The Z9 is Nikon's integrated-grip flagship (2021), kept current via major firmware updates. A Z9 II is rumored but most reports say it will not arrive in 2026, so it remains the current flagship.
What to do now: Buy if you need an integrated-grip pro body now. If you can wait, watch for Z9 II news; also compare the smaller, cheaper Z8 which shares most capability.
This is still well above better recent buying opportunities, and waiting could help.

Most Type B bodies (Z8/Z9, R5, R6 III) pair this with a second SD UHS-II slot — a V90 SD card makes a cheaper backup.
