The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon Z9 Pros: It is a real flagship, with the plus of 45 mpx. Excellent AF (I use it only with Z lenses). Cons: I escape a few clicks from the vertical button, venial sin. Pre-shooting in RAW would be the crowning achievement of my ideal camera. Opinion: I don't think there's much to add to the reviews written by friends before. I would just like to reassure those interested in buying on the merits of the robustness of this camera. A little after its release we read everything and more, due to the breakage of a filler neck (but really only one) that has so worried (who knows why?) the owners of other brands. I have owned this camera for more than a year and it had made me temporarily stop using Z6II (just replaced with Z8 as a second body) so much satisfaction I am using it. I practice a lot of wandering naturalistic and I carry the camera/lens kit hanging from a shoulder strap using the QD system. It tolerates bobbing, shaking, rubbing in the vegetation and I can place it on the ground without much hesitation. It has caught rain, humidity and even a little snow, it has even gotten dirty with mud sometimes. I used it in frost, in strong winds and under the scorching sun... My Z9 is still perfect, not even a small mark. I can reassure you that Z9 is rugged enough for any kind of use. It has fabulous ergonomics and handles very well, it seems lighter than what it actually weighs. Now that I have also taken Z8 I will be able to rest it a little more. I was waiting, in fact, for the release of Z8, because Z9 seemed excessive in everything, but a dear friend who would not use it for a period of time lent it to me for a week. But the week didn't end before I phoned my supplier to cancel the reservation in question of the outgoing Z8 and order a brand new Z9. I am satisfied, indeed, particularly satisfied. If she had the pre-shoot in RAW I would give her 10 with honors. The only reason that would make me give in, in fact, would be the release of a theoretical Z9II with RAW preshooting, AF and everything else I can safely remain as I am, as far as I'm concerned. sent on August 23, 2024 |
 | Nikon Z8 Pros: Ergonomics, stabilization, general speed, AF... Cons: Battery life. Opinion: I also have Z9, which I am very satisfied with and I consider Z8 a more compact replica, but also cheaper, of course. I won't go into the AF, I just say that I consider it of a quality similar to that of Z9, which for me is excellent. I needed a second body and I waited to try the new Z6III first, which is certainly a good camera, but I preferred the 45 mpx of the Z8. The ergonomics are excellent despite not having the body of the flagship, but being used to this I still added the very light L bracket by Leofoto, which has the QD system. The only perceptible difference in use and comparison with Z9 is in the quality of the rings and the switch, which are not as pleasant fluidity. However, nothing limiting. Using two very similar cameras and with the same file is particularly convenient, in my opinion. As it is obvious that both the battery life is evidently different, between the two cameras. I think I'll take a third one to avoid running out of money on some occasion. I used it in a birdlife session under the sun and with temperatures around 34 °, releasing intense gusts for a few hours, but I did not detect alarms of excessive temperature. Heating is a peculiarity that many high-performance cameras have and is complained about as a negative feature even on the Z8, but I think that there must be more extreme conditions than those to which I subjected it. I don't think I need to worry about it too much. I add on the subject of heating: going out with friends who use cards different from mine, always on Z8, we noticed an evident difference in heat of their cards (Angelbird) compared to mine, once extracted, so it would seem to me that the choice of the card can be influential for the purposes of heating the camera. For info I use Prograde Cobalt and Lexar Diamond. Z8 balances very well with the 400 f/4.5, which in kit with Z9 is less comfortable to use, especially on Gimbal. It also balances reasonably well with the 180-600 for which I found a ring with Arca foot and alternative QD mount, finally up to par (Leofoto NFC-01). I am convinced that I have made a good purchase, for what my needs are. In my opinion this Z8 has a decidedly interesting value for money. sent on August 19, 2024 |
