Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera with NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S Lens

2026-07-01T13:36:38

I'm really glad I went with the Z8 over the Z6III. The electronic shutter, I think, will make me happier long term. I am having an issue with it where, in bracketed shots, it sometimes replaces one of the shots with a shot from the previous bracket. Not great. I'm working with Nikon and they are researching the issue; a few others have reported it, too. This is easy to check for by reviewing each picture before moving to the next one, so it's not the end of the world, but it is disappointing. Overall the camera works quite well. I'm a little disappointed that the user modes (or whatever they now call it) doesn't store all settings, I have to remember to switch a few things on when I go back to that mode. But that has always been the case with Nikon; even my D750 didn't remember critical things in its user modes. (Like the role of the second card.) I like that it has controls for easily adjusting the delay - it's easy to switch from my usual 2 seconds to 5 or 10 seconds with just a button and a wheel. My D750 required navigating menus. The Z8 has several things like that that are a nice step forward for pro users.

Superperb pro quality, feels good in my hands. Still getting the hang of the mirrorless world, but this is a great camera that should be part of the arsenal for many years to come.

Am loving this camera! It took me a while to get used to how quiet it was--I couldn't tell if I had actually taken a photo! Works great in low light, live focus is fast (always a problem with my previous Nikons), Love it!

I have been using my Z8 for over a year! I love it! it has been a game changer. I still use my D850 as a backup but the Z8 is my go to camera now!

Seamless switch from my D800 to the Z8. Feels very similar, but a little lighter. The lens adapter does a great job, so I can continue to use all of my lenses.

The Nikon Z8 has become my main camera and one of the best creative tools I've ever owned. I use it for both photo and video work. It completely replaced my Nikon D750 for photo work and has also replaced my Blackmagic cinema pocket 6k camera for most of my video work. If you're coming from a DSLR or trying to consolidate photo and video into one system, the Z8 is a beast. It's easily one of the most capable creative tools I've owned. 5 stars.

Best Nikon Z camera for pro-users. I also own the Zf, a very different concept, but the Z8 remains the top of the Z line. Lenses are aplenty as of today, but you can adapt any old lenses to the Z8, with perfect results. I own over 50 Nikon F, M42, Olympus, etc lenses, and I have Z adapters for all of them. I highly recommend the Z8 for any serious shooters.

I have my D5 and D6 as well as my work horse D850 and no interest in upgrading to the Z camera and lenses. Then I finally did it. I went to the Z8 because I didn't need all the extras of the Z9. When I got it home and started using it with my F lens and was blown away with the picture quality of this Z8. I now started buying the Z lenses and I'm absolutely loving the Z8 for the size and again for the picture quality and its speed.

Z8 is focus campion. Replaced d500, good upgrade, love it. Adorama's package was just what I needed.

The Nikon Z8 has a very good camera overall?.the image quality is excellent and the autofocus system is generally fast and reliable in most lighting conditions. However, I've noticed that in very bright backlit situations, the autofocus can sometimes miss focus or take a bit longer to lock on than expected. It still gets the job done, but it's not perfect in those extreme lighting conditions. Otherwise, for everyday shooting and most scenarios, the autofocus performs well and makes the camera a great choice for serious photographers.

The camera is awesome. I am giving this 4 stars because I don't know what purpose the small case is. It barely holds the camera by itself. The rest of the items appear to be good.

Being a bit of a retro-grouch at times, I didn't expect I'd like this camera as much as I would??.but I realllllllly like this camera. In the past, for Nikon I've owned an N8008s, D40, D80, D3, D3s, D800E, and D810 (still currently own the D810)?.overall my favorite was the D3s, but I think the Z8 may have dethroned it. I like the rear button layout and being able to access the menu, zoom in/out and "ok" buttons with my right thumb. It's the little things like that which makes shooting faster and easier. I do miss the larger, green backlit LCD on top of the DSLR's though. The amount of technology they've packed into the Z8 is quite impressive. Ergonomically, comparing my D810 to the Z8 (comparing to a full-size body like the D3s wouldn't be fair), I like the feel of the D810 in hand better, the Z8 feels a bit blocky?..but I added a SmallRig L-Bracket to the Z8 and it's improved the feel. Not sure why SmallRig discontinued that. I like having an electronic shutter vs. a mechanical shutter (less to wear out), as well as having the sensor shield down when the camera is off/changing lenses. The Z8 renders noise quite well at higher ISO's with black and white conversions?..almost reminds me of shooting Tri-X (grainier) and T-Max (less grainier) from way back. The EVF on the Z8 is quite good, and having the ability to zoom in while using the EVF to manually focus (think macro or anything that requires critical focus) is awesome. I also love finally having a camera with IBIS. Image quality is good but doesn't really look any different than my D810. I'm not sure why Nikon took a step backward with the flash sync speed only being 1/200th now on the Z8 - wasn't impressed with that. I did have a bit of a weird issue with flash triggering during a family portrait shoot yesterday - for some reason, my studio strobe wouldn't fire when set to 1/200th in the flash menu, but when I switched it to 1/200th in high speed sync (this isn't a HSS flash unit), then it triggered normally. Could've been a glitch with either the flash trigger in the hotshoe or the camera, not sure which. I'll have to test to see if I can re-create the problem, but didn't run into that before. Bottom line, if you want a new camera with all the bells and whistles and Z-series glass, the Z8 is great. If you don't need or want all the bells and whistles and are happy with the performance and quality of your D810, D6 or D850 and your G series lenses, then stick with what you have

Beautiful camera and the accessories were a huge bonus. The z8 tracking a huge step up and exactly what I needed to improve my sports photography. Adorama customer service was extremely helpful and shipped quick.

I really like the speed of the auto focus for my bird photography and facial recognition on people even a long distance away! I like the higher megapixels so that I can crop or pixel peak even up to 400%! Feels great in the hand, even tho a little heavier than my z6's. I should've just bought the Z8 instead of the Z6's esp. since I do a lot of bird photography.

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.

After market Battery works find. 5 charges so far. So I save my Nikon ones at 80%. I have some little used 20 year old Nikon batteries which I keep in the cameras still rated as new. Using the flash as a slave with my 40 year old sensors although there is no swivel . Better idea is it lets the model know I am shooting with out effecting the photo due to the long distance. A pre flash is get ready with out any waving to bother others.
