If it's real it's great lineup for nikon

Being a Nikon shooter (over 40 years) the Z8 hits all of the buttons. Slightly larger to fit my hands and not let my little finger hanging like the Z6/7s, built to be a shooters camera and get out of my way like the D850. My NPS order is in.

Yeah, main reason I'm considering adding an additional 2k to my budget - the Z6 is *tiny*. Does not handle well at all with the 24-70 imo

On the shutter feedback issue - I have the Z9 and have learned to turn on the “cartoon” sound - great label btw - when I am doing portraits or model shoots. Models have learned to change their poses after they hear the sound of the shutter. If you are in silent mode they have no idea what is going on. Conversely when shooting wildlife I always shoot in silent mode, so as not to disturb my subjects or if someone is shooting video right next to me. As with all things technical it is something to learn to work with.

Totally agree with this observation. Also, for those times where silence may be desired (close bird or wildlife), but feedback is still necessary for the photographer, the EVF has a feature to turn on a thin border flashing or blinking around the EVF field display to help represent each shutter image.

And as you probably know, there are rumours of a future firmware update which will introduce more realistic (and one or two frankly unnecessary novelty) shutter sounds. I expect Nikon will also add the few new menu options the Z8 currently has over the Z9. I'm happy the way it is but more choice is never a bad thing.

I’ve been using a Z9 for a year and a half now, and it I really enjoy using it. I do a lot of wildlife/BIF in all kinds of conditions, and it gets the job done with flying colors. I also do a lot of concert photography, and the Z9 is great for that, but it’s a bit bulky for that use. I preordered the Z8 and I think it’s going to be the perfect concert camera as well as my wildlife camera when I have to hike to remote locations. Z glass is hard to beat, so there’s that as well.

I loved the sample images of your presets. Just beautiful. I think the Z8 is precisely what so many hoped it would be, echoing the the D850’s position vis a vis its big brothers. As always, Nikon appears to have kept the controls and basic ergonomics uniform with the Z9, which was already familiar to DSLR users. It also reinforces the convenience for those seeking a second body alongside their Z9. This was well worth the wait!

It's not more light. The difference is too little and the lenses will add more weight than the cameras can remove. On the other hand, if you don't need top-notch AF but a pretty good one will do the Z9 will work wonders with adapter lenses, even with some 3 party lenses. My guess is that the Z8 will be as good. Matt Granger has two adapted lens videos. I can provide the links if you need them. Best regards.

I’ve been shooting with my d850 since the day it came out. I was waiting on this Z8 with great anticipation! Im not disappointed at all, I actually already placed an order to get it :)

I think the solution to the lack of a haptic feedback will be familiarity and comfort with use. Yes, we are *used* to something. In the coming years, that will completely change. Kind of like the EVF... An interesting option would be to allow the user to load their own shutter sound file.

As a D850 shooter this is was Ihavebeen waiting for to go mirrorless!

Absolutely a magnificent camera. I shoot Fuji (long travel), Nikon (portraits) and m43 (when traveling with motorcycle). I migt decide to sell some and purchase this one. Good review.

Do I need the z8? No. Do I want the z8? Yes! I'm a hobbyist so it's not like I have to have it for work. But, I can do enough side jobs this year to make enough to buy it. I don't know if Nikon will put a stacked sensor in any of their other full frame bodies. I would love to see that in the z6 iii and z7 iii. My two biggest pet peeves I've had with Nikon has been the focus tracking and the screen blackout in burst mode. You solve that with faster processors and a stacked sensor.

What a great and professional review!! Thanks so much!! I love my Z9, but I'm very tempted to get the Z8 after watching this video.

Interesting comparison also would be with the mini-medium format options also in the $4k price range-both camera performance and lens ecosystem. Long lens stuff is an obvious advantage, but portrait/travel/landscape/etc it feels very interesting.

Fantastic video! Ordered your presets and excited to try them out on my Z8 later this month!

I have the D850 and bought a z6 2 recently, I love the idea of the new z8 and it's form factor, It's very interesting to hear about SDR & HLG will like to learn more about this.

Thanks Ted, great review. I am really happy to see Nikon hit the ball right out of the park. Best thing to attract new interest is many manufacturers putting out great products.

