I've been an amature photographer for decades. I went mirrorless when the Z6 was introduced, then to the Z7II. The Z8 will hopefully be my last camera. I do mostly nature and landscapes but I've started to pal around with wildlife shooters and the bug bit to do more of that. This camera has exactly what I was looking for to shoot wildlife AND still trek around the countyside shooting nature. I'm still refining my settings but getting close to have those locked down. It is a sturdy workhorse of a camera with a professional feel.

Z8 is a fast, reliable and has a smart autofocus making the cration of photo of a action or a large panorama easy, supports excelent the old F mount with adapter and the smart placement of the iso button compared to the D800 series give a fast vay to be in manual mode and change iso as you want to see the final photo in the camera and love the fast posiblity to take action of people and animals, where the focus follow in a great way.

The Mirrorless I have been waiting for. I have owned a number of Nikon film cameras and several Digital ones as well. I have kept up to date on new releases and read many reviews. Still not being convinced that Mirrorless was the way that I wanted to go. I visited my favorite local retailer and took a look at the Z8. All I can say is that I could not put it down. i purchased it on the spot. And am very happy that I did.

Very happy with this camera. I also have a Z9 and and this camera shoots just as well (birds and nature, mostly what i do). Wish it had the bird detect of the Z9, but not a deal killer. Lighter weight is a big plus.

As a professional photographer for 20 years. I've owned each generation of Nikon gear, from film days to digital. Along the way, Nikon's cameras and lenses have been first rate, not only in technical specifications, but in ergonomics. The Z9 and Z8 are my main cameras. The auto focus, picture quality, and ergonomics are perfection. When you add the incredible quality of Z lenses, it just doesn't get any better. The Z8 pretty much gives you a Z9, but at a fantastic price. The lighter weight is another plus. Either camera wins as "the best" available!

My first professional camera, coming from a Z6 II. Just needed to take my time with the set up. Still tweaking the settings. Currently using for shooting sports. Enjoying the camera. Have not used it for video as of yet.

My first professional camera but I am Amazed with all the functionality it have, speed, quality, technology behind this camera is top of the line.

The Z8, what can I say? Simply, no Lag, No Rolling Shutter, the Fastest, the most accurate, and probably the soon to be, best autofocusing system available. My journey through 35 years with nikon has led me to the Best Camera Ever. The Z8, Thank you

Great Camera. Nikon outdid themselves with this Camera. Just the right size and weight. I have a D850 that I have used for years that I loved . One of the best cameras ever made. This Camera is a mirrorless version of the D 850. Still getting used to the mirrorless functions of the Camera. Love how the viewfinder lights up and all the adjustments you make on the camera show up in the picture on the Viewfinder. I can see all my settings in the viewfinder including a histogram. I have a Z 9 that I purchased before the z-8 came out. I thought it was a little big and heavy. Purchased the z 8 . As soon as I got it I knew it was the perfect camera. Does everything the z 9 can but in a smaller lighter body. Some people complain about the battery being smaller than the z 9. I find its no problem just carrying and extra battery. The z 9 has the larger battery but it can be bulky. I mostly shoot birds and wildlife. Love the z8 .
