As a Nikon AND Canon user. I am by no means a fanboy… but I just want to say that people who give Nikon shit are delusional and probably in denial… people who bought the z9 2 years ago for being a great camera have an even better camera today, which other brand can say the same? Genuine question 🤔

I was hoping for pre-capture in RAW. That would make the Z9 perfect for my use-case. That's my last wish-list item, other than a cut-down menu system where you just see the items you added from the full menu.

I would have liked to see Pixelshift and PreCapture in RAW. Nice to see they are addressing some of the user requests though.

Being able to switch between Photo in Aperture Priority to Video in MANUAL Priority is a blessing!! Thanks Nikon! :)

The firmware updates are great, but I still have two items on my wishlist to make this the best system. 1) RAW pre-capture and 2) a burst delete function. Shooting sports I often shoot a burst because something might happen, but if it doesn’t, I’d like to be able to delete the burst in one step rather than have to go through each frame individually.

I'm overwhelmed to note your prompt update on firmware 5.0. You are the first you tube influencer to report this 😊❤

[jamesurzykowski]

Dear Rock, I received both of your books Melbourne A Love Affair and Sydney A Love Affair. They were both tastefully autographed so now I am a very happy man. Thank you for your love of photography! I wish I could spend a few months in your country exploring and meeting the people that make Australia such a great country. See you on your next video.

Thanks Matt - I appreciate that you were right on top of this. Nikon just keeps getting better!

Great review.
I was hoping for Raw Pre Release update.

[ramachandraursh.s]

wow superb!!!! thank you for summarizing the V5 firmware.

[drrobertgoldman]

Very happy with the progress of updates for Z8, Z9 as I no longer have a Z7. I do really feel for the Z6(II) and Z7(II) people out there.

Thanks to your video I've updated my Z9 before I've received a firmware update email from Nikon :) Cheers from Canada!

[RaymondParkerPhoto]

Cheers, Matt! Exciting times all around!

Thanks Matt. Really great that Nikon are continuing to develop the Z9 firmware - that's really positive, however, after watching all your video I confess to being rather frustrated. There are quite a number of enhancements there which, I am sure, will enhance the Z9 experience but there is nothing that screams out to me "that's what I really wanted"! Sadly, the one enhancement that I really DO want is still missing - Pre-Capture in RAW. Olympus have been offering this in their OM-1 Mk1 & II so come on Nikon, PLEASE give us that. Personally, I don't care about Pre-Capture at 120fps, 30fps is perfectly adequate but it really does need to be in RAW. I am frightened that Nikon are holding this back for their next camera and might never give it to us in the Z9 or Z8. As a 75 year old pensioner keen on bird and wildlife photography the Z9 & Z8 I now own will almost certainly be the last camera bodies I buy so I really want this feature in RAW for these bodies

[waveland]

They fixed my two biggest video gripes. Top of my list—the camera PASM mode setting is now independent between stills and video (which previously made quick changes between stills and video slow and clunky). That’s great news. And you can now used BT timecode and the external grip at the same time. So now I can begin to use the Z9 in my regular video workflow. That’s a big deal.

Thanks for the heads up! Just updated my firmware! Thanks for the info!

[josephsworkshop]

Nikon just keep on giving. :-) Free stuff over and over again. This camera has surpassed my expectations so many times. Well done Nikon. Thanks Matt. Great summary. 👍🏻

[MikeJamesMedia]

happy I chose the Z9. It just keeps getter better!

[musiqueetmontagne]

Thanks Matt... Good on Nikon, I'm so impressed with what they are doing with firmware where it's possible, lucky to be invested in Nikon gear, they've really turned into a customer focused company. 👏👏👏
