That piece that you weren't sure what it was is a USB and HDMI cable clip. You can route the cable through it so that they don't get unplugged accidentally.

Hey thanks Mozman!

Nikon is still an iconic brand in the world of photography. It started in 1917 and about 4 years later they came out with the first binoculars and finally in 1933 with the delivery of Aero-NIKKOR, a NIKKOR lens designed for aerial photography. The rest is history. I had developed my very first photo in high school in 1976 and that's when my love for photography was born. Only shot with Nikon DSLR in recent years. From the Nikon D60 to recently with the D7200 and even with the D90. But now I switched to MFT because it is lighter in weight and the lens range is amazing. But I'm still in love with Nikon...

Japan really hits above its weight by having five of the most popular camera manufacturers originate there (Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and Olympus). Pretty impressive IMO.

I have to say, props to you for actually nailing the lighting for a video. It’s not a common thing on KZread.

@3:12 those plastic items are cable management so that you don't destroy your cable interfaces when the cables are accidentally pulled at an angle. They really protect your interfaces.

Great video John! Though I am not usually into unboxing videos, I found yours straightforward and informative. I look forward to seeing some of the images you create with the Z8.

John It’s good seeing you having a good time growing your KZread!! The Z8 in your hands will be sensational my Friend!! Congratulations bro!!!

HI John and nice unboxing video! Good to see this camera arriving, game on!

Congrats John ! I just got mine yesterday and I couldn’t help going over the top and grabbed the 70-200 VR . I already had the 50 1.8 and 85 1.8 so I thought I’d enjoy being able to grab those portrait shots between 100mm up to 200 mm . Can’t wait to try it out ! Thanks for the unboxing 👌🏼

Awesome video John and it should be Xmas for me on May 28th. I cant wait.

Congrats John. Good to see you got it early

good job John, enjoy it, I have no doubt you will put it to good use

Way to go John!! Cheers!

Just got mine yesterday. Our little town in the middle of nowhere, the store got 3. Well now 2 as I got one. Upgrading from d850

Looking good John. Congrats.

Congrats, John. The wait is finally over for the Z version of the D850. My copy is arriving tomorrow (Sunday in the US).

Can the z8 record in Nlog?

Yeeeeeee 😁

Congrats Sir! did you order this Z8 through a local camera store or you bought it online? I'm holding up to purchase it now in anticipation of a long long waiting list. I like it coz its the size of my ex body, which is the D850. In today's world, if one could obtain a good hybrid body for the money, then the Z8 is a no brainer actually. When it effectually gets to my hands, I only need to get 2 extra EN-CL 15C, when I go about using it. i hike a lot, so having spare batteries is essential. Camera aside, it is also those Z lenses that contributes to the overall shooting experience. Virtually, all f4 lenses in the Z family are way way better then their F mount counterpart. Even the little ZFC with its 16-50 DX kit lens is superb

Should be ok to swap but better format just in case

Wow, forty years as a Nikon photographer. That’s a lot of fondling. 📷😂👍

QUESTION: I bought my Z8 from Best Buy and though I have bought dozens of Nikons from Best Buy, I am always concerned that I am going to get one of their RETURNS REPACKAGED. When you unboxed your Z8, was there an acetate protector covering the top LCD of the camera or just one covering the REAR LCD? Mine only had ONE protective cover on the REAR LCD, there was NO COVER on the TOP LCD WINDOW. Thanks!

When unboxing a new camera, immediately upon holding it you should have commented on how it feels in the hand, ie does it feel solid or plasticky like so many Mirrorless cameras.
