Best Nikon Sports/Action/Wildlife Camera with Caveats

Bruce from SUGAR LAND, TX on 6/12/2025

Verified customer

I ordered and purchased the Nikon Z9 immediately upon release. It had most of the 25 features I was looking for in a Nikon mirrorless camera as an amateur wildlife, sports and action shooter. I've now owned the camera for 3 1/2 years, and as of 2025, FW 5.2, here are my thoughts. MISSING/DOWNSIDES : Heavy body. Stickier AF, Blinkies in STILLS, Pre/Auto-capture in RAW, Global shutter (or faster SYNC speeds), Lacking internal memory for Banks Presets (must be saved to memory card). Focal length identification in the EVF (especially for zoom lenses). Subject/Eye Detection AF Assist with Manual Focus lenses, Higher resolution EVF. RGB histogram in viewfinder. Pixel-shift shooting. Nikon Rubber sealing is weak. Covers on body (left, front) poorly designed. PROS: This is, by far, the best camera I've ever used for sports, action, wildlife photography. The list of positives are just "Gi-Nor-mus". I'm going to try and describe it to those of you that haven't used a camera like this before. 1. Programmability: Nearly everything and nearly all buttons are customizable. I've modified this over time for new features and the way I shoot. It has taught me far more about what's possible than on any other camera (i.e. I use the record button in stills to quickly change AF area modes). The WYSIWYG EVF and ease of changing nearly all settings with buttons (i.e. recall shooting settings), and to be able to change from action bank to Astro (with red menus) etc is just terrific.

Pros: Accurate, quick, sticky AF, Bright EVF. HIGHLY PROGRAMMABLE: Buttons, EVF and LCD screen view. High frame rates. Pre/auto capture. Excellent rear LCD. Silent shooting. Battery life. Excellent subject detection (most of the time). VIDEO AF/Quality (who would have thought).

Cons: Weight. Weather sealing. No zebras/blinkies in stills. No RGB histogram. Unable to see focal length (i.e. for zoom lenses) in EVF display. Bright, but low resolution EVF. No internal memory of "Banks" settings (i.e. have to be saved to memory card for backup). No pixel shift shooting. low sync speed. No global shutter.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
