Nikon Z Z8 Black

★★★★★ 4.8 (421)

A 45.7MP stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor enable 120fps burst shooting and internal 8K/60p N-RAW video in a body 30% smaller than the Z9. Its 493-point AF with subject detection and 5-axis IBIS provide reliable focus and stabilization for both fast action and handheld recording. This camera is ideal for wedding, sports, and hybrid shooters who demand flagship speed and 8K video without the bulk.
