Doesn't say much about it not being able to shoot in the rain...Nikon and Canon still not mastered that?

From the sales pitch, er, review:
I feel like the luckiest boy in the world right now, sitting at my desk to write an article I've been looking forward to for weeks about a camera I'd been looking forward to for years. Luckier still because I actually have the camera. There's a shiny new Nikon Z9 sitting next to me right now, with a Z 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 VR S attached, just begging me to go out and shoot with it.
But I can't, because I have to write this article. Also because it's dumping with icy rain outside, and I'm all warm, and besides, my shoes still aren't dry from yesterday.

Being able to shoot in poor weather without a plastic bag taped to the camera is helpful. The only cameras I ever trusted with that were Olympus and Pentax.

It seems to be the reviewer who can't shoot in the rain. As for the
camera "A shielded sensor for rainy lens changes" ...

See, even when you read it, you didn't quite understand it. :-)

Use credit if you really have to have it.

I'm happy with my D3s, D700s and D750.
