Canon, Sony and Nikon all introduced new flagship mirrorless cameras in 2021: the Canon EOS R3, Sony a1, and Nikon Z9. We compare them across several critical areas of performance to see how they stack up.
Professional sports photographer Mark Pain has been using a Nikon Z9 for some time, inside some of the biggest venues in the UK. We caught up with him recently to get his opinion and insights into Nikon’s most important pro camera for at least a decade. The arrival of a full production sample of the Nikon Z9 at our Seattle offices just before Christmas last year coincided with a heavy snowfall and extended period of cold weather in the Pacific Northwest. Check out our initial samples. Brrr… After two rounds of voting, DPReview readers have decided on their favorite product (and runners-up) of 2021. Find out which cameras and lenses topped the list! A plane crash leaves the mirrorless flagships overexposed to the dynamic range of elements. Will Canon, Nikon & Sony come to their sensors and group together to weather the aberrations ahead, or will they cannibalize one another? Senior Editor Barnaby Britton is a fan of extreme low-light imaging – something that the Nikon Z9 makes easy. Click through to learn more about why the Z9 is his favorite camera of 2021.
