Nikon z7 ii vs nikon z9?

Both cameras share the same 45.7-megapixel full frame sensor and in-body stabilisation, so resolution and image quality aren't the difference. The Z7 II was announced in 2020 and the Z9 in 2021. The Z9 brings a stacked sensor, which the Nikon Z8 page describes as coming from the Z9.

For most people, I'd pick the Nikon Z7 II. You get the same resolution for less outlay, and it's the better choice for landscapes, portraits and general shooting. If you shoot fast action and need the Z9's extra speed, go for the Nikon Z9.

Either body takes the same lenses. Good starting points are the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, the Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S II, and the Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S.
