The Nikon Z8 is a compact, lightweight camera housing much of the technology from the Z9 but in a sleeker, more portable package. Dubbed the ultimate hybrid camera, the Z8 features the same proven sensor, processing, and AF capabilities of the flagship with a new body design that better suits gimbal use, event shooting, and other handheld applications.
The stacked design contributes to a reduced rolling shutter while the BSI designation ensures improved noise levels when working at the top end of the extended ISO 32-102400 range. Also, the 45.7MP resolution and full-frame sensor size hit a sweet spot that benefits photographers working in detail-oriented genres as well as enables recording video at resolutions up to 8K. Top continuous shooting speeds of 20 fps when shooting in raw, 30 fps when shooting in JPEG, 60 fps when shooting 19MP JPEGs using a DX area, and an impressive 120 fps shooting rate when recording 11MP stills, with all rates supporting full AF/AE performance. Pre-release capture helps make decisive moment shots easier by recording frames in a burst for up to a second before actually releasing the shutter.
When this feature is activated, burst shooting will commence when the shutter is half-pressed and the buffer will retain up to a second's worth of frames before fully pressing the shutter.AF calculations are done at a 120 fps rate to keep up with fast continuous shooting speeds. Stills can also be saved in the HEIF file format; a useful evolution from JPEG, this 10-bit format offers 1 billion more colors for greater realism and dynamic range when viewed on HLG-compatible displays while still retaining the small file size as a JPEG. Long Exposure display includes a live exposure timer on the rear LCD, along with the ability to dim the viewfinder to better preserve your night-adjusted vision. The speed of the sensor enables recording at up to 1/32,000 sec and the stacked structure reduces motion distortion for the accurate depiction of fast-moving subjects, like golf clubs, baseball bats, and automobiles. Also, despite the absence of a mechanical shutter, flash sync up to 1/200 sec. is still supported as well as high-speed sync functions. Fine-tune hue and brightness while shooting for more precise control while shooting.
Manual white balance control is more intuitive when making adjustments and Auto WB has also been optimized for human subjects. N-RAW is Nikon's raw recording format that offers impressively small file sizes compared to other raw formats as well as the ability to create MP4 proxies for more efficient previewing or transferring.
Red REC frame indicator on EVF and LCD during recording to easily recognize when recording is being captured. Fast AF-ON function can be assigned to Fn buttons; it is now possible to assign two different AF speeds to different buttons. Dual card slots—one CFexpress Type B slot and one UHS-II SD slot—allow for flexible file saving. The CFx slot is suitable for data-intensive applications, like 8K recording and high-speed burst shooting, while the SD slot retains compatibility with the popular storage format.
Additionally, the CFx B slot is also compatible with XQD memory cards. Premium weather sealing protects against dust and moisture for confident use in harsh climates. In-body Vibration Reduction now supports Synchro VR to achieve up to 6 stops of camera shake compensation when used with select Z lenses. Full-size HDMI port for outputting video to an external recorder or monitor. Two USB-C ports: one supports file transfers and tethering and the second is dedicated to power delivery and battery charging.
