Yes, Z9 on the right. I agree. I am very happy with it at all ISO values.

Thank you for explaining this. So the Z9 is less than 2000, correct? And if I repeat these shots at 64 and either 200 or 400, I should see no difference, right? That would make me happy.

For what it is worth, here are the ISO 2000 shots from Z7 and Z9 side by side in lightroom and NX Lightroom

I have been using the Z7 since it was released and have gotten used to shooting at ISO 64 and the Shutter Speed that I wanted, even if the images were under exposed, knowing I could adjust in post ...

Same shots from the Z7 Lightroom with the ISO 64 shot boosted +5 Exposure

There is a massive difference here (another crop from NX with Noise Reduction unchecked for both files)

Two shots at 1/13 and f5.6 (same amount of light reaching sensor) ISO 64 and ISO 2000 (5 stops) ISO 64 shot boosted 5 stops in Lightroom and NX 400% crop in Lightroom 400% crop in NX

Definitely Lightroom not treating the RAW files the same. Here is my attempt at equalizing the exposures, (but contrast is different as well).

I am not sure why it is brighter. shot them side by side at the same time. But why would more light cause more noise, seems the opposite should be true.

Before Boosting Shadows.

Underexposed by 5 stops, then +5 Exposure and +100 shadows Z7 vs Z9

I shot both cameras 5 stops under exposed and then boosted them in Lightroom Classic with +5 Exposure. For good measure I also put the shadow slider to +100. I was very surprised to see the Z9 ...

Please speak for yourself. I have no reason to exaggerate my experience. I had a D850 from the the day it was released (D800 and 810 before that). I have NEVER been able to use AF-C in my studio ...

interesting. I am not finding that at all. I am shooting in very similar studio conditions with the 24-70 2.8S and 50 1.2S and getting 90% or better even wide open. Yesterday, there were even ...

I am shocked that no one (the usual suspects) has done this yet. With dual sensors, surely the firmware update for the 6ii and 7ii will be even better!!

I have shot over 50,000 photos with the Nikon Z7. What I can say, absolutely definitively, is that the recent Z7 Firmware update is the most consequential firmware update I have ever experienced. ...

I preordered on the first day with Nikon Thailand. So I am number 5 on the list. They said the first batch is likely to be 10 bodies. So, will find out soon. Nice thing about scarcity, if I am not ...

IR filter actually makes images sharper. OLPF filter makes an image less sharp.
