During that time, I conducted something of a stress test on the camera\u2026and me. I walked into a swing dance club in Manhattan, sight unseen, with a band I did not know and talent I had never laid eyes on. The venue was very dark with low ceilings. It had a mirror ball and a couple of gelled spotlights. The music was great and the dancers were lively so, as always on location, let\u2019s have at it!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94398\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94398\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0689.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Joe McNally using the Nikon Z 8 Camera\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0689.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0689-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0689-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Joe McNally using the Nikon Z8 Camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I partnered the Nikon Z8 initially with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkz5012.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIKKOR 50mm f\/1.2 lens<\/a>, selected some familiar menu options, and told the marvelous lead singer\/band leader Matthew Piazzi to let fly with some tunes. Swing being the art form it is, the dancers started to twirl and I got my eye into the camera.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94399\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94399\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0685.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Joe McNally using the Nikon Z 8 Camera\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0685.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0685-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0685-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94399\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Joe McNally using the Nikon Z8 Camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Key Features of the Nikon Z8 Camera<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are a couple of very notable features about the camera that stood out immediately (and you can learn more about them in the <a href=\"#nikon-z8-live-qa\">live stream walkthough<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Auto Focus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s the same deal as the Nikon Z9 \u2014 absolutely nimble, accurate, responsive AF, even in a dim, contrast-less environment. I tried a couple of modes on the Nikon Z8 and then settled in on a wide area with eye recognition. Because I was keeping the dancers in the middle of the frame, I customized my wide area AF to be more of a box shape that conformed well to their gestures and activity. At one point, I also used an older lens \u2014 my venerable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nk2002u.html\">200mm f\/2<\/a> \u2014 and mounted it to the Z8 via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkzmaftzm2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTZ adapter<\/a>. I experienced no loss of function and no uncertainty of focus. In simple words, it bloody well works.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Grip<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I might be going on about this, but the solid way you can grip this camera is excellent news. I love the lightness and small form factor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkz6m2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nikon Z6 II<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkz7m2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Z7 II,<\/a> which are marvelous bundles of technology in small packages. Although, I\u2019ve always been predisposed to favor a professional level of ruggedness. The Nikon Z8 camera strikes a beautiful balance among the virtues of durability and weather sealing, super advanced tech, and the ability to walk with it on your shoulder all day long.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94408\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94408\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/LXW0301.jpg\" alt=\"Photo taken by Fahad Jafarullah of Adorama.

Joe McNally shooting with the Nikon Z8 Camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>More good news: A power grip will debut at the same time as the camera, which will afford a vertical shutter and tandem battery arrangement that will keep you powered in the field for extended periods of time. If you are in the crowd that really needs a good grip \u2014 say for a 400mm at the sidelines of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/soccer-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">soccer game<\/a> \u2014 this camera fits the bill.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Camera <\/strong><strong>Evolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When was the last time you used an ethernet port? It\u2019s been a while for me, such as at the Olympics where I might have needed to plug into the ethernet system at track and field so that my editor, at a console miles away from the venue, sees what I am shooting immediately. The ethernet port has its role, to be sure. Although, in its place are two potentially more useful USB-C ports \u2014 basically input-output. You can power the camera through one of the ports and download data from the other. This is very economical when it comes to workflow.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94401\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94401\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1FJ2871.jpg\" alt=\"Photo taken by Fahad Jafarullah of Adorama.

If anyone harks back to the time of the Nikon D5 (which was a complete flagship style of a camera) you will recall that Nikon followed on with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/inkd850.html\">D850<\/a>, which took the camera marketplace by storm. Until I shot the Z8 and Z9, the D850 was the most impressive camera I had ever used. It supplied a wonderful blend of speed and resolution. It was a versatile beast of a camera that was equally adept in the field and in the studio. The Z8 is destined to occupy that same sweet spot where so much still and video prowess is offered at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<table width=\"98%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkz8.html\">Nikon Z8<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkz9.html\">Nikon Z9<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nkz7m2.html\">Nikon Z7 II<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/inkd850.html\">Nikon D850<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>MSRP<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\">$3,996.95<\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\">$5,496.95<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">$2,596.95<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">$2,496.95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Sensor Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\">45.7MP stacked CMOS<\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\">45.7MP stacked CMOS<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">45.7MP BSI CMOS<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">45.7MP BSI CMOS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Video Resolution<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\">8K\/60p and 4K\/120p<\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\">8K\/30p<br \/>\n4K\/120p<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">4K\/60p with slight crop<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">4K\/30p<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Burst rate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\">20 fps Raw<br \/>\n30fps JPEG<\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\">20 fps Raw<br \/>\n30fps JPEG<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">10 fps<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">7 fps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Screen<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\">3.2&#8243;, 2.1M-dot two-way tilting touchscreen<\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\">3.2&#8243;, 2.1M-dot two-way tilting touchscreen<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">3.2&#8243;, 2.1M-dot tilting touchscreen<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">3.2&#8243; 2.36M-dot tilting touchscreen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Card slots<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\">SD and SDHC and SDXC \/<br \/>\nCFexpress Type B<br \/>\nXQD<\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\">2x CFe Type B \/ XQD<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">1 CFe Type B\/XQD, 1 UHS II SD<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">CFexpress Type B \/ XQD and SD\/SDHC\/SDXC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20%\"><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"22%\">5.67 x 4.69 x 3.27\u2033<\/td>\n<td width=\"19%\">5.9 x 5.9 x 3.6\u201d<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">5.3 x 4.0 x 2.8\u201d<\/td>\n<td width=\"18%\">5.8\u00a0x 4.9 x 3.1\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>Nikon Z8 vs Nikon Z9<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On a commercial job where you must extend on the road, you need multiple cameras as a primary backup and a secondary backup.

It incorporates the same sensor\/processor tandem, the same AF performance, and pro level durability.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_94406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94406\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-94406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0821.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Joe McNally using the Nikon Z 8 Camera\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0821.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0821-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0821-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC0821-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-94406\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Joe McNally using the Nikon Z8 Camera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The quickness and certainty of tech in this camera make it perfect for photographers shooting weddings, senior portraits, pets, families, high school sports, you name it.
