Nikon Z9 Mirrorless Camera Joins NASA in Space Mission
NASA has begun using mirrorless International Space Station (ISS) cameras. It marks a significant shift from the traditional digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras they've relied on for years. The new camera of choice is the Nikon Z9, a high-end mirrorless camera known for its excellent image quality, low-light performance, and fast autofocus.
For many years, Nikon cameras have been trusted companions for astronauts, capturing amazing images of Earth and space.

They're expected to replace the Nikon D5 DSLRs that have been in use since 2017.
