Ok, it is their flagship, so is it going to stop the bleed? A camera for the everyday working pro and enthusiasts is what I think is needed, not a low volume flagship body with nearly a year of wait time behind it. I actually want Nikon to succeed because the industry need them. I need someone to put pressure on Canon to keep bringing out better gear. And let me remind you that Canon released the r5/6 over a year ago and they have said that the r3 is NOT their flagship. I frankly wish Nikon had followed Canon’s lead here because that would probably put them in a better position to survive by selling more cameras.

If they can make them the Z9 IS a volume body.

The strange comments about the R5 ignore the fact Canon had to announce the Ninja V+. A R5 with the new Ninja is more expensive than the Z9 but still won't match the Z9 in most/any category.

On the R3 there you have Canon rep saying the R3 is not built to flagship build standards.

OTOH Nikon is saying is built better than the D6.

BTW when the firmware update comes out you could always shoot 8K/60 raw and pull stills. If you really want speed.
