Nikon Z 8 Mirrorless Camera with 24-120mm F4 zoom lens
Get ready to unleash your creative vision like never before with the all-new Nikon Z 8 – the perfect hybrid camera for both video and stills! This camera is a powerhouse of class-leading performance and compact build, packing in all the features you need to bring your ideas to life. Weighing just 910 g, the Z 8 is 30% smaller than its older sibling, the Z 9, and 15% smaller than the D850. It's the perfect choice for creators who want a lighter body for shooting handheld, or for those looking for a full-frame camera that will balance perfectly on any rig or gimbal.
With a whopping 45.7 megapixel stills resolution and 8.3K native video resolution, the Z 8 is the perfect tool to capture stunning visuals. And with the same stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor as the Z 9, you'll get exceptional image quality straight out of the camera. 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. And for stills shooters, the camera offers an array of file sizes and burst speeds, including an astounding 120 fps.
Don't let the smaller, lighter body fool you – the Z 8 is as reliable as they come. Boasting pro-grade weather sealing and cold tolerance similar to Nikon's flagship D6 and Z 9 cameras, you can shoot with confidence in any condition. Plus, the Z 8 is the first Nikon mirrorless camera to feature two USB-C ports, allowing for quick file transfer while charging. And with a range of NIKKOR Z lenses and partner accessories available, the possibilities are endless. So whether you're a professional or just starting out, the Nikon Z 8 is the perfect choice for creators who want to take their work to the next level.

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.
