Bought the Z8 to upgrade from my Z7. Love the focus system and degree of customization. It is a great landscape and birding camera. This camera does it all.

I love this camera! I got my mirrorless training wheels with the Z50, graduated to the Z6II and fell in love with the Z8. The 6II drove me crazy with its focusing capabilities (or lack thereof). The 8 allows me to capture birds that that would have been long gone while I was still trying to focus with the 6II. I think I have my perfect kit: Z8 with the 180-600 and 2X converter, and the 24-120 lens. My only regret is I will not live long enough to learn and take advantage of all the bells and whistles. I still have my Z50. It’s a little gem when it comes to shooting mushrooms.?

Came from Fujifilm XH2S, needed more megapixels and so far I'm enjoying the Z8. The camera is fast, great autofocus with fantastic video specs and great skin tone rendering in photos.

Solid camera, great AF. I received my Z8 on a Friday afternoon and opened the box Saturday morning before leaving to cover five district basketball tournaments that day. I took it with me expecting to try it out maybe one period per game. After the first period, I had everything tweaked and dialed in so I just kept using it for everything. Ended up shooting 16,000 frames with it that day. The AF is fantastic.

Own the Z 7II and have really enjoyed using it. But, after reading reviews and studying the specs of the Z8, decided to add it to my collection. It is truly amazing. Thought the battery duration might be an issue, it hasn't been an issue at all. Can't wait to use the Z8 on my 180-600 this spring to I head for central Nebraska to photograph the Sandhill cranes!!

Nikon has always had some of the best sensors in their cameras, from the D3, D4, D850 etc. the Z8 is no exception. Everything that kept me away from coming back to Nikon after my D850 is fixed and actually better than. I could have asked for. The only thing this camera isn’t “perfect” at, is battery life. If you are on the fence about this camera, just jump. It’s amazing. Glad to be back with Nikon!
