The Nikon Z 8, a genuine masterclass in still and video technology, unlocks a world of opportunities with its 45.7 megapixels stills resolution and 8.3K native video resolution.
Equipped with the same stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the Z 9, the Z 8 delivers exceptional image quality right out of the box, providing creators with maximum adaptability to any workflow.
The Z 8 Full Frame Mirroless Camera offers a variety of frame rates and codecs for recording video, including 12-bit RAW in-camera for video up to 8.3K/60p or 4.1K/120p. For stills photographers, it offers a selection of file sizes and burst speeds, including a staggering 120 fps.
For HDR content creators, the Z 8 supports recording 10-bit HEIF stills and 10-bit HLG video.
Despite its smaller, lighter body, the Nikon Z 8 doesn't compromise on dependability. It offers professional-grade weather sealing and the same cold tolerance as Nikon's flagship D6 and Z9 cameras for reliable performance in colder climates.
The Z 8 is also Nikon's first mirrorless digital camera to feature dual USB-C ports, allowing for swift file transfer while simultaneously charging the device.
Beyond just the camera, there's a NIKKOR Z lens to suit every idea and budget, along with a range of partner accessories from gimbals to mics and more.
Seamless transition from video to stills
The Nikon Z 8 is the ultimate full-frame hybrid camera you've been waiting for. It offers exceptional image quality, precise controls, and the flexibility of a compact, lightweight body. From professional assignments to personal projects, the Z 8 empowers you to not just create; but to thrive.
Compact size with flagship performance
The Z 8 condenses the functionality of the Z9 into a body that is 30% smaller and 15% lighter than the D850. Equipped with a 45 MP stacked CMOS sensor, an outstanding dynamic range, and a reliable deep-learning AF system, the Z 8 offers the freedom to innovate while ensuring every frame is captured reliably and perfectly.
Unmatched agility for video and stills
Whether you're working with a small setup or a full rig, new ideas, tight budgets, or faster turnarounds, the Nikon Z 8's flexibility keeps your projects flowing. Record breathtaking 8K or 4K video directly from the camera at various frame rates, including slow motion, or capture stunning 45.7 MP stills even under starlight. The Z 8 even features separate display interfaces for video and stills, with rotating menus for vertical shooting.
Capture the moment with 120 fps stills
Never miss that crucial moment. The Z 8 allows you to shoot 11 MP stills at an incredible 120 fps, or 45.7 MP stills at 60 fps or 30 fps, all with full AF and AE performance and zero viewfinder blackout.
More control over portraits
Save valuable time in post-production by making adjustments as you shoot. The Z 8's Portrait Impression Balance lets you fine-tune hue and brightness, while Skin Softening enhances the appearance of skin while keeping eyes and hair sharp.
Pre-release capture
Shooting events? The Z 8 enhances your reaction time by recording for up to a second before you take a shot, ensuring you capture those fleeting gestures and unpredictable moments.
Embrace backlight. Meet your new nighttime companion
Finding clarity in the darkness or against a strong backlight is no longer a challenge with the Z 8's remarkably intelligent Autofocus (AF) system. Even with night scenes and backlit portraits, you can trust that the focus will be precisely where it needs to be. Its superior subject detection and AF capabilities work down to an impressive -9 EV in Starlight mode, ensuring your subjects are always in focus.
Harness the power of high-res 2x zoom for 4K video
Experience the power of zoom, even with prime lenses, while filming. The Z 8 is in a class of its own with the ability to simulate a 2x optical zoom in-camera and in real-time. Experience zero image degradation and enjoy the luxury of programming three distinct zoom speeds, a feature that redefines 4K video recording.
A truly amplified system to match your vision
The full-frame Nikon Z 8 is more than just a camera; it's an extension of your creative vision. Its flexibility extends beyond the camera body, offering a NIKKOR Z lens for every creative idea and budget, while the FTZ mount adapter lets you use DSLR lenses too. With dedicated accessories to further broaden your creative horizons, the Z 8 is designed to match and amplify your vision, making it the ultimate creative companion.
