Customer Reviews from the United States
RJ in WA
"Great Camera! The autofocus is fantastic, very fast and picks up focus well. The viewfinder is very fast and responsive... The images are sharp. ISO range is good and works quite well at higher ISO... This is the best camera I own now."
Claude
"If you can get this, GET IT!
Amazing, light weight and powerful. So much to relearn even after shooting for
30+ years. The options it offers from focus stacking, the quality of the image
to the new lens speed and clarity, topped off by the 8k video or the 4k 120
options in Nlog or regular video shooting mode."
Dean Neuburger
"Super good camera! Silent for
performances, great resolution and great low light capability. Use with the Z
lenses was easy decision, worth the expense!"
Ayla D
"Probably the best digitalcamera I’ve ever owned. Fits perfectly in my hand. The ergonomics are amazing
and the image quality is everything it’s supposed to be. Just love it."
Visionz
"The perfect Nikon mirrorless.
It had all the features and proven autofocus of the Z9 with a much more
attractive price tag and stuffed it in a body that felt more like a D850 than
the previous Z6-Z7II bodies. Finally i got a camera that was worthy of the
Nikon name."
Charles C. Russell
"Amazing camera. I'm moving up
from a Nikon D780, and the Z8 is so much better. Amazing camera for action as
well as nature photography."
Chris
"Best camera I have ever owned. This does everything, and it does it very well. I use it for airshows, aviation, and landscape photography. The autofocus, subject tracking, and image stabilization are just fantastic."
Bottom Line
The Nikon Z8 is
a revolutionary camera that sets a new standard for professional photography
and videography. With its impressive features, advanced autofocus system, and
