A new official Nikon Z9 teaser has fair-and-square arrived on YouTube and hinted at the incoming flagship camera's telling picture skills.

The new promo is the second we've seen for the Nikon Z9 recently, with an earlier one on Oct 5 focusing to a greater extent connected the camera's design. Today's teaser shows the Z9 in a wildlife shooting academic session, fronted by a long lens that could embody the expected 100-400mm telephoto soar.

But perhaps the most riveting particular is the suggestion that the Z9 will X well beyond the 30-minute video recording limit seen on like the Nikon Z6 II. Instead, it looks like we'll get a 80 minutes of continuous recording in 8K resolution.

At least, that's the suggestion from Nikon's YouTube promo, which shows an in-tv camera view of an 8K video recording session, which at length ticks on to unrivaled hour and twenty transactions.

Aside from that video hint, there aren't too many parvenu pieces of information, differently a clearer consider the Nikon Z9's top-denture Liquid crystal display. This appears to equal larger than the nonpareil on the Nikon Z6 2 and Z7 II, although it's not yet clear if this will bring any superfluous functionality.

The video put down push pressed in the teaser also looks a little more prominent than those cameras, just we'rhenium hoping for some bigger bombshells in the Z9's next promo videos. For instance, we static don't sooner or later know what resolution the Nikon Z9's sensor will glucinium, eve if its 8K video powers suggest either 46MP or 50MP like the Sony A1.

Either way, we do know its sensor is going to have a stacked blueprint – and that should signify the Z9 has the power necessary to join the Canon EOS R3 and Sony A1 at the pro mirrorless photographic camera top table.

Analysis: Nikon Z9 shows off its hybrid power

We already knew that the Nikon Z9 would be one of the few full-frame cameras capable of shot 8K video, simply this new annoyer shows that it could leap on the far side the likes of the Canon Eos R5 and Sony A1 in terms of the practicality of that mood.

Both the EOS R5 and A1 have 30-atomic transcription limits in the top 8K mode – so if the Nikon Z9 can so patronize for 80 minutes at its top resolution, that could equal a life-sized deal for some videographers who are looking for a business crossbred wholly-rounder.

That said, the Z9 could also suffice with some features to help make that 8K musical mode genuinely operable. For good example, we'd like to see some thin raw television options to help avoid the inevitable storage and workflow issues – and it'd also beryllium good to interpret Blackmagic RAW and Apple ProRes RAW support included without the $200 upgrade fee we saw on the Z7 II and Z6 II.

Notwithstandin, those confirmed Nikon Z9 features, plus its professional-friendly design, should see information technology chip at out a favorable niche for itself among pro shooters, and advisable-heeled amateurs. We're expecting to see a few more teaser videos arrive before its official launch, which is likely to be sometime in the next calendar month.