WHAT AN EXCELLENT AND BALANCED AND EDUCATED review... and yes, I mean to shout it! Very good and thank you - subbed! BTW - I note that no reviewer has commented so far on the round viewfinder. Nikon aims to place this camera firmly in the hands of pro photographers and not prosumers. The round form of the viewfinder is indicative of this - all other prosumer and lower level cameras have the squarer form. Small point but means an awful lot to thems that knows!

Pre-ordered Z8 as backup to my Z9, love the robust Z9 features in a smaller form factor.

All great points but one omission: there is a setting to have a small white frame flash around the outside of the image when taking photos. This way it can be silent and also have no blackout, while still giving the photographer feedback. I find this works perfectly.

Bravo...well it is always a pleasure to see your reviews

I actually do like the form factor of the Z9, but if are there features offered with the Z8 that are not available in the Z9, I would be happy to add a grip if the camera itself offers better performance for wildlife, lanscapes and sports or image quality for portraits, product photography, or in high contrast environments

It's probably the best camera Nikon has ever made. I'm impressed.

What lens and camera are you using to film this video? Love how glossy and creamy it looks. Thanks!

Very tempting camera, good review. I bought your presets for Capture One a while ago, but given the rather sad updates C1 has received for the last couple of years, I'm moving back to Lightroom. Do I need to buy the preset package again, or can I download it again, this time for Lightroom?

That's amazing! A replica of the Z9. Way to go Nikon!

Nikon shooter here…..I think the Z8 is amazing. A real D850 alternative. But as an amateur, primarily stills, landscape, shooter, my Z7ii is great and its lighter, smaller form factor is better for hiking. So my dollars are likely to go into more of that dreamy Nikkor Z glass, than a camera that is more than what I need. I use your presets, and I really do dig them! I actually love shooting on two old DSLRs the Nikon D200 CCD APSC and D300 CMOS APSC and using the presets to process the images. The sensors already have a film vibe and your presets help alot to finish off the vintage look. You don’t need the latest and greatest to enjoy a day out with a camera! Of course, when I really want the film vibe, I shoot, well…film.

Man, seeing the views on this compared to the other more artistic/important videos is just…can’t even “blame” you for producing this typa content.

Fantastic review , I have been waiting for the Z8 to replace the D6 Bodies I currently have , there were a few niggles with the Z9 (the door ) that I wasn't happy with , I have used z6 z611. as a stop gap , , it reminds me of going from film to the D1 it feels like a big step

I am particularly excited with the Nikon come back… Z9 compressed into a smaller affordable body is great… But it is equally exciting to watch Nikon finally catch up on the marketing front… counter for launch date, product already distributed to influencers in the community, simultaneous release of influencer videos globally with the product release… If Nikon keeps this up, they will grab significant market share from Canon and Sony… and with a Zf from Fuji 😂

Great review - thanks. As to the film simulations, I can only imagine that the original "developers" of these film stocks put a lot of time and their considerable expertise into what they sold and for you to resurrect them (if that is a fair description) is in my opinion a great thing to do. No, I am not a sycophant nor am I nostalgic but in emulating these film stocks, this saves a large body of knowledge from being lost.

On the Nikon D850 you have a FN2 My Menu button, does the Z8 have the My Menu where you can assign various Menu Funtions to access quickly?

I am a z9 user (Love!) and shoot off-road racing. The z9 is tricky to use with a lot of engine noise around and I have had to learn to watch the yellow box flash in my viewfinder to make sure I’m getting the shot. That said though, it is the lightest and best sports camera I have ever used. I’d love to try out the z8 for a carry around/non work camera

Greetings, thank you for the video. My photography journey is considering returning to Nikon from Fujifilm. No complaints regarding the X-system; just the acknowledgement of the limitations of a crop sensor. A considerable strength are the film simulations. My question is , are your lightroom presets 'certified' with Fujifilm? Travis

I pre-ordered a Z8. For the price this is a lot of camera, especially on the video side of things.

I agree that haptic feedback would be nice. I seem to doubt if I pushed the button hard enough and check to see if I took a picture

Awesome review! Super happy with my Z8! Was just wondering, how do you expose internally properly since there isn't any exposure tools in video mode? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

I didn’t quite understand what that new RAW thing (that requires 400 ISO) was. Is it like the dynamic range setting on Fuji cameras? That one does affect RAW and it increases minimum ISO (500 on X-T5). Or is it meant as high dynamic range like in movies. You know the kind where you need a high dynamic range display to see it? I guess it’s not that, because you can already make most raw files into high dynamic range photos. I’ve done it myself with photos from the X-T3 using Affinity Photo on a iPad Pro.

I was just having the same conversation with my friend about the electronic shutter sound. Nikon should give an option to at least change the shutter sound. Maybe offer classic Nikon shutter sounds like an F3, F100 and D3x shutter sounds. It's a weird thing to consider but it makes it more fun to use.

@@yayayeter42 You can set the EVF to an almost blackout mode - I have my Z9s set that way. It doesn't *fully* blackout (which I'm glad for - I don't want to lose the advantage of the full time EVF), but it dims so that you can tell you are taking photos. I've turned off the sound altogether so the camera is silent, which I prefer.

If you make the Z9 shutter sound the lower tone, you can actually feel it in the body. Not quite as strong as an actual shutter, but it’s there. Also, not having a shutter can be an issue with certain types of light (I’m a concert shooter). You can see horizontal banding in certain images.

I’m still shooting a z6 and z7 for architectural work. My subjects rarely move, so I would rarely use the advanced features in a Z8 other than for video, which would be why I would pick it up. Maybe in a year or two after they are regularly in stock. My current gear is fully adequate for what I shoot so I probably won’t be upgrading for a few years.

Love this thing.

Very nice review Ted. Thank you. As an amateur lucky enough to have a Z7 and a Z9, I'm sitting tight. If the Z8 and Z9 had come out at the same time, the Z8 would have suited me better. Nikon made me happy by not making the Z8 BETTER than the Z9. And the Z7 is much lighter than the Z8. Boy would I love a Z7 with an Expeed 7 and better autofocus, but I'm learning to focus just fine with the Z7. I love your presets. Can they work with ON1 Raw?

There are some options for visual feedback on the displays if you shoot with artificial shutter sound turned off.

Wouldn’t haptic feedback remove one of the advantages of an electronic shutter - shutter shock? You get visual cues that you’re taking a shot in the EVF if you choose to shoot completely silent, which should be adequate.

The camera could be "the dream-camera" for Nikon shooters so far of course ! But indeed - it is like the Z9 not offering the shutter feeling we are still all used to and that is for me a real drawback ! I did shoot some film last week on my Leica M6 ( for B&W/) when I was in Japan, mostly in Tokyo , for professional reasons - And it was after years such a joy, listening to the sound of this shutter and having this haptics - also did have a Nikon f3 and used that for chromes - Again digital cameras are amazing tools , but sometimes they are in many ways technically so overwhelming and take us a bit off of the photography which should be the simple process of seeing and finding a motive and trying to put it in context and hitting the right moment !

Whilst agree but mind you any physical feel might shake the camera. Any notice of visual signal of photo taken?

Hello sir, thank you for the mini review of the nikon z8. I have been into photography since I was 12. I am 60, and now I have a lil experience with cameras. My first nikon was the nikon coolpix 5000, from there nikon d70, from there nikon d200, and now presently nikon d500. I have wanted to go to mirrorless for some time, but nothing ran to nikon. I was thinking about going with Sony, but I have a ton of nikon glass. So I was probably going to go with either z6ii or z7ii. But hold up, wait a minute. Nikon introduced the z9 I loved the camera but not the size. So I say all of this to say I think my patience has paid off Nikon z8 will be my 5th nikon camera!!!! Thanks again for the review....

Can you shoot in bulb mode with an electronic shutter? The Sony A1 doesn’t in ES.

Joking aside, I have yet to see a reason to upgrade from (say) a D3. I think the technology became so great so fast, that we approached the limit of what makes sense. A D3 provided a massive leap forward. I have not seen a similar leap ever since. Perhaps, we are approaching ‘as good as it will ever get” moment in photography.

The price point of the Z 8 is almost identical to the D850 in 2023 dollars ($3299 the is like $4045 today). It has to price compete with the Canon R5 ($3899) and the Sony A7r V ($3899) so $3999 makes perfect sense. The Z 9’s price is easily $1000-$1500 below its contemporaries and well below inflation, so it’s the real anomaly. The Z 8 is right where it should be.
