Z 9

This was likely shot with one of the Nikon Z9s they have onboard. In which case, I'd say this is likely largely unaltered, to the extent possible. EDIT: Someone has provided a link and EXIF data, it was shot with a D5, with both a long exposure and high ISO. It's probably had a fair bit of noise red

The D5 is actually still Nikon's best low-light camera - it's even better than the D6 at high ISO, and is about 2/3 of a stop better than a Z9 above ISO 2000. However, it's noticeably worse under ISO 200, even compared to a D750 or D850. EDIT: actually D6 has the same sensor. PhotonsToPhotos shows t

The Z9 and needed lenses are most likely not fully modified for the mission, so they took the fully certified D5 instead. Yes Z9s are already on the ISS, this isn't the same mission. They do have a Z9 on board albeit with a 40/2. For the D5's defense, its sensor's got the best high ISO performance o

Exactly. As good as it is, the Nikon P1000/1100 only employs a 1/2.3" (6.17mm x 4.55mm) sensor. Now, imagine the quality possible from a professional, full-frame (36mm x 24mm) sensor on a Nikon Z9 mirrorless or D6 DSLR, which is over thirty times that size. In broad daylight, at base-ISO, there woul

“Gear doesn’t matter” means buying a great ( expensive) camera doesn’t make you a great photographer. A great photographer will get great shots regardless of the gear. Conversely, an untrained/unskilled photographer isn’t going to get great shots just because they have a great camera. As a few peopl

Honestly all of their camera choices have drawbacks. The D5 they are using for still images is ten years old, the Z9 is newer but an odd choice all around with the ISO max of just over 100k. their lense choices are also strange only going wide angle and telephoto, tbh I'd have loved to see a super t

We actually added the S1 II to our tools alongside our Z 9 bodies last summer as a high end hybrid tool for photo and some videography. The S1 II have better low light and high ISO capabilities and also a better dynamic range compared to the Z 9. Not to mention better video capabilities. In this reg

This is not entirely true, the context is very important and it's more nuanced than the charts suggest. Bill Claff's measurements are invaluable, but they measure pixel level noise. To compare the results from a D5 and Z9 in terms of what you will actually see, you have to down sample the Z9 files t

You will need glass. Glass is better than cropping when you are trying to increase your reach. But some subjects in nature are still too small at 600mm like birds. The extra pixels certainly help with the wildlife, because there is a limit on the amount of glass you can get. Though if your subject i

Ich fotografiere sehr viele Events/ Konzerte und je nachdem was du erreichen willst muss das passende in der Kamera eingestellt werden. Bei mir mit Nikon Z9 habe ich die ISO Automatik begrenzt auf 12800. Ansonsten arbeite ich immer mit Verschlusspriotität da man auch gerne mal schnelle oder langsame
