Yeah I was listening to camera reviewers at the Nikon events the last two days that aren’t Nikon Ambassadors without one single critical thing to say... to the point they’re justifying why people shouldn’t even want two XQD cards. Everything is “perfect and better” than anything else on the market at any price despite others stating it’s a good camera with flaws. Also the idea that the f/1.8 are magically performing like f/1.4 without a larger sensor - yeah I don’t trust his opinions at all... especially when there’s clearly vignetting at the edges of the frame in many pictures (even with the larger mount that lets in more light). He started off saying the right things though and he may be honest in how he feels about the camera but nothing he raves about isn’t true of most other Mirrorless cameras.Go towards the end (“flicker reduction”)of this article:

Atleast, as far as stills, it seems to work.
Now I will say the 35mm looks like a winner of a lens and the IQ of the camera is very good but I’ve seen two reviews from three different sources (with direct video evidence) stating how the AF is good but doesn’t keep up with generation 3 Sony’s and are closer to the generation 2 Cameras.
I don’t doubt there are situations where it works but it’s not 100% on any camera. There are times on the A9 and XH1 where flicker isn’t an issue and there are times it is.
Don’t get me wrong - I wanted this camera to be better than it actually is because I wanted Nikon to ACTUALLY advance the market but this is exactly what I expected. Nikon people will declare it’s the second coming of the lord and talk about how great all the “redefined” Mirrorless features are that I’ve (and others) been enjoying for the last 3-10 years with cameras from Sony, Fuji, Leica, and Micro 4/3
