Z 8

Amazing camera, so versatile over a huge range of settings. Many can be changed quickly on the fly, or preset for immediate use. Clear, quiet. Solid and light. I truly love using it. My only sad point is my D850 is going to sit on the shelf a lot more.

This is my first "pro" camera and I am loving it. The focus is fast and accurate and the files are beautifully detailed. I advise taking it slow with the customization, it's hard to remember what's what in the field with so many choices. Set a few, learn them completely, then change some others to meet needs you have discovered while using the camera. Great Gear!

Great camera. Went from a Nikon 810 to the Z8. Quality, speed, and features are far superior. I'm even using my SB-900 flashes without a problem. If I had to make a comment, I am not happy my old version 5.7 of Lightroom cannot open the Raw NEF files. I suppose I now will have to subscribe to the new version of Lightroom.

My relationship with Nikon has a long history, in the 70’s I got my first 35mm camera, it was a F3 and it was a work horse, so good that I got my second camera in 1990 a N8008, which I still have, It gave to me so many satisfactions, that I refused to go digital, until the D300 came out. As time passed, came the full frame and Nikon really got me, the D700 still at its prime, made me forget the film era, years later I got the D800E and later the D810.Again I refuse for years to go into the mirrorless systems, my pictures are so good from the SLR that I didn’t want anything with the new cameras. But Nikon always has a way to take my money. The Zf came into the market and my old F3 came into my dreams, I got it and my mind changed, the mirrorless systems are far superior than the SLRs, with the images from the Zf during one year, I went into the Z8, so far it’s a wonderful camera, 5 Stars. Still I’m studying and seeing all its features and capabilities, but my opinion is the best of the best. Of course until the Zf r comes to life.Thanks Nikon for this long friendship!

In one word, PHENOMONAL! Wish I hadn't waited so long to get one!

I am the owner of two z9s and had a z7ii which I traded up for the z8. Wow! It is the mini me of the z9. I wanted a great camera that was smaller than the z9 as a carry around. I was amazed as I love the size, set it up with the same features as the z9. The only drawback is the smaller battery/life. I would highly recommend it as a VERY close sibling to the z9.

I'm still learning all of the various functions, but so far the camera is amazing. The bird and animal eye auto focus functions are incredible, and work amazingly well even with my old 200-500 and the FTZ adapter. I can't wait to get some Z lenses to use with the camera.

If you’re a Nikon Gal or Guy don’t think twice. Only one thing. I was trained to use one lens and carrier light and not a flash. It would have been nice to have a built in for Fill. I know many would disagree, but if you’re lake most photog’s you have a bag and a flash…. Just not me. Ciao!

My first Nikon was an F4 (moving from a Canon A-1). I thought the F4 was perfect. Then VR lenses came along and I got an F5 and thought, okay, now THIS camera is perfect.I resisted digital for a long time, thinking that ‘real’ photographers shoot film. Eventually I broke down and purchased a D750. A year later I traded up to D780. Now thoroughly converted to digital, I picked up a D850. I thought the D850 perfect and could not be improved upon (and in the world of DSLRs it really has not been) but then came mirrorless. I eventually picked up Z7II, and was impressed with its capabilities but found it a little too small for me to handle comfortably. So a few weeks ago, I traded in my D780 and my Z7II for a Z8.Well,now I have another Nikon that I think is perfect, but I’m sure Nikon will find some way to prove me wrong!
