Nikon Z9 Teaser #2 Showing 8K Capabilities

Nikon published a new teaser for their upcoming  Nikon Z9 mirrorless camera. The second Nikon Z9 teaser  is about 8K video.

Nikon Z9 would use a newly developed full-frame stacked CMOS sensor and a new processing engine. It will also shoot 8K video which means the camera will have a sensor with a resolution of at least 33.1 megapixels (as this is the resolution of an 8K frame).

The Nikon Z9 is already listed at B&HAdorama. See the Nikon Z9 Teaser #2 below.

Here are the details on the updated Nikon Z9 Specifications:
