Finally, Jordan has more than 2 minutes of show time 😁👏

I'm not a Nikon user, but this camera makes me really happy for them. They seem like a great but really underappreciated brand

Holy crap, ProRes 422 HQ internally, Nikon are really stepping up their video focus

Just a friendly reminder that Nikon can't cannibilise it's cinema camera range because it doesn't have any. Their Lens optics are sublime and are virtually without abberations and minimal lens breathing compared to competition and these are also the first iterations. Nikon is playing the slow and steady game but if they continue to do so they may find that their equipment offerings to the consumer a cut above the rest. It's nice to see how these companies are growing.

Wow. PRORES AND PRORES RAW internally..!!! This camera going to be a gamechanger...!!! Well done Nikon. 👏

nikon really stepping up their game, love to see it!

The camera sounds amazing! And for the specs, I think $5,500 is extremely competitive. Bravo Nikon!

Damn, nikon going full sicko mode with the video features. Im glad to see nikon putting prores internaly, i hope fujifilm does it as well in for the next xt/xh series camera. Hopefully nikon will work with Blackmagic to implement the color grading workflow for the z9.

Hearing "zed 9" makes me proud as a Canadian

YES NIKON!!! 😁. I am so happy to see them answering with a seriously competitive photo AND VIDEO flagship camera! 😁👍🏽

We are so happy being Nikon shooters now. Finally Nikon delivers for video and autofocus too. So good!

Thank you so much Jordan for mentioning the HDMI lag on the camera. Was a major issue when I had a Nikon z6 and I'm happy to hear that it's been significantly improved

“Sitting in my hotel room with a stop watch?” A lot of possibilities there.

Wooow Internal ProRes HQ 🥳🥳🥳 Well Done Nikon

Wow!!! This a game changer for Nikon. Canon and Sony will have to rethink their pricing when the Z9 comes out.

The color grading on this video is absolutely fantastic, excellent job Jordan! I shoot Fuji and Sony but man I am so happy for Nikon right now. This was their do or die and they DID.

I hope some of those features will come to the Z6III as well. If they manage to give me Z9 AF, a 4k @60 Full Frame and possibly a 2k @120 (just as a bonus), with 10 bit colors, log recording without and external monitor, I will 100% switch back to Nikon. I miss my Z6 so much, and every time I use my a7III I miss it even more..

From first impressions alone, this sounds perfect. Looking forward to the full review!

I must say I really loved the colors of these two episodes shot on Z9! Very pleasing skin tones and cinematic colors!

Great job Jordan! Video is the area that I care about most, so nice to see a dedicated video on that topic.

I moved from Nikon D4 to the Sony A7r3 in 2018 - very tempted to move back now.

You guys hit exactly what I want to know about these cameras. I love your videos so keep them coming!

This is huge from Nikon. Internal Prores, and soon internal Prores raw is just too good. I’ve always disliked using external recorders. Man, I am really torn between the Z9 and the R3 right now.

So glad to see this win for Nikon. They needed a win and we need this as competitors need to step up their game.

Great job on the video! Very impressive video features and how it appears to work in practice.

This is fantastic to see Nikon presenting a very capable and robust camera to the marketplace. Nikon is in a very unique position in that it does not have dedicated cinema or video cameras. It therefore has free reign to jam pack their flagship camera with high end features. Limited only by what the body style and size can allow. I would even like to see them introduce a cinema camera into their lineup. Just one. Although I doubt that will ever realistically happen.

Great job Jordan. Thanks for all your hard work.

As a Canon and Sony user I gotta say this thing is pretty damn impressive, prores hq internal is awesome, but internal 8k60 raw and prores raw is insane. Wonder what kind of media you need for those formats.

3:18 The crowd is very entertained by Jordan's review.

Thank you Jordan! You looks cool with the big camera in your hand!

Damn. I'm actually excited about this camera. Great review guys!

Pre Production and Nikon nailed it.Future firmware updates could be very promising

The colours in this video are incredible. Nice work.

Wow! Nice camera! Love to see this kind of leapfrogging!

Incredible move by Nikon. I'm expecting Fuji to do all of this minus maybe internal prores with the X-H2, but even that I wouldn't rule out. Nice to see some real innovation in the mirrorless space for video shooters this year.

Happy for Nikon. Still have my D850 but loving my A1 and A9II.

jordan you always do a great job and a great spokesperson for dpreview!

I like your Criterion t-shirt ;)

I love the Nikon colours! So natural!

Thanks a lot, very useful information!

These DP Review z9 videos look amazing.

Very cool! Nice to see Jordan for a whole video!

Great review! No BS, just facts and professionalism.

the skin tones are amazing. I swear I can see a similar look to a D90 that I shot with for many years. now that I've switched to a sony A73, I'm always fighting to get the colors right (but I love it)..

Thanks for this. You guys are the best!

Great video Jordan!

I love the video reviews of this channel:D

The video looks fantastic.

The footage looks great guys. Thank you!

Really cool to see the nikon colour science in video

Those beautiful Nikon colors 😍😍

Jordan! Great presentation! You should be given more air-time in your video sections when reviewing cameras! Direct and to the point! Bravo!

Factual, no frills review. Thank you!

You guys make everything soo interesting, i would watch probably a rock review if you made it

Very cool ! Thanks !

I had to switch to Sony but I AM REALLY HAPPY AND GLAD THAT NIKON MADE AN INCREDIBLE CAMERA! YEAAAH!

Those colors :) Beautiful

Although I had to switch to other brands for hybrid shooting, it is great to see my all time favourite brand slowly getting its mojo back. This camera is a beast. All I wonder is the future raw support with it. If you hear me I would love to move back Nikon, please release more video centric cameras in the future! Maybe a little more affordable ones! 😅

Very Nice, Nikon Has Made a comeback, i was getting worried that it was going to be the end for NIKON, but they bounced back, and This Z9 Beats the Canon R3.. Very Nice 8K Recording In raw and the down sample 4k always a great touch.. and More Importantly they have mastered the Auto Focus to be acceptable for shooting Video. Very Nice.

