Other manufacturers send photographers to sport events in good weather. Nikon sends Morten to a trip near the North Pole. Very impressive. Amazing test of a flagship camera.
I'm not sure if Nikon sent Morten, or if that where Morten was going and Nikon followed along 😂 Either way, kudos Nikon for testing in these brutal conditions.
@@bradm7585 but some how it was the real world enviroment & I am very impressed by the camera when he try to take picture of the small bird 🐦 in low light situation . Z9 was still responding it was the bad weather that stop them not the camera .
This is the best "commercial" I've ever seen. Laying down with the camera in a mud, adjust ISO with wet and dirty finger; swipe water drops from info screen.... Damn this is the real in a field (or rather tundra?) test of professional equipment conducted by professional! Cheers Morten!
Couldn't agree more, I just sent this video to a friend exactly saying this, how great it is to see such confidence in this kind of equipment. 10/10 Marketing but from what I have seen this camera is also a pretty serious contender!
Absolutelly stunning! The music and drama at the end. Great to see Nikon acknowledge Morten’s talent and dedication to the wildlife photography. This could be 2h long movie and I would still ask for more. Z9 looks like a fantastic camera.
Great to see Nikon recognizing your outstanding wildlife photography by having you do some real world testing of the new Z9 (loved that it was covered in dirt by the end of the day)!
@@MortenHilmer is this something you would do with one of these if you paid for it yourself? I'm fairly new to the art and I'm not sure how much I should be trusting the weather sealing. (I hope this doesn't come off as judgy, I'm legitimately curious how someone as experienced as you are would treat their gear!) Fantastic video, this camera seems like it is amazing
Finally somebody who actually knows what is wildlife photography and not just talk about it in the studio, like Tony does. You and Steve Perry are the only trustworthy source on youtube when it comes down to wildlife. Kudos to you guys!
Totally agree, just watch Tony’s Z9 review, nope more like a trashing session, he didn’t even have the camera. Professional camera should be tested in real world not in TH-camr studio.
Laying alone, in and covered in, coastal mud inside the Arctic circle, peril from giant Bears, capturing exquisite images of tiny birds, very inspirational. Nikon will not have a better intro to the Z9 on here.
What I like most about this is its "real"...Crap light, crap weather, plenty of mud, cold n wet and the dialogue is naturally delivered. Looking forward to part two. 👍
I am back to this video again and I have to say that the normality of the presentation is so so unreal. The raw elements of this do make me want a true camera again. and its the normality, civil presentation that takes me to the passion I used to have with my F3, D70, D 3 … no shiny steadycam like footage from megacities, street cooking …. this is a reminder of a passion, lust, thrill we used to have … but lost it somewhere with all the camera and phone models releases ..far many . Thank you for this video. Its a game changer for me, an awakening … I am coming back, this is what photography was all about and I am greatfull for people like Morten to remind us why we are here for. Thank you.
Now that's how you test a camera! I can just see the team at Nikon cringing at all the mud & water. The Purple Sandpipers were a real delight. Cheers Morten.
Good to have Nikon supporting Morten by both hiring him as an ambassador and providing such amazing equipment. Well done as usual, and quite exciting time.
As a fellow wildlife/Nature photog, who is absolutely wanting the Z9, there's nobody better Nikon could've got to showcase the Z9's capabilities to me, bc one of the things I've always loved about Morten (besides his dedication to craft) is that he does NOT "baby" his gear...as we saw in this video 😂 The Z9 seems VERY rugged & I need that with the terrain/conditions I shoot in at times. I'm sold! & eagerly awaiting the next episode!
@Morten Hilmer I love how excited you get when you come upon a wildlife photo opportunity. You demonstrate and show a true respect for nature and all it holds with the childlike wonderment that I find within myself when I am out on adventure. The world and all it's beauty..... Breathtaking Beauty!!!! Thank you kindred spirit!
These are the types of reviews we all like to see. yeah all new cameras have that "good" technical spec sheet. what we need are real world scenarios like these. great video as always.
@Photogopinion yeah exactly.. and the one who just read the spec sheet will never show us how the product will react to a extreme weather like in Svalbard. as i said before, this video is really good and i hope other companies do stuff like this instead of just inviting photographers to a controlled studio to check the new cameras out.
Those reindeer looked really well fed and healthy. Good to see. I never cease to be amazed at how arctic wildlife manages to not only eke out an existence in such harsh conditions but even thrive onit as with those reindeer.
