Nikon Z9 Specifications Leaked: Beats Canon EOS R3 & Sony a1

Posted on by

Tony Northrup shows you the leaked specifications (from NikonRumors) of the upcoming Nikon Z9 full-frame mirrorless camera! He compares the Nikon Z9 to the Sony a1, the Canon R5 and the Canon R3. Tony says the Nikon Z9 has advantages over all of them – but it’s being released quite a bit later. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing because Nikon can realize significant advantages by NOT being the leading-edge innovator they have been known to be. By waiting a year or two to release tech, they let Canon and Sony absorb the bulk of the research, development and marketing costs. Check out!
