleton of the body and the weight balance?Anyway, the trunk is solid.The other is the goodness of the viewfinder.I didn't think it would be far beyond the area of "good as an EVF", and showed enough to say that it was a good viewer viewfinder.However, if you think carefully, there are signs.The first generation of Z, which was said to be "I was able to see it, but it was still a lot in comparison with other companies ...", the "Z 6" and "Z 7", the installed EVF, will be shown.Everyone was supposed to give a compliment to the quality of the color."This is a great EVF."It was a "one -sided charm" that loses power because of the appearance of the Panasonic "S1" series, but it is still the first line -up class in terms of its own.And for Z 9, which advocates the first flagship machine in the Z series, it is not hard to imagine that giving the EVF of Z 6 or Z 7 or higher was a basic and major premise.The optical viewfinder and the goodness of the “visibility” are the benefits of making (maybe) to make the bright places look bright.It is an impression that it will be outstanding even if the brightness (darkness) reproduction, which follows the large negative correction in dark places such as night, is outstanding.The strange thing is that although it is an EVF that seems to have a different dimension from the past, the specifications that were EVFs are the same as Z 6 and Z 7.The simplest indicator is about 3.69 million dots of dot as Z 6 and Z 7 (the size of the panel is also 0..Same as type 5).For reference, the EVF of the Sony "α7S III", which has an amazing "appearance", boasts a super -high specification of 9,347,184 dots.However, if you emphasize "real appearance", it is strange that Z 9 is more impressive for some reason.The α7S III's EVF is a drawing that is a thoroughly sharp but slimy feeling like watching high -definition image data on a 8K monitor, but in Z 9's viewfinder image.There is a realism that does not feel the “chemical seasoning -like seasoning”.Z 9 The biggest attraction and strength, here.This is exactly the fact that Nikon's pride and bottom power for "photographers" are oozing out.The first surprisingly thoughtful thought of using the high -sensitivity image seasoned Z 9 different from other companies' cameras was the initial setting (ISO25600) of the maximum sensitivity controlled by ISO auto.This is a sign that the upper limit of the regular sensitivity that Nikon himself casually recommends is ISO25600.Personally, I was a little surprised because I was convinced that I would be at the ISO51200 level without any doubt.Well, it's a high -pixel machine with an effective pixel number of 45mp, so there is no complaint where it is not a high sensitivity bancho ...If you actually look at the ISO25600 paintings, it is a smooth finish that this is the upper limit.Depending on your preference, the Canon "EOS R5" and Sony "α7R III" may decide that "ultra -high -sensitivity image quality is good?"In other words, there is no thing that has jumped to the ultra -high -sensitivity image quality of Z 9.It is unique that the processing of high -sensitivity noise is not dealt with in the first place, or that it is controlled to get the optimal impression in the appreciation size.On the other hand, it is a good impression that there is no finish difference (difference in noise) in the JPEG that processes the JPEG and RAW in the camera.By the way, the Sony camp is not good at (?), But in the case of Sony, it is quite difficult to obtain the ultra -high -sensitivity image quality of JPEG generated by the camera (a personal impression).As a result, you will inevitably hesitate to shoot with RAW, but Nikon has never had it for a long time, and its "sense of security" has been handed down to Z 9.In addition, one of the "Z 9 Nazo" was that some of the negative thoughts on ultra -high sensitivity image quality were diminished while watching various photos taken in Z 9.It may be that the strangeness of painting, which aimed to continue to be a "photo", not the material of the image verification, was soaked in selfish myself without knowing it.I feel that there is a lot to learn about the development of Z 9.When I knew that it wouldn't be equipped with a mechanical shutter, the first thing I was worried about was how much the so -called "electronic shutter distortion" was suppressed, but when I actually used it, I was surprised here.As long as you take a normal dynamic, you will not be bothered by the "distortion".This is amazing.It is clear that Nikon confidently decided to decide on "not mechanical shutter".Z9 had a high degree of perfection suitable for the Z 9, which responded to the expectations of the fans, and the next development of Nikon Z, which the fans expect.It is clear that it is a situation where half -hearted things can not be put out, so that is why it is a natural flow, but "I will not tell you that you are not catching up anymore!"To be honest, I'm stroking my heart.If you need Z 9, you can get Z 9 without hesitation.You should not regret.Although I personally like it, I personally imitated the "new golden combination" unique to Z, which imitates "F5 and F100" and "D3 and D700", that is, the appearance of the appearance of the "Choi Small Dekuru".It's also a chiller ... no, it's Gingin.In the case of miniaturization while taking over the taste of Z 9, it is likely to be a bottleneck to secure a power supply that matches "power performance", but if it is a distorted electronic shutter, there is no luxury in second frame speed.Surely Nikon will do it!No, but I want you to try to rebuild it for the time being."Nikon -like Nikon Camera" is an indispensable thing in this world.Norihiro Ochiai Ochi Ochi Hiro "I got a request for a manuscript on the theme of
