Z 9

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

I'm sure if Nikon wanted to add a mode where they read out the entire sensor 15 or 20 times a second, they could do that. We already see frame rate differen

Omfg, they are using a Nikon D5?! They could have literally saved weight by just sending up a newer Nikon Z9 with any of the newer Nikon s-line lenses. I just can't with NASA right now, production of the launch was garbage and they are sending astronauts to the moon for the first time in 50 years us
