Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera - Brand New review
Nikon has heralded the Z8 as the natural successor to the Nikon D850 – a DSLR that’s proved hugely popular with enthusiast photographers since its launch in 2017 – and it’s a fitting accolade. The Z8 is the Nikon camera that makes the most sense for most serious photographers.- Same cutting-edge stacked sensor as Z9, Body design makes more sense than Z9 for most people, Excellent video features
- Limited battery life, Lower-resolution EVF than rivals, In-body image stabilization is only okay
Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera - Brand New review
While there are photographers who like a dual-gripped camera, plenty prefer the smaller size and lower weight of a single-gripped camera with the option to add an upright grip if needed.- Smaller & lighter body than Nikon Z9, Advanced AF system with subject detection, Weatherproof build
- No mechanical shutter, Shorter battery life than Nikon Z9

Here are four other great options that photographers will enjoy. These lenses are all larger and have a faster aperture than our choice. But for some photographers, these might be the best lens for the Nikon z8 because of image quality, balance, or affordability.
Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera - Brand New review
The Nikon Z8 offers both speed and resolution whether we're talking photography or video. It can do pretty much everything Nikon's flagship Z9 can do, but in a more compact body and at a much better price.- 47.5MP stacked sensor, 20 fps burst shooting in RAW, Up to 8K60 / 4K120 video recording, Internal ProRes and N RAW
- Awful artificial shutter sound, Tilting screen is not ideal for video
Nikon Z8 review: a supercharged D850 successor
The Z8 brings the speed and autofocus capability of the Z9 to a smaller, more affordable body to deliver a camera that will support you in almost any photographic pursuit. It's a touch larger than its rivals but every facet of its abilities seems to be a match for those peers. It's perhaps the most complete camera we've yet tested.- Sports, wildlife, photojournalism, landscapes...
- Travel photography where size and weight are critical.
