Still, it’s unlikely Sony can add massive new features on the A1. Don’t expect a new 8k60p function like the Z9 has. this begs the question if Sony should at this point hurry up the release of the A1II. So let Sony know what you think about this:
Melville, NY –Market data from The NPD Group has confirmed the Nikon Z 9 is the top selling professional flagship full-frame mirrorless camera in the first Quarter of 2022.1
The data is based on a comparison of U.S. unit sales of full-frame mirrorless cameras with an average selling price of $5000 and above in the first three months of the year. The Nikon Z 9 attainted a 57% unit share in this segment, attesting to Nikon’s ability to listen intently to the needs of the high-end and professional customer who cannot compromise on their equipment.
“This flagship category is vital; this is where the top-of-the-line technology, performance and reliability matter most, for the most demanding customers,” said Jay Vannatter, Executive Vice President, Nikon Inc. “We are constantly receiving shipments of the Z 9 from the factory, which are immediately out the door to customers. We are working as hard as we can to fulfill the demand, and it’s truly invigorating to hear the overwhelmingly enthusiastic and positive response from more and more customers everyday who are receiving their cameras.”
Since shipment began in December of 2021, the Nikon Z 9 has caught the creative industry by storm with a potent and powerful mix of high-performance still and video features for professionals, and has even been called a “triumph,” and Nikon’s “most significant camera in a decade.”2 In April of this year, Nikon announced Firmware 2.0, a free update that added extreme cinematic and fast capture capabilities. The Nikon Z 9 is highly praised by users, reviewers, critics and editors, with DPReview.com awarding it with Camera of the Year, the Reader’s Choice Award and highest score ever for a digital camera, 94%.
