Nikon Z 8 Mirrorless Camera Body 

Get ready to unleash your creative vision like never before with the all-new Nikon Z 8 – the perfect hybrid camera for both video and stills! This camera is a powerhouse of class-leading performance and compact build, packing in all the features you need to bring your ideas to life. Weighing just 910 g, the Z 8 is 30% smaller than its older sibling, the Z 9, and 15% smaller than the D850. It's the perfect choice for creators who want a lighter body for shooting handheld, or for those looking for a full-frame camera that will balance perfectly on any rig or gimbal.

  • 45.7MP FX-Format Stacked CMOS Sensor
  • Lightweight Design, 30% Smaller than Z9
  • 8.3K 60p N-RAW, 4.1K 60p ProRes RAW
  • 8K30p and 4K120p Video, 10-Bit Internal
  • Up to 20 fps Raw, 30 fps JPEG Shooting
  • 493-Point AF, AI-Based Subject Detection
  • Blackout-Free Real Live Viewfinder
  • 3.2" 4-Axis Tilting Touchscreen LCD
  • CFx Type B & SD Memory Card Slots
  • 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

With a whopping 45.7 megapixel stills resolution and 8.3K native video resolution, the Z 8 is the perfect tool to capture stunning visuals. And with the same stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the Z 9, you'll get exceptional image quality straight out of the camera. Video can be recorded in an array of frame rates and codecs, including in-camera 12-bit RAW for video up to 8.3K/60p or 4.1K/120p. And for stills shooters, the camera offers an array of file sizes and burst speeds, including an astounding 120 fps.

Don't let the smaller, lighter body fool you – the Z 8 is as reliable as they come. Boasting pro-grade weather sealing and cold tolerance similar to Nikon's flagship D6 and Z 9 cameras, you can shoot with confidence in any condition. Plus, the Z 8 is the first Nikon mirrorless camera to feature two USB-C ports, allowing for quick file transfer while charging. And with a range of NIKKOR Z lenses and partner accessories available, the possibilities are endless. So whether you're a professional or just starting out, the Nikon Z 8 is the perfect choice for creators who want to take their work to the next level.

"This Z8 is an adventure of discovery. Well pleased to jump from the D850 and Z7 11 to the Z8. A couple of old Nikon lenses seem to perform even better on the Z8 too. Looking forward to the predicted firmware upgrade. "

"Excellent replacement for Z9 I traded in. Awesome piece of kit."
Star Rating 5
By MattCooper on 22nd August 2023
"I'd been frustrated with the z7ii autofocus performance for months (my own fault, the camera wasn't designed for what I wanted to use it for, but 7ii is better than 6ii, right?!) Well, what a revelation the z8 is. I'm still at the beginning of the learning curve, but already hit rate and keeper rate are significantly higher than previously, and the overall speed and feel of the camera are nothing short of phenomenal, and image quality is exceptional. I can't wait to see what I achieve with more practise!"
