    My God the Z9 was already a beast but now it’s a monster. This is about to get real. Upping the EVF refresh rate! I do remember you (Chris) bashing the 60 fps EVF refresh rate at launch. I guess we owe ya one.

      What's next? After beast and now monster, 3.0 must make it an Eldrich horror then! What would it include? BRAW? Resizable and movable waveforms? LUT preview / sideload?
      Nikon really did good here and I hope they continue doing so. Competition is good for everyone!

      I'm pretty sure Z9 just became the flat out best camera in existance. Some other cameras like A1 might have slightly better frame rate etc, but Z9 just takes all possible strengths and combines into one package.

      now the Z6ii and 7ii also have AF updates.... I don't think we'll see a faster and better tracking AF, but rather one that no longer focuses on the background... we'll see time will tell. With a dual processor one would expect a bit more from the Z6ii and Z7ii though...

From a slow rack focus to a fast transition, two speeds are now assignable on customizable buttons to improve video shooting efficiency." & "AF stability, tracking performance, and subject detection in low-light situations have been enhanced."

    For Jordan: A question for a future video, is it possible with focus point assignment to FN buttons to essentially set focusing marks like a focus puller would (but autofocus)? Could be especially interesting with the external grip!
    Essentially: start rolling camera a the first mark, press FN1 and either af-on or use af-f, let it hit, then press FN 2 for another mark and engage af again.
