Customer Ratings & Reviews

Could not be more pleased with my upgrade from the Nikon Z7II. Picture quality is remarkable and the focus and tracking is better than imagined.

Purchase was easy and fast. Glad I opted for the protection plan. This is a really great camera. Love it so much. Bought it in store and the salesperson was very knowledgeable and helpful. Great buying experience!

Amazing camera. I shoot weddings and capturing those special candid moments is very important. The auto focus, image quality is amazing

I upgraded from a Canon 80D to this flagship Nikon z8. Wow, the focus tracking, low iso noise, picture quality and frames per second outshine the 80D by a mile despite the anticipated learning curve coming from a different manufacturer. Watch YT helped with customization settings for focusing and reassigning button as needed. Pictures look amazing and I’m loving it so far!

Well ... at first, I found it a little intimidating, but using Thom Hogan and Steve Perry books readily understand how it works and the difference and enhancements of the Z8. Great camera... well versed in Nikon with a D700, D810,D500,D850 and now a Z6ii, Z6iii and a Z8. Good luck camera is well worth it if you learn how to use its functions.

This camera definitely feels like an upgrade over my z6 i was previously using. But it is larger to start with. So there is the added weight. Secondly the images/file size with the larger sensor take up twice as much storage space. But my biggest issue with this camera is the same that i had with my z6. IT STILL MISSES THE FOCUS. nothing worse than spending a whole day shooting, and getting home to find half of your images are unusable because the images are out of focus. Even with the eye detection feature. There are still some issue nailing the focus. But when it does its razor sharp. So often times i find myself have to shoot a pose multiple times just to make sure i get one usuable image. And that is an awful lot to go thru for a close to $4k camera and lens that are an additional $1-3k.

Great focus and fast, very fast with sharp images.

I fell in love with this camera the very minute I got it Fast shipping and as always Best Buy is just the place to go.

Amazing camera, auto focus and target tracking are awesome. I get more keepers than i did with my previous camera. The amount of settings was overwhelming at first, but once I got everything setup it was a breeze. I love the amount of programmable buttons that it has. I can change just about every button on the camera to do what I want and have every setting I need to change while shooting a finger click away instead of digging through the menus. I would highly recomend this camera.

Best Nikon camera for wildlife and sports. You cant go wrong with this one. It has so many features that were missing on my Nikon Z6 II. Namely, ability to store settings in banks. You can also create "My Menu" and customize for yourself. Its crazy fast in focusing in low light. Subject tracking is game changer. Haven't noticed any rolling shutter issues so far. The only downside is the battery life, i keep 2 batteries with me all the time.

This camera is a BEAST! I upgraded from a Nikon Z5 and the features on this are amazing! Definitely a learning curve, don't buy this today and try to shoot a wedding tomorrow! Learn the controls and create some awesome custom controls as well. The ONLY reason I downgraded the EASE OF USE rating is because it's NOT EASY to jump into using this. Read, watch YouTube videos, PRACTICE! You will be much happier after doing that! When you do purchase, ENJOY IT!!

Prefer this camera over the Z9, better ergonomics, decreased battery life is the only real compromise I’ve encountered so far.

Thank you BestBuy for the best deal on this camera. Z8 is the best overall camera. I am very satisfied with my purchase and enjoying taking pictures and videos. Some of the best features I love: Extremely fast auto focus, fast shutter speeds, high ISO, sharp pictures, 4K and 8K videos, great image stabilization, great battery life with option to use USB power together with USB transfer on separate ports. Camera menus and fully customizable buttons and knobs is extremely useful.

Thais is my best camera ever, the employee attention was A+++, sadly don’t remember his name.

Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great

This camera is fantastic. I am so happy I waited till this release to upgrade.

Very fast and accurate autofocus makes shooting sports and kids a breeze. 20fps means I never miss the best shots, throws, or jumps during basketball or football. Hands down the best Nikon body I’ve used so far. Also light enough to carry around all day at the amusement parks with the kids.

Coming from a D750, I wanted a good hybrid camera body with great video quality and have the capability to almost anything. The Z8 deliver in every way and more. It's a total beast and I don't think I would need to change this camera for the next 10 to 15 years. I am very happy with this and the Z8 is truly the Mirrorless version of the epic D850. However coming from D750, I see a big learning curve for me. Hope I should be able to use this camera with its fullest capacity.

Nice step up from my Nikon Z7 - though seems much more complex in terms of setup options. Once you have it dialed in and mastered, a very fun camera to shoot with! Great YouTube videos will help you with the initial setups.

The Best Buy in Florence KY was the only one in the area that had the Nikon Z8 in stock. They didn't have it on display but had one in the back. The salesperson and the Manager were very accommodating. this is the second camera I have purchased from the Florence Store. The camera is AWESOME TOO! I upgraded from a D850. I also purchased the 24-120 Z lens. Very happy with both!
