Any camera with a metal chassis would work in space, who cares. Even the Hasselblads worked as is, they were only modified for ergonomics and weight.

The Z9 and Z8 had multiple recalls and jared polin went out of his way to show that they have worse autofocus than the canon r8 of all cameras and worse IQ than most other cameras until ISO 400.

Like I just wouldnt fucking buy one. Not because I need more but because I need exactly as much but wont be paying $3k+ for a piss poor implementation of what I need. That is a lot of fucking money for the exact same autofocus as a cheaper canon or worse IQ than everything else because nikon is retarded. Even a sony is a better choice than a nikon. Their manufacturing quality is also ass. Top screens fail early, EVFs come canted or work loose, rubber swells and peels off… made in thailand QUARITY

I once A:Bd a nikon Zf and sony a7c OG (not the a7cii). The a7c had better autofocus and was only one stop behind in stabilization. I disregarded both and bought a canon because both struggled with white balance in the camera store.

Space snaps arent super demanding for quality or crutches (they used entombed hasselblads last time) but they definitely had to have japanese staff, not nikons usual thai ladyboy slaves, go through and rebuild these cameras for the rigors of the mission.

They’re improving but they basically admitted how bad they sucked.

17x more accurate and 3.5x faster but:
This lens performs EXACTLY like its contemporaries from sony and canon.
And its predecessor performed exactly like every other Z lens!
Meaning nikons first wave of AF lenses are on average absolute junk and they indirectly admitted it

It may be that the body tech wasnt as bad as everyone thought and nikon actually failed at something so basic canon mastered it in 2006.

Creationism is descended from humans and humans only being bioengineered by aliens larping as gods. Life in general did evolve. Just not us. We were created and recreated following engineered cataclysms, as part of an attempt to recreate a prior species that lived on mars and died out in an interplanetary nuclear war between the martians and the original mollusc-like civilization on earth (they used primarily organic technology and were wiped out by a genetic contagion that devolved them after they built nukes on the moon and launched them at mars). They have since been succeeded by saurans and humans.

It’s mostly a marketing stunt. They go for the lowest bid and hand pick and modify some units because the brand perception gains and sales boosts are worth more than however little money they lose providing a small space program with cameras and tech support.

>Radiation (such as X-rays, gamma rays, or cosmic rays) exposes photographic film similarly to light, causing it to darken, fog, and lose contrast. It acts on silver halide crystals, creating a latent image that appears as graininess, streaks, or a washed-out, ruined image when developed, appearing as "background noise" or total blackness

You only shoot RAW so getting highlights correct isn't important. You wouldn't use a RAW editor that can't show you clipping before export, while saying it's a "skill issue" to want clipping warnings in-camera.

Dynamic range

>>4504036
They have Hubble, James Webb, LRO, and plenty of other resources for actual research. The Z9 photos should be better but the real compromise is the 80-400, not having some kind of mount, and the windows. For photography purposes, the kit they brought was pretty mediocre. Hopefully they have something better for Artemis IV.

>>4504020
Official reason? Dynamic range. It's admittedly plausible. Real reason? It's done in a soundstage and they don't put stars in the dark background because there's so many in space they couldn't possibly get them all right simultaneously and some autist with a telescope could possibly deboonk them. The dynamic range explanation would be technically correct if it were an actual celestial body so there's plausible deniability thanks to that.

it isn't you newfag. Soviets did it in the 1950s and 60s with Luna and Zond, the US did it on several missions in the 60s on medium format film and prime lenses without the compromises using a zoom lens through capsule windows. There's LRO and other imagery from other agencies. They probably got plenty of snapshits with their iPhones as well which I think would be cooler since video would give a more immersive view of how close they were. When SpaceX takes over, imaging quality will probably be way better since they will have a lot more room.
