Nikon Z 8 Mirrorless Camera Body 

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.
