Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera

The Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera incorporates the same stacked CMOS sensor featuring 45.7 effective megapixels as the Z 9. This enables incredibly fast scanning speeds making it possible to minimize rolling-shutter distortion while eliminating the need for a mechanical shutter. Nikon’s most advanced image-processing engine, EXPEED 7, processes a vast amount of data and enables next-generation features like the Real-Live Viewfinder, powerful AF, 120fps Pre-Release Capture, High Efficiency RAW, in-camera 8.3K/60p N-RAW, 4K UHD/120p, and more.

Nikon Z8 brings groundbreaking subject detection and AF performance. It's powerful AF algorithm automatically detects and tracks nine subject types — people (eye, face, head, upper body), dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, and planes. The detection performance in dimly lit situations, such as indoors and at sunsets, has also been enhanced.

The powerful EXPEED 7 engine allows the Z 8 to detect faces even as small as 3% of the frame’s long edge. This is very useful for wide-angle portraiture and it also allows videographers to capture a person approaching from a distance, keeping the AF on them as they run toward the camera from a starting point.

The Z 8 enables extended recording up to 125 min. in 4K UHD/60p and up to 90 min. in 8K UHD/30p without overheating. With its smaller and lighter body than the Z 9, it is suitable for demanding all-day weddings and long, fly-on-the-wall documentaries.

Two card slots, gives you a choice according to your shooting needs. One slot takes industry-leading CFexpress Type B cards or XQD memory cards. While the second slot takes the more widely available SD (UHS-II) cards, which have a great balance of writing speed and cost.

Stacked CMOS sensor with minimal rolling shutter distortion

The Z 8 incorporates the same stacked CMOS sensor featuring 45.7 effective megapixels as the Z 9. Among the world’s fastest scanning speeds makes it possible to minimize rolling-shutter distortion while eliminating the need for a mechanical shutter.

Exquisite image-processing – Expeed 7 Processor.

The Z 8 is equipped with Nikon’s most advanced image-processing engine, EXPEED 7. It processes a vast amount of data and enables next-generation features like the Real-Live Viewfinder, powerful AF, 120fps Pre-Release Capture, High Efficiency RAW, in-camera 8.3K/60p N-RAW, 4K UHD/120p, and more.

Groundbreaking subject detection and AF performance — even better than before

The powerful AF algorithm automatically detects and tracks nine subject types — people (eye, face, head, upper body), dogs, cats, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trains, and planes. The detection performance in dimly lit situations, such as indoors and at sunsets, has also been enhanced. Together with fast AF calculation and constant, rapid communication between the camera body and the NIKKOR Z lenses, the Z 8 offers high AF performance in a variety of shooting scenes.

The powerful EXPEED 7 engine allows the Z 8 to detect faces even as small as 3% of the frame’s long edge. This is very useful for wedding scenes when you want to shoot the couple in an expansive landscape and keep them in sharp focus. The function also allows videographers to capture a person approaching from a distance, keeping the AF on them as they run toward the camera from a starting point.
