Introducing The Nikon Z8
The Best of Both Worlds: Stills and Video
Known affectionately as the "Mini Z9", the Nikon Z8 boasts a 45.7 effective megapixel stacked CMOS sensor, offering the world's fastest scanning speed, minimising rolling-shutter distortion and eliminating the need for a mechanical shutter. Equipped with the EXPEED 7 processor, the Z8 mirrorless camera delivers exquisite image-processing capabilities, enabling features like the Real-Live Viewfinder, powerful AF, 120fps Pre-Release Capture, High-Efficiency RAW, in-camera 8.3K/60p N-RAW, 4K UHD/120p, and more.
One of the first things to notice about this camera is the incredible ISO range of 64-25,600. When used at a higher ISO, the camera performs exceptionally well in low-light situations, producing clean images with minimal noise. And with the ability to shoot at 20 fps (or 120 fps in JPEG mode) makes the Z8 a strong contender for action and sports photography, where capturing fleeting moments is crucial.
Incredible Autofocus Ability
With 493 AF points, the Z8's autofocus system is quick and accurate, ensuring your subjects remain sharp and in focus. The advanced AF algorithm effortlessly identifies and follows nine subjects, including people (eyes, faces, heads, upper bodies), dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, and planes. Its detection capabilities have also been improved in low-light conditions, such as indoor environments and during sunsets.
Built To The Z9's Storage Standards
The Nikon Z8 features both CFExpress and SD card slots, catering to a range of memory preferences. Compared to most other Z Series cameras, there's now support for 10-bit HEIF files, which offer a wider dynamic range and better colour reproduction than traditional ones.
When looking at the body itself, there's an abundance of dust and drip-resistant sealing, making par with the Nikon Z9, ensuring the camera is reliable in various shooting conditions and capable as a backup body to the flagship.
Buttery-Smooth Video
The Nikon Z8 pushes the boundaries of video resolution with 8.3K recording at 60p, making it an ideal choice for professional videographers and filmmakers. The high-resolution video capabilities also make it a great option for those looking to future-proof their investment.
In addition to its powerful resolution, the Nikon Z8 extends to offer 12-bit N-RAW for 8.3K 60p, 12-bit ProRes RAW HQ, and 10-bit ProRes 422 HQ, all in-camera. With its smaller, agile, and robust design than the Z9, you can tackle any cine rig with confidence and ease.
Image Stabilisation and Shutter Speed
Featuring a 5-axis in-body stabilisation system, the Nikon Z8 provides up to 6 stops of compensation, allowing for sharper images even in challenging conditions. Users will also find the camera's electronic shutter an impressive range exhausting at 1/32000. This ability makes it possible to shoot a wide-open aperture in bright scenarios.
