Great Camera!
I shoot basketball games and purchased the Z-8 with that in mind. Did after speaking with a colleague about his experience with the Z8 and I have been very happy. Prior to the Z-8 I used a D4S, D500, Z-6 amongst others. I absolutely love the Z8. The autofocus is fantastic, very fast and picks up focus well. The viewfinder is very fast and responsive so no flicker or blanking while shooting – really just like shoot with a DSLR so it’s very easy to track the action. The images are sharp. ISO range is good and works quite well at higher ISO – allows me to shoot using an F4 lens that I have instead of having to use my 2.8. The auto-iso seems to work pretty well though I don’t need it for indoor basketball with fixed lighting and manual shooting. I do enjoy the specialize focus for where it can grab the eye point for focus. I use that more for non-sports. Not heavy and not too big, easy to carry. You can add a vertical grip to make it more like a Z-9 but it’s basically the same camera without the vertical grip (so I understand). This is the best camera I own now. The autofocus is really good from what I have scene and I don’t think anyone would be disappointed if they purchased one.

Nikon….Bye Bye.
Excellent camera on paper but in reality, it’s more marketing than anything else on many aspects! The video image quality is superb but that doesn’t make it a video camera but more a very good camera! So yes, the technical sheet makes you dream, 8k60 nraw, pro res raw, 4k oversampled, 4k120 without crop, almost zero rolling shutter, very good in low light and robust body but in reality and me who was looking for a camera for video mainly, I turned to Nikon, after having moved from Sony and Lumix but what a mistake! in my opinion and according to what I’m obviously looking for, Nikon is an excellent brand but they are years behind Lumix for video, autofocus on a gimbal with fast rear movements, are a disaster even with a native lens and specific settings, the Z8’s autofocus is far behind Lumix S5IIX in video, except in low light, the body is made of plastic so it heats up a lot! I tried several types of cf express but where I am it’s hot it’s impossible to film a video shoot outdoors! In short Lumix’s strong point is to make their cameras compatible with SSDs but Nikon will not do it because they will not be able to do it on their range above Z9, in any case for me it’s a first on Nikon and the last time, paying 4000usd for a video camera, which limits you in your actions, it’s not worth it. Bad AF video, overheating, cf express too expensive, N-log to rec709 weak compared to v-log and s-log3, believe me stay away from Nikon cameras for the moment!, I’ll come back one day maybe but not now.UPDATE>Ok, I’m coming back to the z8’s autofocus, I almost sold it and I still decided to buy the 50mm 1.4 z, a latest-gen native lens, to see how the AF works and I have to say that in video, it’s now very, very good! it manages to surpass my s5IIX in autofocus, after some research, I saw a lot of possibilities to improve the camera that heats up, like a Zitay SSD to the express cf or Exascend pro or element pro cards for example with lower voltage 1.25v at 400mb/s, so this card should be the best for this camera, I’ll get back to you on that soon but in practice in h265 or Nraw 4k 30p, you can film for more than 2 hours without the camera emitting a signal which is a pretty good sign! I also improved the Nlog to the rec709 on Davinci resolve because the one given by Nikon was bad! with just a few options on the software and the use of RED luts, it becomes very very good. in short, with patience… so I change my rating, only morons don’t change their opinion.

If you can get this, GET IT!
Long time Nikon shooter and they really out did themselves with this camera. 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. This camera is worth every penny IMHO. If you have the $$$$ and are on the fence, believe me you will be so happy you got it. I have only had it a month or so and I am over the moon and soon I will be taking pictures of it. 😀

Sharp images and good for bird photography
Bing change from DSL camera. Impressive with sharpness and burst rate of camera. With proper lenses it produces super sharp images.

Best Camera I have ever owned
Coming from A Z6, this camera is leaps and bounds over the z6way faster focusing and subject detection, I can now shoot 4k 60 for slow motion videosLove the fact that the sender has a cover that protects it when I’m changing lens.I’ve owned for a year and have not fully unleashed it but the few times I’ve used it, I was not disappointed, I won’t need to upgrade to another body anytime soon.

Su capacidad de auto-enfoque en los ojos del sujeto asi como su rapidez, la sensación de robustez, son tantas cosas que son fabulosas en esta camara!
