Z 8

Excellent so far. Only complaint is I wish that it would have been slightly smaller.I have added vertical grips to my D300, D500, D810 and Z7II.However, this thing is too huge to add a vertical grip to.I would have gone to the Z9 except I can't stomach $200 batteries, considering that i've got a dozen or so for my other cameras.

Simply amazing. This camera is so configurable, you can go from pro portrait, to fast moving wildlife bursts with 1 button. Love it.

I have been a Nikon user for over 50 years and I love them. That being said, I purchased a Z9 when it first came out and I wasn’t disappointed. The only issue I had with it was the weight, I’m not “young” anymore and it just became too much for me for extended shoots. I reluctantly sold it and purchased a Z8 and found it to be the perfect solution. I love the Nikon Z8 and I don’t feel like I sacrificed anything by going doing so, it is perfect! I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a professional camera without the extra weight. Thank you Nikon, the Z8 is perfect!

Amazed with how quickly it can autofocus. Tremendous amount of functionality that I’m anxious to learn more about how to best use. I enjoy taking wildlife pictures and the Pre-release Capture feature is a wonderful feature. I use the Z 8 frequently with the Nikkor 180-600 lens. Because of the weight of the lens I do find it somewhat difficult to use the buttons and controls on the left side of the camera when using this lens handheld.

I’m a bit of a photography gear junky. I have the z6ii and the z9 in addition to the z8. I want to upgrade the z6ii to the z6iii, because the z6ii has been one of my favorite cameras. But I’m here to talk about the z8, which I also enjoy quite a lot. I have muscular dystrophy, which affects my muscle strength. As much as I loved the z9, it was simply too heavy for me; I couldn’t hold it steady. The z6ii is lightweight and performs quite well. But my partner wanted to get more comfortable around the camera, so he claimed the z6ii, and I bought the z8. I was skeptical that its weight would be significantly lighter than the z9, so I went to Bergen County Camera and played with it, shot a few photos. It seemed a weight I could handle. I bought it a couple days before my partner and I were flying to Morocco. And I fell in love with it because while it’s heavier than the z6ii, it’s still manageable for me to carry with a chest harness and hold stable while shooting, and it’s essentially the z9, just lighter in weight. I love it. I now use the z9 for tripod use as only, so lots if portraiture.
