N-photo verdict

The Z 9 blitzes its main rivals, the Sony A1 and Canon EOS R3, with its blistering 120fps burst shooting, 8K 60p capability, over 2½ hours of 8K 30p recording, and a much lower price. The amazing AF system has caught up to its rivals, the electronic-only shutter has yet to cause any headaches, and the battery life is best in class. This could be the ultimate all-round hybrid.
