I am very lucky. Last week, I wrote an email to my favorite reseller in Germany ( I live in France), i wanted to know how long it would take to get the z100-400 in case of order. My reseller asked ...

Z9 with FTZII and 500mm pf. 1/5000°s;  f/5.6;  ISO 500.

I suppose Nikon forgot to tell that we have to turn the camera off after updating fw, like they ask it with other cameras...

You can change it in custom settings d20. I've also put this function in My Menu, in order to change to 120fps when needed ( fast actions), other ways, I'll let in 60fps.

I use exactly this same setting, I switch from shutter ( which I assigned wide L area with animal detection), to Back Button Focus where I assigned 3D tracking, and it works fine. I'm a excited and ...

I've written to DXO support to ask the same question. They should support the Z9 about mid-march... let's wait...

I already own the 500mm pf for birds in flight. But sometimes for mammals, I would prefer a shorter focal length. Why not considering the 80-400 F mount lens that seem very sharp and you can find ...

Many thanks for all your advices, they are vey helpful. I already own the 500pf, and it's a wonderful lens paired with Z9. But sometimes, animals are to big, or I'm near the animals, and the 80mm ...

If someone is using this combo ( with FTZ), could he indicate how fast is the AF ? Would it be worth getting it for birds in flight ? Thanks.

hello, I also live in France, i bought it and got it from this shop: https://www.kamera-express.fr but it seems to be not available anymore.

I got my Z9 from a German retailer within 3 weeks after my order...and I'm not NPS member. Nikon Europe delivers pretty fast.

I received mine 13th January from a german retailer, my serial sounds like 6005xxx.

Sounds really to be a nice solution, I think I'll go with the flipside 400. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I think with lens hood reversed, I'm afraid the lens hood is a bit poor to support all this weight for a long time... thanks for all this help.

Many thanks, The Ruggard Alpine 600 seems very nice to me, but I cannot find it in Europe...

Hi, I'd like to buy a new backpack that would accept to put vertically  my Z9 with 500mm pf attached, when I'm walking for " birding". Ant idea would be appreciate. Thanks

If you want to update a Z6II, then tne latest fw is 1.30 If it is the Z6 ( first model), then the fw is 3.40 It is impossible that your Z6II is in version 2.01, it doesn't exist yet...

Your position in US is incredible. I live in France, but have order it 11/17 in Germany, I'm not NPS. I'll get it already tomorrow with UPS. Incredible fast compared to NPS users in US.

I've order the z9 on 11.17, and I got a call that it is available, and I'll get it next tuesday 11th january. It was ordered in Germany. I'm very excited and waiting for my new camera.
