Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the exceptional camera quality and overall performance of the Z 8 8K Video Mirrorless Camera, highlighting its speed, accurate autofocus, and user-friendly design. The camera's impressive features, frame rate, and near-perfect ergonomics are also appreciated. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the camera's battery life, weight, and the additional cost of a fast memory card for N-log video recording.

    Customer service is incredibly important to me when buying a product as advanced (and understandably expensive) as this. I have used Nikon for years and despite having a number of major issues with SnapBridge I decided this Z8 would be the next and greatest addition to my lineup. I had a few technical issues- namely its wireless connectivity. Bluetooth seldom worked, nor did in-camera WIFI. Making it near impossible to download my images without a wired connection. I would have to connect, disconnect, and reconnect my wireless device every single time. On a product as expensive as this I expect better. I could forgive this if the service at Nikon direct weren’t so p*** poor. The associates I had the misfortune of dealing with were rude, snarky, unprofessional, lacking completely in compassion, and shockingly underinformed. After almost 90 days of constantly trying to resolve my issues to no avail I gave up on Nikon, returned the camera, sold all my Nikon equipment and started over with Sony. What a let down.

    Love this Camera!!!! Switching from Canon because I heard good things about the Z8 and Z9. I didn’t want a super big camera like the Z9 so I went with the Z8 and glad I did.

    Came from a D750, vast improvement. Controls are very similar so the transition was very smooth.

    Best mirrorless camera I've ever owned, and I've owned almost every brand. I'm tall and have large hands. This grip is finally the grip I've been looking for!

    Awesome camera. I’m so glad that I purchased this over the Z6ii, even though the z6ii would’ve been fine but this has better animal tracking for the purpose I purchased it for.

    Excellent camera for the price compared to cameras that are in the 5500-6k+ price range. Now before you buy it just know what you are buying. It’s not as good in low light which is expected.

    Good camera. I also have the z9. I wish they would have used 2 CFexspess cards. It is a faster card then than the SD card for the second card.
