Z 8

Super Fast! I’ve been pleased with my first batch of images with the 200-500mm @ f5.6. (Wide open) I’ve been getting very sharp results with the FTZ II. Only drawback is that now I want to buy a bunch of Nikkor Z lenses. If you plan on shooting all day long on a consistent basis, you may want to get the Z9, instead. I like the size and weight of the Z8, so I can live with the smaller batteries. Overall, exactly what I wanted, thanks Nikon!

Moved from a Z7II and boy is it a world of difference. Performance is fantastic and autofocus the best yet.Very happy I purchased it.

I've been using my D850 since it was announced and it was the best Nikon camera I've ever owned (I started with an FTN many years ago). I thought it would be hard for Nikon to improve on it, but they have. The Z8 now takes that crown. Fast, a bit lighter/smaller than the D850 and yet still feels great in the hand (one of the things I love most about Nikon is the ergonomics - it just feels right!). And the files are gorgeous! What do I wish for? Better explanation of how to set up the camera - yes, I know it's new and there are plenty of 3rd party videos, books/tutorials out there (and it continues to grow) but the documentation could be a bit more comprehensive. But they're not alone in this regard. Have now switched entirely to mirrorless and loving it - and the Z lenses are better than the F mount. Nikon has done it again!

Excellent camera-a worthy `sibling' to the Z9 and successor to the Z72.. Great resolution and ease of use.A couple of suggestions:1. Restore the exposure delay Custom setting (yes, the self timer can be used instead but having the delay timer in the menu is a bit more straightforward)2. It would help if Nikon makes further efforts to provide information to vendors so that aftermarket equipment - such as the L bracket-became available at roughly the same time as the camera launch.Thank You!

All I would like to say is that my new Z8 is a wonderful camera!! I've had the D850 since it came out, but I will never use it again unless my Z8 breaks. I mostly shoot birds (all sizes & kinds), butterflies, and flowers for competitions in my camera club. The focusing is spectacular. It feels much better to hold with all my different F mount lenses. I've decided that my new Nikon100 - 400mm Zoom will be almost always on my Z8. I can't think of anything I don't like about it. The new focusing system seems to do a lot of the work for me.

I have purchased (and used daily) the Z6, and Z6ii. Recently I've upgraded to the Z8 and it is really a game changer. I shoot quite a bit of video and the newest features are just incredible. The ability to shoot N-RAW in N-log allow me to shoot without an external monitor which makes my "run-and-gun" rig much lighter and versatile. I have also purchased the extended handgrip and love the fact that I've extended my battery life.

I have the Z6 and Z7ii and was happy with their performance in most situations. First time out with the Z8 and I was blown away with its performance. The 3D tracks very well and stuck tight to a duck even when other objects passed in front..

Nikon has delivered a new product that exceeds my expectations. It’s my go-to camera!

I have used my D850 for several years and have loved the camera. In fact, I was somewhat reluctant to change because II wasn't sure Nikon would be able to top that camera. In short, it has! The auto focus is a great enhancement. I do wildlife photography and have already found I have a much better "keep" rate. I also appreciate the lighter weight of the camera and lenses when in the field. I love the camera!
