A veritable video and stills powerhouse, the Z 8's 45.7 megapixel stills resolution and 8.3K native video resolution open so many possibilities.
The same stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the Z 9 ensure spectacular image quality straight out of the camera, giving creators maximum flexibility to adjust to any workflow.
Video can be recorded in an array of frame rates and codecs, including in-camera 12-bit RAW for video up to 8.3K/60p or 4.1K/120p. Stills shooters can work with an array of file sizes and burst speeds, including an astounding 120 fps.
For HDR content creators, the camera records 10-bit HEIF stills and 10-bit HLG video.
The smaller, lighter body doesn't sacrifice reliability: the Z 8 boasts pro-grade weather sealing, and the same cold tolerance as Nikon's flagship D6 and Z 9 cameras, ensuring reliable performance in low temperatures.
The Z 8 is also the first Nikon mirrorless camera to feature two USB-C ports, which makes it possible to transfer files quickly while charging.
Beyond the camera, there's a NIKKOR Z lens for every idea and budget, and partner accessories from gimbals to mics and more.
Ready. Action-
This is everything you want in a full-frame hybrid camera. Image quality, precision, flexibility—and a compact, lightweight body. Video to stills. Commissions to passion projects. Don't just create. Thrive.
Compact body. Flagship performance-
The Z 8 brings the feature set of the Z 9 to a body that is 30% smaller than the Z 9 and 15% smaller than the D850. The 45 MP stacked CMOS sensor and impressive dynamic range. The phenomenal deep-learning AF system, and a subject- and eye-detection hit rate you can rely on. The blackout-free Real-Live Viewfinder and 4-axis tilting monitor. Video, stills, or both. You have the freedom to innovate while the Z 8 reliably nails every frame.
Astounding agility for video and stills-
New ideas, tight budgets, fast turnarounds. Small setup or a full rig. However and wherever you create, the Z 8's flexibility will keep your projects flowing. Record stunning 8K or 4K video straight out of the camera at an array of frame rates, including slow motion. Capture exquisite 45.7 MP stills even if shooting by starlight. There are separate display interfaces for video and stills, and menus rotate if shooting vertically.
Blazing fast 120 fps for stills-
Never miss the decisive moment. You can shoot 11 MP stills at an insanely fast 120 fps, or 45.7 MP stills at an action-freezing 60 fps or 30 fps. All with full AF and AE performance and no viewfinder blackout.
More control over portraits-
Save time in post by making adjustments as you shoot. Portrait Impression Balance lets you fine-tune hue and brightness. Skin Softening softens the look of skin while keeping eyes and hair sharp.
Pre-release capture-
Photographing events? The Z 8 gives your reaction time a boost by recording for up to a second before you take a shot.1 Fleeting gestures, unpredictable subjects: you'll nail the moments you might have missed.
Embrace backlight. Love the dark-
Night scenes and backlit portraits? You can trust the Z 8's intelligent AF system. Faces are in focus even if the scene is strongly backlit. Subject detection and AF work down to -9 EV in Starlight mode.
Hi-res 2x zoom for 4K video-
Zoom with prime lenses while filming! The Z 8 can emulate a 2x optical zoom, in camera and in real time. There's no image degradation, and you can program three different zoom speeds.
A system to match your vision-
The full-frame Z 8 is a creative powerhouse, and its flexibility doesn't end with the camera. There's a NIKKOR Z lens for every idea and budget, while the FTZ mount adapter lets you use DSLR lenses too. Dedicated accessories expand what you can do.
