"The Z9 is the most DSLR-like mirrorless we've ever seen"

I hope so Wink

I definitely qualify for being part of that sceptic group of dinosaurs. Actually, the Z9 (and the general direction Nikon is going) changed my mind months ago already, when the first more detailed rumors of the Z9 surfaced.

I have since then sold most of my F-mount gear (except for the D850, for reviews, and the PC-E 85) and also finally managed to overcome that nostalgic Leica M addiction Wink Not mainly because of the Z9, but in a good part also due to the pandemic situation. Most of my gear would have collected dust during that time anyway, especially the events I like to shoot simply didn't happen. Also travelling, the main use case for the Leica, wasn't possible either.
I am now looking forward to building a new main system for my personal use around the Z9, yes.

I'm sure I'll still miss an OVF now and then. But on the other hand, already now I'm more and more getting used to the benefits of an EVF. When shooting samples with the D850 recently, it took me several minutes (and quite a few ruined shots) to realize I still had -2 EV exposure compensation dialed in from a backlight shot earlier that day. Wouldn't have happened that way with the Z7.

It all comes down to habituation in the end.

Yeah, I wish I remembered where I stored that coat, too...
