Yeh...and that's coming from the "Nikon can do no wrong" guy...or should I say fanboy.
I don’t remember writing that the Z9 would be able to teleport photographers to the moon though.
But that’s pretty much what a couple of Sony fans on this very forum were predicting for the a9II.
As far as Nikon doing no wrong. I am very critical of their pace of delivery on the Z system, I think they should have fitted the Z6/7 with two memory slots, I think that firmware 2.01 should have been the level of AF performance to ship the camera with, I think that even with firmware 2.01 they are still behind the a7rIV in terms of eye AF, I think that their policy for software update in alignement with OS releases is really poor (recent iOS 13 update issues with Snapbridge is just incredible), I think that their mgt of stock is abysmal (how many great lenses remain unavailable for months after release),... this being far more critical than anything I have ever seen you write about Sony my friend.
The praise I have given to Nikon have always been confirmed to be accurate. From the DR of the D3X to the AF of the D850 and now the outstanding quality of Z glass.
And I have always praised Sony for their innovation and market shaking potential. I am just noting a clear slow down with the a9II, even understanding that this camera clearly targets sport shooters, which I have always known contrary to the same Sony fans who were describing it as an alrounder and therefore sure it would come with a 36mp sensor.
Cheers,
