Nikon Z9 Leaked Specifications
Nikon has officially announced the development of Z9 in March this year. And that made Nikon lovers all over the world restless. The release of the Nikon Z9 is much anticipated worldwide since it is going to be Nikon’s first-ever flagship mirrorless camera. Even though the official specifications are not announced yet, there are some rumours about the expected specifications in Nikon Z9, according to Nikon Rumours.
Things got escalated with Olympics 2020 as there are some sightings of a non-released Nikon mirrorless camera model used by some top-level sports photographers, in the Olympics.
And the camera in these leaked images matches the appearance of the Z9 which appeared in Nikon’s development announcement earlier this year. Therefore, it is highly believed that what people have seen is the actual Z9 and they might be given to top-level photographers to test the performance before releasing it to the public.
