Nikon Z Z8 Black 2023
{ "review": "Il sensore Stacked CMOS full-frame da 45,7MP e lo scatto a 30 fps meccanici, con AF a 493 punti e rilevamento occhi/animali, offrono reattività da ammiraglia in un corpo tropicalizzato più piccolo del 30% rispetto alla Z9. La registrazione video 8.3K 60p N-RAW e 4.1K 60p ProRes RAW interna a 10-bit, abbinata al mirino OLED da 3,7 milioni di punti senza blackout, garantisce la massima flessibilità in post-produzione. È la scelta perfetta per videomaker ibridi e youtuber che alternano foto e video 8K/4K120p con stabilizzazione IBIS a 5 stop, in un package da 820g ottimale per l'uso su gimbal." }
