Another year, another new camera. Let’s discuss the release of Nikon’s Z9 and what it could mean for YouTube nation.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every six months or so, you’ll probably notice that we announce or cover a new major release<\/a> from the normal camera manufacturers you’ve come to know and love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d venture to say that since 2017 going into 2018, especially with the releases from Blackmagic Design<\/a> with the Pocket Cinema Camera lineup<\/a>, we haven’t had a giant shakeup in the consumer-level camera market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, all that changes today! Nah, just kidding. Kind of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the release of the Nikon Z9<\/a>, we’re now treated to yet another stunning mirrorless option for hybrid shooters that will give you everything you need to take a pretty photo or pull off a gorgeous shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll talk briefly about what the camera can do and who it’s for. But, the TLDR version of this article is this: I’m exhausted with every camera release being presented as the best camera ever made or the “end-all-be-all” to consumer cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you don’t mind, I’d like to talk a bit about this camera, and why it doesn’t matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera Releases in General<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To put it plainly, I guess camera releases are boring now. And, no matter how clickbaity you make the title to an article or video, if that camera isn’t living up or exceeding on the current mainstays in the camera market, then nobody is going to care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose it’s kind of like a Marvel movie<\/a>. You see the trailer and Disney<\/a>‘s marketing is like, “Trust us, this one is way different than the last and without a doubt the most important one yet.” So, you go see it, and it’s inconsequential and just like the others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, do you have fun watching it? Of course you do! It’ll always be a good time and consistent, which is how I feel about these cameras. They’re not bad cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any major release from a manufacturer in 2022 is going to be able to produce stunning results that would have made you gasp four or five years ago. They’re just not worth the time, energy, and money that these article and video publishers are making it out to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re paying $5,000 for a camera, it’s more than likely going to be just as good as every other $5,000 camera, with the added or subtracted feature over the competitor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
