Nikon Z8 review – striking the right note

 

Z9 power in a smaller body

Same cutting-edge stacked sensor as Z9 ; Body design makes more sense than Z9 for most people ; Excellent video features

Limited battery life ; Lower-resolution EVF than rivals ; In-body image stabilization is only okay

Nikon has heralded the Z8 as the natural successor to the Nikon D850 – a DSLR that’s proved hugely popular with enthusiast photographers since its launch in 2017 – and it’s a fitting accolade. The Z8 is the Nikon camera that makes the most sense for...

Nikon Z8 review: Brilliant at everything

 

A mirrorless D850 successor or a baby Z9? Whatever the case may be, it's an impressive camera.

47.5MP stacked sensor ; 20 fps burst shooting in RAW ; Up to 8K60 / 4K120 video recording ; Internal ProRes and N RAW

Awful artificial shutter sound ; Tilting screen is not ideal for video

The Nikon Z8 offers both speed and resolution whether we're talking photography or video. It can do pretty much everything Nikon's flagship Z9 can do, but in a more compact body and at a much better price.

Nikon Z8 Review: Succeeding D850 With Z9 Performance At A Lower Price - SlashGear

 

The Nikon Z8 has arrived at long last, ready to take the place of the D850 DSLR by bringing Nikon Z9 performance with a much smaller price tag.

Excellent image quality ; Professional grade video features ; Continuous shooting speeds up to 120fps ; Fast, intelligent autofocus ; Robust build quality ; Large, flexible display ; Separate USB ports for power delivery and data.

It may be a bargain, but it’s also very expensive ; No built-in GPS

Nikon Z8 review: The do-it-all mirrorless camera

 

The Nikon Z8 is a high-end full-frame mirrorless camera with a 45.7MP sensor and similar processor to the Z9. It offers subject recognition AF, 3D tracking, synchro VR, and can shoot up to 20 fps with Raw and 30fps full-sized JPEG. It has ProRes 422...

Same sensor as the rather pricey Z9. ; A smaller body makes handling easier. ; Intelligent photography and videography features

Short battery life
