Nikon Z9 – Bravo Nikon!

The Nikon Z9 is one of those rare cameras that I bought right at launch, so I’ve been using it for years now.  Today Nikon released yet another firmware update and, needless to say, I am really excited about it.

Every year it seems that there is some major upgrade to Z9’s already mature firmware, giving us essentially a brand new camera with respect to its functionality.  I hadn’t expected another update so far along the product cycle, but voila! Nikon has given us an early Christmas present.

(For those keeping score, the only other two cameras I’ve ever, ahem, “clicked with” and kept for years were the Nikon D3 and the Leica M9.)

R and I put up and decorated the Christmas Tree today.

The kids are away at school for a few more weeks.  Decorating the tree was something I used to photograph, with all of them contributing, but this year I was an active participant.

Speaking of this year, this is our first without our little silent partner, Honey 😢 She used to sleep on that corner of the carpet.
