Love my new Z8. Same great sensor as the Z9 but lighter and able to use the batteries from my D series cameras?as well as the pile of SD cards that I have.

Love this camera. I went from a D500 to the Z8. The difference in quality and range is amazing, night and day. Not heavy, smooth transition if you are coming from another Nikon camera. Great in low light and excellent if you're using it for wildlife and night photography. I highly recommend this camera.

My favorite Nikon yet! What a machine, it offers great flexibility at a great price for what it can do. This is the camera that got me excited about Nikon again and I bought it as soon as it came out. As a hybrid shooter this has opened new possibilities to my work, from shooting 8k to advanced zoom and internal recording at various formats this is the camera that will take you to the next place. Big enough to feel great in your hands while also having controls and the ability to customize them at your liking. I now made this into my A cam and my z6iii into my B cam. I also love the fact that it has a sensor curtain, when going to remote locations where the elements can get into you sensor this is crucial! I got a chance to travel to Antartica in 2021 with my z7 and z6 and got my sensors dirty... huge bummer to see so many great pictures ruined because of debris and no good way to do a proper cleaning. Lesson learned and I feature alone would have prevented that problem.

I loved the first Z8 that I bought a 2nd one for my business. The quality of pictures and videos from this are amazing. Came from Z6 and Z6ii, which were good, but wow the Z8 is phenomenal!

I really like this camera and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a professional level camera. Good weight and good ergonomics. It is a little bit bigger than my Z7ii, but that is not an issue at all.

I have had the Z9 for awhile now. The camera is amazing. But the large size does sometime get in the way. I spend a lot of time on a kayak with my camera in a deck bag. The Z9 seems to be a smaller size. Auto focus is fantastic And much smaller size I see nothing except positive things with the Z*

Absolutely incredible!!! Will be selling my D5500 system, but keeping my D750 as a second camera . I have been a professional in the past and have been shooting for 60 yrs. - this camera changes every thing.

Magnificent, wonderful and well-equipped is just a few of the things I can say about this camera. Since moving over to the Z-system from Sony I have found that the autofocus and ISO have been years beyond Sony. This camera does not disappoint, and the FPS (frames per second) is a definite upgrade from Sony.

Wow! This is a great camera with lots and lots of features. I'm learning more about it every day.

Coming from a z7ii the z8 is phenomenal. While the z7 ii is no slouch the Z8 is faster to autofocus and can af in lower light which is amazing as the z7ii did a fantastic job. The image quality is virtually the same. For static images the z7ii and z8 are neck and neck. Add pixel shift shooting and all I can say is Wow!! For fast moving action and for when you must get that shot then the z8 is great. Still learning its features. For those concerned I'm keeping the Z7ii, not as backup but to supplement the z8

Nikon has again knocked it out of the park. The true successor to the D850. It's bigger and heavier than the Z7 but much more capable and easier to use coming from the D850. I love the button arrangement on the top left, the lighted buttons, and the sensor shield. Having a LCD screen that can flip out both horizontally and vertically is a big improvement.

A great camera, I got used to the parameters quickly, this camera deserves the best place among other brands and among Nikon, for its price, it has no similar cameras

I just upgraded my D700 to the Z8! So far I love it, but I have not had time to configure it properly YET! Sooo much to learn! I am very excited to learn all about it and getting out and shooting some awesome photos... I'll post another review after I get acquainted with it. Have a great day!

I switched from Canon mirrorless and can say that this camera has met or exceeded all my expectations. The was a slight learning curve for the focusing system but after a few days of shooting with the Z8 my photos are great.

2024-03-17T15:59:33
Coming from the d850 I loved so much, the z8 takes just a little getting used to and learning the new focusing system I had trouble using my sigma 60-600. I found myself manually focusing a lot! I did figure out what I was doing a little more every time But when my z180-600 came in! It was like heaven! I got amazing shots of birds coming straight at me which I could never do very well with my other cameras?. I love the combo! And the camera has so much more to offer which I'm learning everyday.

The Nikon Z8 is a stunning replacement for my D850--considered to be the best DSLR ever. The Z8 is a smaller, lighter camera that has a comprehensive list of improvements over any of the previous Nikon cameras I have owned. Other than a change in the memory cards it uses and the removal of the battery grip, the Z8 is a smaller Z9. Autofocus is just amazing, especially with firmware 2.0 installed. Live view is vastly improved over my D850, too. I could go on and on, but the combination of the Z8 and the Nikkor Z 24-120 f4 S lens helps me make sharper, more detailed photos and videos that still have that Nikon color rendition. Be prepared, though; the original EN-EL15 battery isn't compatible; only the EN-EL15a, EN-EL15b and the current EN-EL15c batteries will power the Z8.

I've owned the Z50, Z6, Z7, Z7II and I still have a ZFc. I've just purchased the Z8 and I'm very pleased with it's quality, speed and effortless ability to take photos and video. It brings out the best in my Nikon lenses and the broad ISO range and excellent VR allow me to handhold the camera at very slow shutter speeds. There's one thing I miss from my other cameras, and that is the dedicated lever to adjust the Modes during operation. I do like the return of the AF button on the front left of the camera - something I've missed since my D850 days. This camera is so capable and technically advanced, it can take the skill set of almost any photographer and make it better.

Very happy witt my choice! First time using the Nikon system and the Z8 is excellent. Love the build and heft, versatile auto focus and highly customizable.

This camera is amazing is soooo many ways just at you'd expect. If I had to come up with a complaint it would be the battery life. Make sure to have some spare battery, even if you're just a hobbyists.

Came from a D500 and a Z6II. As a nature and wildlife photographer, this body paired with the Z 180-600mm lens is a game changer. I've now got a Z9 packed into a smaller, more ergonomic camera called the Z8. The firmware 2.0 update was what I was waiting for the pull the trigger, with the bird eye detection and improved tracking. Got a great deal buying refurbished direct from Nikon.
DaveD

2024-03-12T15:47:41
Great AF for birds after the recent firmware update. AI bird detection in FW 2.0 works great. Great advancement since the Z50/Z7 series of cameras. Nice features and ergonomics.

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.??

Transitioned from the D850 to Z8, thought I would keep the 850 for a backup but after two weeks with the Z8 the 850 was not an option...it's like getting a new guitar that is amazing to play and all the other guitars are now just taking up space...the hardest adjustment to a mirrorless camera for me was not being able to compose a shot without turning on the camera...the battery life was a concern until talking to another pro who said he just turns off the camera between setups or as he cha...
