Q: QuestionIs Best Buy an authorized Nikon USA Dealer(3 answers)
A: AnswerDefinitely! HOWEVER, once you submit your order, the priority delivery option Nikon is offering to Nikon Professional Services (NPS) members is not available for Best Buy. Still not a dealbreaker for me since I wasn’t in a rush to get my camera. It took about 2 weeks (Oct. 20th - order date) for mine to be delivered.Answered by JCamp12
Asked by JMD
- A: AnswerZ9 has excellent AF. Built for pros, state of the art. If you own previous Nikon Mirrorless make sure you update firmware and know how to use AF properly.

Fantastic!!
This is my first mirrorless camera, but I have used Nikon gear since 1979. My current DSLR is D500 and D6 (wow DSLR camera). When I received my Z9 it was in firmware 2.0. Within 7 months Nikon has upgraded the firmware twice, now at 3.0. All upgrades have improved this exciting camera. Upon receipt of the Z9 from Best Buy in April, I set it up as I had my D6 camera. I used it that way for a couple weeks to learn and get accustomed to the camera. Z9 is an amazing camera! I've grown with it, now pretty much mastered the extensive (and growing with updates) menu.. So many advancements over the D6, stunning success. I use it with the older AF-G series lenses I own and have bought a couple Z lenses. Using the FZT-II the camera will accept older AF lenses and preform spot on. I am a photographer, and as of now have not made a video. I will learn video soon. Totally recommend this Z9 camera, 100%

Nikon Z9
Upgraded from D500 to Z9 - what a beast! It's definitely live up to it's hype for me. I only shoot wildlife and the auto focus and 20FPS are complete game changer that make my D500 seem really outdated. Overall I would say that if you own any other Z camera you would surely appreciate Z9 as it is just better in many many ways.

Nikon Z9 - Worth The Wait (and the HYPE!)
It’s probably the best Nikon camera I’ve ever used after being fortunate to own a couple of flagship cameras as a photojournalist. I’ve noticed a lot of keepers due to its remarkable autofocus accuracy and speed, especially in sports photography. The camera feels “lighter” compared to its Nikon D4-6 brothers, but retains its substantial feel in the hand. I ordered the camera on Oct. 20 with the help of some of the great folks at the Danvers branch in Massachusetts! Shoutout to Brandon and the others. I highly recommend Best Buy’s camera trade-in program to offset a portion of the price. I traded-in my Nikon D4s (actually for a good deal) for the Z9. You won’t be disappointed!
