The Nikon Z 8 is a full-frame mirrorless hybrid that carries the 45.7MP stacked BSI sensor, processing and autofocus of the flagship Z9 in a body about 30% smaller and lighter. It shoots stills at high speed and records video up to 8K, with the stacked sensor keeping rolling shutter low and noise controlled across the extended ISO 32-102400 range. It suits event, wildlife, sports and video shooters who want flagship capability without the Z9's built-in grip and bulk. Against the Z9 it gives up the integrated vertical grip and dual-grip battery life; against the Z6 III it offers far more resolution and 8K. Reviewers consistently rate its autofocus, build and image quality highly, with battery life and heat in long 8K runs as the usual complaints.

Owners and reviewers rate the Z 8 as one of the best hybrid full-frame cameras, praising its Z9-level autofocus, image quality and handling in a smaller body. Common criticisms are battery life, heat on long 8K takes and the lack of a built-in vertical grip.
The Nikon Z8 is a compact, lightweight mirrorless camera for stills and video. It carries much of the technology of the Z9, including the same sensor, processing and autofocus capabilities, in a body that is 30% smaller. The body design suits gimbal use, event shooting and other handheld work.
It uses a 45.7MP FX-format (full-frame) BSI stacked CMOS sensor. The stacked design reduces rolling shutter, and the BSI design improves noise levels at the top of the extended ISO 32-102400 range. The resolution also allows video recording at up to 8K.
Stills can be saved in the HEIF format, a 10-bit format that offers 1 billion more colors than JPEG. In-body Vibration Reduction supports Synchro VR for up to 6 stops of correction. A red REC frame indicator appears on the EVF and LCD during recording.
