Nikon adds the powerful and agile Z 8 to its range of professional Z series mirrorless cameras.
Packing a host of Z 9 features into a lightweight body, the all-new Z 8 gives hybrid video/stills creators astounding flexibility with which to bring their vision to life. With its incredible blend of class-leading performance and compact build, the Z 8 is an exciting follow up to the Z 9 and a true creative successor to the D850. Weighing just 910 g (approx.), the Z 8 body is 30 % smaller than the Z 9 and 15 % smaller than the D850. It’s the perfect hybrid camera for creators who want a lighter body for shooting handheld or a full-frame camera that will balance perfectly on any rig, including most gimbals.
Compact body. Flagship performance.
The Z 8 brings the feature set of the Z 9 to a body that is 30% smaller than the Z 9 and 15% smaller than the D850. The 45 MP stacked CMOS sensor and impressive dynamic range. The phenomenal deep-learning AF system, and a subject- and eye-detection hit rate you can rely on. The blackout-free Real-Live Viewfinder and 4-axis tilting monitor. Video, stills, or both. You have the freedom to innovate while the Z 8 reliably nails every frame.
Astounding agility for video and stills
New ideas, tight budgets, fast turnarounds. Small setup or a full rig. However and wherever you create, the Z 8’s flexibility will keep your projects flowing. Record stunning 8K or 4K video straight out of the camera at an array of frame rates, including slow motion. Capture exquisite 45.7 MP stills even if shooting by starlight. There are separate display interfaces for video and stills, and menus rotate if shooting vertically.
Blazing fast 120 fps for stills
Never miss the decisive moment. You can shoot 11 MP stills at an insanely fast 120 fps, or 45.7 MP stills at an action-freezing 60 fps or 30 fps. All with full AF and AE performance and no viewfinder blackout.
Adapt to any setup
Weighing just 910 g (approx), the full-frame Z8 is comfortable to hold, and it balances perfectly on any rig. Nikon's MC-N10 Remote Grip allows precise control of the camera. And partner accessories, from gimbals to mics and more, help nail any shoot.
Any weather. Any conditions
The Z8 full-frame mirrorless camera is built to travel wherever your ideas take you. Full, high-performance weather sealing reliably keeps out dust, dirt, and moisture.? The same cold tolerance as both the D6 and the Z9 means you can shoot reliably in temperatures down to 10°C/14°F. Come rain, come ice, come snow- you can still go.
Sensor coatings and VR lock
An electro-conductive coating repels dust while a fluorine coating makes it easy to wipe the sensor clean.
For further protection, you can activate the camera's sensor shield to close automatically when you. remove a lens. When you turn the camera off, a VR lock keeps the sensor securely in place to prevent jostling if traveling over rough terrain.
Two USB-C ports. Dual card slots.
Two USB terminals let you transfer files quickly while charging the camera. The USB communication port supports USB-LAN and USB-C to Ethernet. The USB power delivery port supports USB-C charging. Dual card slots offer flexible shooting and storage, accepting high-performance XQD and CFexpress Type B cards as well as SD cards.
Vertical battery grip
You can use Nikon's MB-N12 battery grip for vertical shooting, or to counterbalance telephoto lenses, as well as for extended all-day shooting. You get up to 1.8x more operating time with two EN-EL15c batteries in the grip and you can hot-swap batteries. Plus, you can use this grip as a dual battery charger when it's not attached to the camera.
