    Great camera. WAY more advanced than older SLRs. Not perfect, but a total game changer. The viewfinder is ok, I personally preferred looking through the lens (ala SLR), but the capabilities it gives you are well worth the tradeoff. I thought this would be my 'last expensive camera'. I now know it won't be. It's great. But you can tell they are going to get even better.

    This camera is worth every penny. It takes stunning pictures and it is also great for video. The menue can be a little overwhelming at first but once you understand it, it offers so many customizable options, and the profiles make it simple to switch between shooting styles.

    It is definitely heavier and bigger than Z7II. C1, C2, C3 are missing. Very awkward back display mechanism. I will wait for the Z8II for that reason.

    Nikon Z8 Rocks

    After owning several Nikon film and mirrored DSLR cameras in the past, I decided to finally move to mirrorless and purchase the Z8. Althought I've owned my Z8 for only about a month I'm totalled awed and impressed with it's design and capabilities. As I get to know the Z8 more I have no doubt that it will cement itself as an outstanding camera!

    Great camera for all around hybrid shooters. Got it on the holiday deal. No, its not a Z9 (which I also have). That camera is far superior in a lot of ways, especially for sports action wildlife stills and any high end video use cases. The Z8 is more like the 1st cousin of the Z9.

    Upgrading to a Z8 from a D850. It's incredible and I could not be more stoked on this camera. Just absolutely nails focus with all my f mount lenses, can't wait to upgrade to some z mount lenses.

    Nikon really outdid itself with this camera. I love it for professional work, the censoring the camera is great and photos/videos come of effortlessly sharp. This is my workhorse and would definitely recommend.

    This camera is fantastic and I am glad I bought it. There is a learning curve, but I think that goes with any new camera. The pictures turn out well, storage is a snap, and it works with all of my z-lenses.