That was my exact thoughts too! In my whole life I have never seen more well fed reindeers even though I see a lot of them up here in the north of Sweden! And it didn’t looked like it was just a thicker fur either. Most amazing considering the very meager environment!
@@freetibet1000 In the late summer and short fall, they eat constantly to build fat stores to insulate(hollow fur) and provide calories to carry then through the barren winter. Bears are fat in early fall and dangerously thin by the break of winter.
@@stanspb763 Thank you for you answer! Yes that’s the normal routine in the animal kingdom. I guess my comment was about never having seen that amount of well fed and overall healthy reindeers in late summer or fall here in Sweden though. But when I come to think of it maybe it’s because the winters must be even colder and longer at Svalbard than in Scandinavia. Therefor they need to “stock up” their depots ever more before the hard winter arrives? Is that reasonable theory maybe?
Wonderful, Peaceful, adventurous…! I simply love your videos and of course your pictures! Nikon is very lucky to have you showing the new Z9! And you are lucky to have a Z9!
Last one minute was just at another level. Seeing a majestic polar bear in wild is a dream. I think that bear came to reward you for all the hard work.
A fantastic documentation of this land and it’s wildlife and weather. Great to see the z9 keep up in such harsh conditions and kudos to Nikon for getting eye AF spot on!
Jesus christ, Morten. Your channel, your work, is the best thing I've found on the internet ever. So good to watch your videos, fells like a cozy place here. So anxious for the next episode.
Couldnt have picked a better person for some hands on time with this amazing camera. I LOVE seeing Morten treat this like any of his other cameras... muddy, wet and banging on the rocks. Amazing footage and captures. Morten has a way of setting a modd to a video that is unmatched. Well done and so happy to see you in Svalbard again. Stay safe.
I absolutely love how you're just beating that camera, lay it in the dirt, clean a dirty display with a wet finger, mud everywhere... What an absolute workhorse! So happy for you, that Nikon got you this camera to play!
every time I watch your videos I get an overwhelming urge to get down in the dirt as deep as possible to film or photograph wild animals... thanks for your films they are really inspiring to me... and hopefully for the others too
This was absolutely beautiful footage, Morten, thanks so much for sharing, made me smile all the way! I cannot wait for the next episode with the polar bear, absolutely loved watching the reindeers, wow. It was so exciting to see the Z9 in action, the animal eye AF looks rather impressive under those low light conditions, stickier and faster to acquire focus than our Z6s for sure: when the subject hides behind a stone or another animal, the system seems to predict where it is most likely to reappear and reacquires focus so fast... I was not convinced Nikon were going to pull this off and produce a flagship of that caliber, but this video proves me wrong. If confirmed by more users, this is a major moment for the brand: their pro lenses are so good they warranted a higher end body to shine. Clearly a very successful assignment for Nikon, ambassadors and customers are impressed! All the very best
Iam so glad you were asked to try out the Z9. Of all the videos from Nikon today this was among the best. It was realistic down to the cup of coffee which is your trademark. Hope to soon have a Z9 join my D500 and 850. Great work you 2. Good job Nikon.
Such isolation and beauty, so well captured. Morten you inspire me with your passion and the obvious joy you feel experiencing the land and it's inhabitants. I believe the Z9, is proving to be up to the task of preserving those experiences.
Notifications about Morten’s video is always delightful….And that suspense in the end leave us in splits…hope you upload the next episode very soon…can’t wait
« I’m too close to the bird with the 800 for its minimum focus distance » I love this moment! The moment is so peaceful. Thanks for this little trip you allow us to do from our sofa!!!
Congratulations Morten on your years of commitment to wildlife photography and your previous trips to Svalbard, you are an inspiration for all of us and give us hope that we too can succeed to this level. Looking forward to what is next, partnering with Nikon is hopefully the beginning of a new era of adventures for you.
Bravo. On est avec eux sur Svalbard sous la pluie, dans le froid et sous la tente. Magnifique reportage où tout est dit. Nikon reste fidèle à sa réputation avec ce Z9, soumis à des conditions météo difficiles.
A very big and warm THANK to you, dear, Morten, for sharing this unique endeavor in the Svalbard wilderness! I am always so grateful for following you on your outings and the adventures of photographic trips around the artic area! Such wonderful YT videos you always show us here, your faithful followers on your TH-cam channel! Please stay blessed and safe and healthy during these perilous times we are living in now! Wishing you all the very best always! Warm greeting from Sweden! PS. Your choice of music is adding so much beauty to harmonizes the majestic landscape and the moments of showing the wildlife and landscape! So nice video all in all!
