  • Our take on the Nikon Z8 45.7MP 8K Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

    The Nikon Z8 is a full-frame mirrorless body built around a 45.7MP stacked sensor and the EXPEED 7 processor. It shoots up to 20 fps in full-resolution RAW and records 8.3K RAW video internally, with a blackout-free viewfinder and five-axis in-body stabilization. It suits professionals who want near-flagship speed and resolution in a body without an integrated vertical grip. Against the Z9 it gives up the built-in grip and dual-card redundancy of that model's larger body, but it shares the sensor, processor and autofocus system at a smaller size.

    What reviewers say

    Owners and reviewers treat the Z8 as a near-flagship camera that undercuts the Z9 in size while matching most of its performance. Autofocus tracking and burst speed draw the most praise; heat and battery drain during long 8K takes are the common complaints.

    What people mention
    • AutofocusPraisedReviewers say subject detection locks onto eyes, animals and vehicles and holds through fast movement.
    • Burst speedPraisedOwners report sustained high frame rates with a buffer that clears quickly.
    • Battery lifeCriticisedShooters say a charge drains fast during 8K video and long bursts, so spares are needed.
    • HeatMixedExtended 8K recording warms the body, and some users hit limits in long takes.
    • Image qualityPraisedThe 45.7MP files are described as detailed with room to crop and recover shadows.
    • HandlingMixedUsers like the lighter body versus the Z9 but miss the integrated vertical grip for portraits.

    About the Nikon Z8 45.7MP 8K Mirrorless Digital Camera (Body Only)

    The Nikon Z8 is a full-frame mirrorless camera sold as a body only. It has a 45.7-megapixel stacked backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and an EXPEED 7 image processor. It does not have an integrated vertical grip. It is made for sports, wildlife, news, wedding and action photography, and it also records video.

    Autofocus uses a 493-point hybrid system with subject detection. It recognizes people, dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains and airplanes. Eye detection can keep working when the subject is small in the frame. It also has 3D-tracking and can limit autofocus to a selected distance range with compatible configurations.

    Pre-Release Capture starts buffering images when the shutter-release button is partially pressed. When the button is fully pressed, the camera can save images captured shortly before that moment. It works with selected high-speed JPEG modes. Five-axis sensor-shift Vibration Reduction helps reduce camera shake with compatible lenses. Synchro VR can coordinate in-camera and lens stabilization with selected NIKKOR Z lenses.
