Z 8

This camera is the Ferrari of cameras. As a non professional it’s a lot of camera. But it’s intuitive, comfortable and gives me a chance to take my skills up several notches,

First time Nikon user I love the ergonomics, feel great , and all the same features of the flagship Z9 at lower price, what else you can ask for.

Loving my new Z 8! I upgraded from the D800, which I loved and that I produced some amazing images with. I was hesitant to make the leap as I was already happy with what I had, but then I on a whelm, I made the jump. I highly recommend upgrading to mirrorless for anyone that's thinking about making the jump. Just can't beat the quality of these new Z-mount lens especially the S lineup. Oh my I'm in heaven! Only thing that I have a slight disappointment with is the battery life. However, I've mitigated that by picking up an extra battery. I'm so very satisfied with my purchase.

This is a game changer. I have gone from a D80 to a Z7 and now have the Z8. There is a bit of a learning curve to understand the various settings and tools available. However, the functionality and the ability to customize is outstanding. It is quick, rather light and perfect for how I use a camera. The only complaint so far is the battery life. I'll be adding a battery grip.

I love my D500 and waited for Nikon to release a proper replacement for it. In my opinion, the Z50 II falls short (as a primary or only) due to lacking a backup card slot. Once in a life time trips can’t be risked to card failure. I read hundreds of opinions, all the forums and reviews. Price point of the Z8 was higher than I wanted to go but I wanted to take advantage of the subject detection and silent shooting of mirrorless. So I decided to save and wait. When I found a refurb Z8 with the deal I wanted I grabbed it. I have to say, it was a big buy for me but I’m very happy with it. It gives me my D500 (DX mode) and all the plusses of full frame. Plus it has the backup card slot. In my opinion, it was the right move for me. Lots of pros out there to help guide you through setting up if you need it (I did). In just a month I feel like I’ve already made a smooth transition. I’m not a professional photographer, but I do believe the technology helps even the intermediate photographer become less frustrated therefore better. My 2 cents

As a longtime Nikon pro who moved from the D850 to the Z system, the Nikon Z8 is the camera I’ve been waiting for. It is the perfect marriage of DSLR ruggedness and cutting-edge mirrorless speed, completely erasing any thought of switching brands.My dual Z8 setup is a game-changer: one dedicated to lightning-fast stills and the other handling high-resolution video. The stacked sensor and Z9-level autofocus have revolutionized my keeper rate for photography.For video, the internal RAW recording and image quality are superb. However, hybrid shooters must be prepared: the Z8’s power demands top-tier accessories.Pro Tips for Maximum Video Performance:Card Upgrade is Mandatory: You must use the fastest CFexpress Type B cards (VPG400+ recommended) for high-resolution, high-frame-rate video. Slower cards will throttle recording and generate heat.Overheating is Manageable: While the compact body can run hot during extended 8K or 4K/120p shoots, this is easily managed. Simply enable the High Temperature setting and use external USB-C power or a metal camera cage to help dissipate heat. Opening the screen/card door during short breaks also helps immensely.The Z8 is a massive leap forward, offering performance that completely justifies the upgrade from the D850 and Z7II.

Le doy 5 por que me sorprendio, menejo las reflex desde hace 20 años y mi primmera nikon fue la D70´s la ultima fue y es la D810, estaba en la duda por varias razones, pero al indagar la compre, no fue para nada deccepcionante, lo unico es que no utiliza en fiestas nocturnas la luz roja del los Flash SB, deberia ser una opcion, por que la luz verde enfoque no alcanza y con ciertos lentes de diametro grandes no llegan a iluminar, una lastima y algo para corregir, el resto, tremenda y el menu muy completo, complicado pero acertado.

I upgraded to the Z8 from the Z7. I am so glad I upgraded to the Z8. The autofocus system has been greatly improved since I bought the Z7. I take a lot of surfing photos and I could see a clear difference using the Z8. The Z8 does a great job locking in on the surfer providing more in focus photos. What I wish the Z8 had were user settings. That is you could have settings set up for certain types of photography. I have tried to use the new user banks but I haven't got the swing of using the custom user banks. I have even watched 3 or 4 videos on how to set them up. But that is somewhat minor in the overall performance of the Z8. Overall I love the Z8. It feels good to hold with its nicely designed grip and has a good weight. I also love the lighted buttons on the back. I went to take Milky Way photos one night and the lighted buttons came in handy. I have been a Nikon user for 20 years and have been very happy with all my previous Nikon cameras. The Z8 is one incredible camera. You won't be disappointed if you buy one.

Having shot Nikon since the1990’s I have witnessed them grow through many different stages, I can honestly say that this is one of the finest cameras that I’ve ever owned with plenty of capabilities to tackle just about anything I personally do!I look forward to many years of enjoyment from this camera and all the other previous Nikons that I still own.
