08-03-2026I shoot basketball games and purchased the Z-8 with that in mind. Did after speaking with a colleague about his experience with the Z8 and I have been very happy. Prior to the Z-8 I used a D4S, D500, Z-6 amongst others. I absolutely love the Z8. The autofocus is fantastic, very fast and picks up focus well. The viewfinder is very fast and responsive so no flicker or blanking while shooting - really just like shoot with a DSLR so it's very easy to track the action. The images are sharp. ISO range is good and works quite well at higher ISO - allows me to shoot using an F4 lens that I have instead of having to use my 2.8. The auto-iso seems to work pretty well though I don't need it for indoor basketball with fixed lighting and manual shooting. I do enjoy the specialize focus for where it can grab the eye point for focus. I use that more for non-sports. Not heavy and not too big, easy to carry. You can add a vertical grip to make it more like a Z-9 but it's basically the same camera without the vertical grip (so I understand). This is the best camera I own now. The autofocus is really good from what I have scene and I don't think anyone would be disappointed if they purchased one.

08-03-2026Excellent Z8 PRO CAMERA but at a high price. Superior focus, great sensor, and super video. Reasonable size and weight for travel photography. It offers an array of modern technology and produces top quality still and video in the hands of a serious photographer. Battery life is less than optimal but fine with an extra battery on longer shoots.

08-03-2026Long time Nikon shooter and they really out did themselves with this camera. Amazing, light weight and powerful. So much to relearn even after shooting for 30+ years. The options it offers from focus stacking, the quality of the image to the new lens speed and clarity, topped off by the 8k video or the 4k 120 options in Nlog or regular video shooting mode. This camera is worth every penny IMHO. If you have the $$$$ and are on the fence, believe me you will be so happy you got it. I have only had it a month or so and I am over the moon and soon I will be taking pictures of it. :D

08-03-2026Excellent camera on paper but in reality, it's more marketing than anything else on many aspects! The video image quality is superb but that doesn't make it a video camera but more a very good camera! So yes, the technical sheet makes you dream, 8k60 nraw, pro res raw, 4k oversampled, 4k120 without crop, almost zero rolling shutter, very good in low light and robust body but in reality and me who was looking for a camera for video mainly, I turned to Nikon, after having moved from Sony and Lumix but what a mistake! in my opinion and according to what I'm obviously looking for, Nikon is an excellent brand but they are years behind Lumix for video, autofocus on a gimbal with fast rear movements, are a disaster even with a native lens and specific settings, the Z8's autofocus is far behind Lumix S5IIX in video, except in low light, the body is made of plastic so it heats up a lot! I tried several types of cf express but where I am it's hot it's impossible to film a video shoot outdoors! In short Lumix's strong point is to make their cameras compatible with SSDs but Nikon will not do it because they will not be able to do it on their range above Z9, in any case for me it's a first on Nikon and the last time, paying 4000usd for a video camera, which limits you in your actions, it's not worth it. Bad AF video, overheating, cf express too expensive, N-log to rec709 weak compared to v-log and s-log3, believe me stay away from Nikon cameras for the moment!, I'll come back one day maybe but not now.UPDATE>Ok, I'm coming back to the z8's autofocus, I almost sold it and I still decided to buy the 50mm 1.4 z, a latest-gen native lens, to see how the AF works and I have to say that in video, it's now very, very good! it manages to surpass my s5IIX in autofocus, after some research, I saw a lot of possibilities to improve the camera that heats up, like a Zitay SSD to the express cf or Exascend pro or element pro cards for example with lower voltage 1.25v at 400mb/s, so this card should be the best for this camera, I'll get back to you on that soon but in practice in h265 or Nraw 4k 30p, you can film for more than 2 hours without the camera emitting a signal which is a pretty good sign! I also improved the Nlog to the rec709 on Davinci resolve because the one given by Nikon was bad! with just a few options on the software and the use of RED luts, it becomes very very good. in short, with patience... so I change my rating, only morons don't change their opinion.

Z 8 | The Ultimate Hybrid Camera
Powerful performance. Professional build. Compact, lightweight handling. A dream camera for videos and stills.
Compact follow-up to Z 9. True successor to D850.
A dream for still photography. Stunning 45.7MP stills at extraordinary fast shooting speeds.
Capture beautiful high-resolution images in nearly any condition. Burst speeds up to 120 fps and Pre-Release Capture, which saves the moment before you press the shutter button, give you the edge when photographing wildlife, sports and weddings. The silent all-electronic shutter freezes action at shutter speeds up to 1/32000 sec. with virtually no rolling shutter distortion. And new file format options, 14-bit High Efficiency RAW and 10-bit HEIF, offer more flexibility and faster workflow.
8K/60p and 4K/120p RAW video captured in-camera.
The Z 8 delivers unrivaled professional video capabilities in a compact, lightweight camera. Record 12-bit 8K/60p and 4K/120p footage with 24-bit audio straight to your memory cards, along with Full HD proxy files.12-bit ProResRAW HQ and 10-bit ProRes 422 HQ are available in-camera (no accessory required), while Nikon’s N-Log color profile uses extensive color depth and dynamic range to give you more control for grading.
Nikon’s most advanced autofocus system. Fast, intelligent autofocus with subject detection.
Built upon a sophisticated AF algorithm developed using deep learning technology, the Z 8 (like the Z 9) detects and tracks more subjects than any other mirrorless system. It combines subject detection with 3D Tracking for extremely fast acquisition and full-time tracking of fast, erratic subjects like flying birds. It’s capable of focusing in the lowest light—all the way down to -9.0 EV. Eye AF locks on to the eyes of people, pets and birds, and you can set custom focus areas for more control.
Compact, lightweight design.Professional build with efficient operation.
At just 2 lbs, the Z 8 is 30% smaller than the Z 9, 15% smaller than the D850 and ideal for handheld shooting or mounting to rigs and gimbals. It’s built from Seerebo carbon fiber and robust magnesium alloy, making it both durable and lightweight. Premium weather sealing protects against dust and moisture, while a sensor shield protects the sensor during lens changes. Illuminated buttons and warm display colors help when shooting in low light.
Dual Card Slots One for CFexpress (Type B) or XQD and one SD (including SDHC or SDXC).
Dual USB Type C Ports One for high-speed transfers (including 1000BASE-T Wired-LAN) or accessories, another for charging and constant power.
Real-Live Viewfinder 100% blackout-free with up to 120 fps refresh rate for a smooth, lifelike view.
4-Axis Tilting Touchscreen Shoot from creative new angles. The display and menus reorient when you’re shooting vertically.