Is it just me, or did the video (and Chris's photos) have a magenta/orange cast to them?

Huge z6 for video shooter here - I have found that the electronic VR in the Z6 is a "Virtual Tripod" where any kind of movement is fought aggressively, But the Lens and In Body VR are great for smoothing out Bumps and bonks. So If i Want my Hand held to look like a locked off tripod, I use both stabilization methods. I still use a gimbal if there is any sort of great movement though, and I like the In body VR on in that circumstance.

The Z9 looks awesome!!

Holy **** this looks good :-)

Awesome! As a Nikon stills shooter and S1h videoshooter this might be all I need in the future. I’m really interested in how it compares to panasonic’s vlog.

The real question is, will Z9 make you move away from your S1H?? 😍😜👍 Btw just love the Nikon colors in the video, Beautiful!

Great video!

The talking head footage is fantastic! I’m impressed.

wow. this is indeed sharp, high quality video than your usual video camera.

Great job, good presenter.

Yeap, good to have a dedicated video series! About the camera, I am impressed by the quality of the footage. Nice skin and punchy colors. One aspec that you did not cover is the DYNAMIC range, which is in my top list. As I see, on some part of the video there is no sun, and still the sky is missing, so I hope you can test and report with DSC labs measuring tool the dynamic range for video. But still great footage and great work! Regards from Bulgaria guys!

Jordan’s internal struggle for best video hybrid camera was well conveyed. I feel your pain, even though I’m not in the market for any of those cameras.

Fantastic camera. As a Z6 II user I am really looking forward to this piece of technology as I mainly shoot video with it. It would be a real game changing feature if they design also ND filters in it or an electronic version of ND filters. The lack of these filters is the only reason for not going fully for these camera's!!! Now on the Z6 II I use standard the Case Clip Filters, also protecting the sensor from dust. These Z camera's are really dust magnets on its sensor. Hope they found a decent solution for that as well?

The most impressive feature in my opinion would be the internal ProRes option.

I'm so happy to see Nikon bringing this screen. I hope it goes for the z6iii and z7iii I've been shooting with fuji, but I hated when they changed the screen on the x-t4. A z7iii with this screen and video capabilities could be all the camera I ever wanted.

Thank you for saying Zed

I'm really happy to see the video features in this camera. Being a hybrid a hybrid freelancer this would be a great tool to upgrade to from my current Nikon DSLR's (D810+D800). The only feature I wish it had is a digital hotshoe to attatch an XLR-unit for professional internal audio capture (like Sony and Panasonic have had for ages, and now even Canon has). For many years now I've been using a Canon cinema camera for video and Nikon DSLR's for stills and I would really appreciate to be able to leave the cinema camera at home more often. I will still need to keep using it as having internal ND-filters and servo zoom lenses are essentual for ENG and documentary work. BUT... Now that Nikon has a really excellent 8K video sensor it would be really cool if they also put it in a cinema camera body with internal ND's and on body XLR-ports. That way I would be able to invest heavily in Z-glass and also use it for my video camera.

Damn, this is a really nice camera.

Very impressive

I am so happy for NIKON nation 👍🏾

I always forget that DPReview is down the street!

This thing is a beast. I was really hoping Nikon would pull out all the stops with this one and it looks like they actually did. It was a bit touch and go for a while. But I think they might just be starting to make a comeback.

We love Jordan eyes ❤️

I love the video quality

Was thinking of moving up from my D300s to a Z6II... now thinking Z9. Will wait to see. Though I was hesitant to drop $2k on a Z6II... the Z9 is a bigger investment... but would handle my video needs as well as my still needs better than a Z6II.

great video! what’s the base iso for prores 422 and prores raw?? also, is there a nikon LUT specific for N-log z9 clips/has anyone used it yet?

What a camera. Wow.

Hey Jordan, are there any specs on the HDMI output yet? Are we going to see 4K 120 out for utilization of the Ninja V+?

Separated reviews are great! I'm in all means not a video person and although Jordan is a great person with more than a bit of charisma, I prefer to watch Chris talking about all these incredible photo specs I can't afford without any successful robbery.

Such a solid company will have a solid headstone Z9!

I'm really stoked for this now! I've always wanted an A1 but maybe that will change.

Internal raw, finally! Though, I'll wait until the official firmware release though, as the roll out for Atomos prores raw was a nightmare.

Wonderful video. Can I ask if the Z9 has a DX crop mode for video similar to the Z6?

I have always loved the fact that Nikon has always put both a Flat Profile and a Neutral Profile on there camera's weather it be a mirroless camera or a DSLR camera

Nice video

Hey what is your suggestion on memory cards and sizes for shooting video on the z9

Would like to know if the Z9 can shoot movies with 8K30/60 or 4K60/120 with FX, DX or 1:1 pixels like the panasonic s1r can

Is the sound of continuous focusing audible? Which lens make less sound?

Any suggestions on a good, better, best lens option for the Z9? (shooting video)

I heard that Z9's 4K120fps has a crop mode. You can choose to shoot with no crop or 2.3x crop on 4k120fps. Could you please test the video quality on both modes? Is the 2.3x cropped 4k120fps better? Thanks

I wonder how Nlog on this camera would compare to Nlog on Z6, which is beautiful. I see that it has the same problem as previous cameras when using Flat profile. It has a weird pinkish hue in skin tones which is not there when using the Neutral profile. And in my findings when you dial down the contrast on the Neutral it gives pretty much the same amount of dynamic range as Flat.