@@b0ddo Interesting to see that it’s actually possible to make an over-all better and more durable camera so much cheaper! Personally, I hope Nikon now turns their focus towards the development of a Z camera that is replacing the trusted D850. Something that will satisfy the needs of landscape/nature photographers in need of as high resolution and dynamic range as possible. All focus on IQ and sensor in that one. Heck, I don’t even mind if such camera only shoots in 5 frames/sec and lack video. Maybe it is even possible for Nikon to enlarge the sensor-size within the boundaries of the new z mount, 44x33 mm maybe? Is it possible?
@@freetibet1000 A lerger sensor would not be feasable, due to the lenses taht have limited image circle (due to their design); mount a slighly larger sensor (hypotetically) and the image corners would be atrocious. D850 replacement, with a grip taht usez Z9 battery would be great. An a crop sensor version of this Z9.
@@b0ddo Yea, a slightly larger sensor was just a silly thought of mine. For a minute I thought that there’s some extra room for a larger sensor. If the current line of lenses can handle that or not is of course another hurdle to consider as well. Which I have no insight into either? I was just daydreaming a little bit for a while, ha ha!
Morten, so happy that Nikon recognizes your talent and passion for wildlife photography. They cannot have a better ambassador to show off what the Z9 can do . Your videos, images and story telling is simply amazing.
Absolutely Magical. On Monday morning I preordered my Z9 and the S-line 70 - 200 and 85mm. Today (Tuesday) I was having a moment of doubt after spending all that money and ended up finding this video on line. Seeing the camera and lenses being used out in the real elements, dirty, muddy, rainy, sandy... made me yearn for the days I started in photography, back when lived in Alaska on Adak Island. The images are superb and I loved just seeing the joy of Morten using the camera. Nice to see real dirt and water on the equipment not just a bunch of good weather shooting.
You are always creative in photography, as if we were watching the documentary program and the world of pubs. National Geographic is creative, and thank you.
Wonderful footage and story telling, Morten. It always put a smile on my face to see you out in the nature - and so well deserved that Nikon picked you to do a field test of the new Z9. Proud on your behalf. All the best, Nils
Un bonjour de France l'ami, il y a un bon moment que je regarde vos vidéos sur TH-cam, elles sont exceptionnelles, vous faites de très beaux reportages animalier, merci de nous faire rêver, vivement les prochaines.....
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video. I'm really happy for you that you became an ambassador and got to test the new Z! Much deserved! Love your approach on testing the new camera, just taking it out and using it instead of throwing around specs and the like. Thank you Morten for being you and bringing us the joy and beauty of the wild to our homes.
Morten, this is priceless! Thank you for giving us the great joy of seeing you suffering in “Heaven!“ - Stay safe and tell us more of this amazing trip. I feel sorry for the Z9 - give it my deepest sympathies!
Superbe vidéo , superbes photos , pourtant c'est difficile quand il n'y a pas de soleil.Alors bravo Morten, mille fois bravo , si tu peux , fait nous venir le soleil ☀️☀️☀️.
Other manufacturers send photographers to sport events in good weather. Nikon sends Morten to a trip near the North Pole. Very impressive. Amazing test of a flagship camera.
Nikon flag cameras are always tested on harsh enviroment .
If I were to test camera's I'd also prefer to go to these desolate places. Sports suck :D
Actually, Morten took Nikon to Svalbard. They merely provided the camera. :D

Real-world review on TH-cam just got real.
Thank you Nikon & Morten.
You are the best Ambassador for Denmark and Nikon, TAK Morten !
Tusind mange tak Flemming, 🙏
My favorite Z9 video at launch. Amazing.
Last one minute was just at another level. Seeing a majestic polar bear in wild is a dream. I think that bear came to reward you for all the hard work.
Amazing.
Just to see the Z9 getting put through the ringer in the mud and wet! Absolutely amazing.
Nice to see you Morten...getting 'down & dirty' with the Z9. That's what a true pro camera is meant for...come rain, snow ❄️ or shine. 😉📸
Love this! Glad to see Nikon recognize a Real Professional :)
This is the only "review" I care about haha
I’ve never been this excited by a camera since the Nikon D700. The Z9 is just incredible!
What a great Guy Morton is. Not the camera, but the opportunities to take pictures is the bonus.
You were the best choice for putting the amazing Z9 to the test. I admire you and your work a lot!!
I so enjoy the pace of your videos, Morten. Just delightful. I feel like I'm there.
