Z 8

After owning several Nikon film and mirrored DSLR cameras in the past, I decided to finally move to mirrorless and purchase the Z8.Althought I've owned my Z8 for only about a month I'm totalled awed and impressed with it's design and capabilities. As I get to know the Z8 more I have no doubt that it will cement itself as an outstanding camera!

Love the Z8. Auto focus and tracking is super…hope the next software upgrade offers the ability to shoot smaller in raw… don’t need 45mp when bursting. As others have noted, a smaller grip would be awesome.

The camera is the best yet. Only, it would be great to have a more detailed book with it.

I got my first Nikon, an F, in 1962. Since then, I've owned 14 other Nikon SLRs, Fs, Ns and Ds. The cameras have always been of the highest quality and dependability. I loved seeing exactly what was included in the photo I was taking.I have reached that time in my life that I ain't no spring chicken. In the last five years, my D850 and lenses seemed to have gained weight. So I packed up my "D" cameras and lenses, traded them in, and bought a Z8, and two Nikkor zooms, the 28-400 and the14-30. I've only had the new equipment about two weeks, but two features of the "Z" equipment have become apparent.First, the lenses are smaller, lighter and cost less than "D" lenses. I'm guessing that has to do with the fact that image stabilization is done in the Z8 camera instead of the lens.Second, while the SLRs and DSLRs show exactly what physical features are included in the photo, the Z camera also previews the exposure. In other words, one can visually adjust the exposure while composing the shot. To me, that is a giant improvement over previous cameras.I'm delighted with my Z8 equipment.

I love my Z8, before I had the D750 and I was happy with that body, but since I went to Z everything is much better, with its autofocus and so on, and its spectacular electronic viewfinder there is no brand like this one.
