I just upgraded my D700 to the Z8! So far I love it, but I have not had time to configure it properly YET! Sooo much to learn! I am very excited to learn all about it and getting out and shooting some awesome photos... I'll post another review after I get acquainted with it. Have a great day!

I switched from Canon mirrorless and can say that this camera has met or exceeded all my expectations. The was a slight learning curve for the focusing system but after a few days of shooting with the Z8 my photos are great.

The Nikon Z8 is a stunning replacement for my D850--considered to be the best DSLR ever. The Z8 is a smaller, lighter camera that has a comprehensive list of improvements over any of the previous Nikon cameras I have owned. Other than a change in the memory cards it uses and the removal of the battery grip, the Z8 is a smaller Z9. Autofocus is just amazing, especially with firmware 2.0 installed. Live view is vastly improved over my D850, too. I could go on and on, but the combination of the Z8 and the Nikkor Z 24-120 f4 S lens helps me make sharper, more detailed photos and videos that still have that Nikon color rendition. Be prepared, though; the original EN-EL15 battery isn't compatible; only the EN-EL15a, EN-EL15b and the current EN-EL15c batteries will power the Z8.

Coming from the d850 I loved so much, the z8 takes just a little getting used to and learning the new focusing system I had trouble using my sigma 60-600. I found myself manually focusing a lot! I did figure out what I was doing a little more every time But when my z180-600 came in! It was like heaven! I got amazing shots of birds coming straight at me which I could never do very well with my other cameras…. I love the combo! And the camera has so much more to offer which I’m learning everyday.

I've owned the Z50, Z6, Z7, Z7II and I still have a ZFc. I've just purchased the Z8 and I'm very pleased with it's quality, speed and effortless ability to take photos and video.It brings out the best in my Nikon lenses and the broad ISO range and excellent VR allow me to handhold the camera at very slow shutter speeds.There's one thing I miss from my other cameras, and that is the dedicated lever to adjust the Modes during operation. I do like the return of the AF button on the front left of the camera - something I've missed since my D850 days. This camera is so capable and technically advanced, it can take the skill set of almost any photographer and make it better.
