Nikon Z8
2023 · 45.7 MP · 35.9 x 23.9 mm · 910 g · 8.3K 60p RAW (8256 x 4644); 4K 120p
The Nikon Z8 brings the Z9's flagship performance into a smaller body for professionals in wildlife, sport, weddings and video production. Three things stand out: a 45.7 MP stacked sensor, bursts of 20 fps in RAW (30 fps in JPEG), and internal 8.3K RAW video at up to 60p plus 4K at 120p. Autofocus uses 493 hybrid points with subject detection, and the body has 5-axis stabilisation. Compared with the Z9 it weighs 910 g instead of 1,340 g and drops the integrated vertical grip, which also means a smaller battery.
