      Love it Louis "We love Nikon, We buy Nikon, but what we expect Nikon to do is produce a product that's going to be worth our investment". No truer words were said except for "The Z9 is a beast" Tally ho!

Louis is indeed a good friend and the type you want to keep on the high shelf in life because they will never let you down and hopefully we can return favors to our good friends like that. Cheers to you, your gal, Louis, Nikon shooters and Nikon! Happy New Year and be safe.

    I can so identify with your plight with the Z9. Ordered my Z9 the morning of the announcement and was hoping it would arrive before my trip to the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge in Sanibel FL on Jan 20. But alas it did not arrive and I muddled along with my old D850/500 combo and really got some great images even though I could have greatly benefitted from the WYSIWYG viewfinder and especially the 20fps. And yes you guessed it the day I returned from my trip I got the ship notification that my Z9 would be arriving the next day. Love your storytelling, will be interested to see more in the future.

    That was really nice of Louis to let you use his camera for the morning. Beautiful photography there Josh. I especially liked the pintail images. Pintails and Wood Ducks are my 2 favorite waterfowl. One universal truth about technology (coming from a guy who spent most of his 36 year career in the IT industry) is that no matter what tech you buy today, in 2 years something faster, better, more powerful will come along. That Z9 should be producing beautiful images years from now just like it does today even though the next iteration will have more features and "better" technology. Things were so much simpler with my Nikon FE2 35mm film camera. The only thing a photographer had to worry about was exposure and composition. I thought the center weighted metering and aperture priority setting was the "cat's meow". I'm really looking forward to your experiences with the Z9. It's always good to see this from a photographer who shoots similar subjects under similar conditions as I do.

    I loved the little bits where we saw a "Josh" in his natural habitat 😉 Amazing pictures and footage as always! I'm jealous of the amount of wildlife you got to see!

      Thanks Mark. A lot of traveling around to see that wildlife. Fun stuff.

    Nicely done Josh. You are a great story teller, and that is of much greater value than someone who simply reviews technical details. And I too am capable making "average images" with good equipment. I do it all the time! Take care.

    The best bald eagle photos I've ever taken were with the Z9, 600/4, and 2xTC. The only advice I can offer is to spend considerable time researching the menus - which are much different from the Z6ii/Z7ii. Bottom line is, there is no right or wrong configuration - but it's important to re-think some old paradigms.

    Always fun to tag along on your photo ops. Your storytelling is what drew me into your channel initially and is what keeps me coming back for the next episode. I really wanted to move from the D500 to the Z9, but that will have to wait a few years. When I retire next February i will take stock and see if it is in the cards.

    I received my Z9 on Christmas Eve and I love it. I've watched a few RUclipsrs struggling with capturing video content complaining as they go, not realizing that they'e settings were completely FUBARed; incorrect Autofocusing Mode, incorrect subject detection, etc. You actually have to be smarter that the camera to maximize its potential. Good luck and congratulations!

    • @BayouJosh

      Then there is a good chance I may struggle. that camera is pretty dang smart. programming 101...garbage in garbage out.

    Congratulations Josh on finally getting your Z9! I can’t wait to see your up coming videos. My Z9 is in the mail… it seems like it’s been a much longer wait than it actually was.
