Pros: Ergonomics, operating speed construction

Cons: Absolutely nothing

Opinion: Busted a few days ago by changing it with a ZF that despite being a great car, has disappointing ergonomics compared to today's modern stains. Operationally very fast, very fast settings and quite intuitive if you come from the Nikon world, what to add is a great machine built like a tank and beautiful and fast, the noise of the shutter makes me laugh a bit but this was inevitable with only the electronic shutter. We'll see how it behaves in use, for now let's give 10

Pros: Ergonomics, speed, image quality, possible customizations, buffers, firmware updates

Cons: Battery definitely not at reflex levels but with a couple the day is taken home, I think it's physiological of ML. Ditto the price, it costs but it's worth what you pay

Opinion: My first camera bought new, after other nikon cameras always used. I came from the Z6 II (which was still excellent) and you can see the jump. First of all in the body, large and almost reflex-like, with many more keys than its little sister, well positioned and customizable for every need, a substantial camera in the hand that fits like a glove. There are also differences in the general responsiveness, in the 20 fps which for the shooting is more than enough, the banks to create pre-set settings for four different scenarios and above all the autofocus, which is really and finally reliable, as well as being able to focus even at night (almost). Obviously there is also a difference in the price, but I think that given the quality of the product, it costs the right amount. It has a lot of scattered goodies, for example I find very convenient the STAR function that allows you to illuminate the scene even in the dark so as to allow easier management of the scene with very little light. The firmware updates give hope that it will get even better, version 2.0 has added dedicated bird af and pixel shift, just to name a couple, which makes me even happier with the purchase. I spend very few words on the image file which is simply gorgeous, as nikon has accustomed us, and I find the 45.7 mpixel a perfect point.

Pros: Ergonomics; Speed: Almost immediate ignition; Autofocus a step ahead.

Cons: You have to have a lot of money set aside for both you and the Z optics. The battery in my opinion is undersized, it drains too quickly for those who do sports or birdlife.

Opinion: After years of golden service with the D800, I bought the Nikon Z6II, an excellent camera, compact, light and of great quality, but it lacked that feeling of professional body and "flab" in the hand to which all of us marpoons of the brand were accustomed. And finally Nikon woke up from the coma and pulled out the Z8 and Z9... THANK YOU NIKON. Now here we are.... Coming from Nikon Z6II, I can't help but notice, in addition to the aforementioned superior level ergonomics, a finally decent speed in turning on the camera (now it's fast). Also, from a technical point of view, it's scary both for AF and fps in continuous shooting. Shooting at 20fps you don't notice it and you take 1500 shots. On the video side, same story, crazy. Finally N-LOG profile and so on and so forth put as options, codecs etc., something that was absolutely missing on the Z6II that forced me to use Sony for the video side. The only thing I can't understand is why in the latest firmware update they didn't include the birds option like on the Z9. This bothers me a lot because seeing the difference on z9 between before and after, there is an abyss. Why not give the Z8 this update as well? In general, it is really a machine that will last over the years and will give us a lot of satisfaction.

Pros: Really Everything, a beautiful Nikon ML

Cons: Maybe the battery life. but no worse than other MLs on the market

Opinion: It took me a while before I could write anything about my "definitive" purchase, which completely distanced me from even my beloved Nikon APS-C ML. Astonishing autofocus, speed and safety in locking on to moving subjects, to tell the truth no uncertainty shown on all occasions used, stressed with marine birds both in close mode and with telephoto optics. Intuitive menus, but I expect updates that complement the promised features. It churns out some really nice Files, excellent impact even at high iso despite the many Megapixels. I'll be brief..... It has everything you could want in a camera. Heavy enough, initially I was scared brandishing it, because I don't use a shoulder strap, I like to grip it with a safety strap on my wrist and to tell the truth it was not felt very much in all the excursions made, and above all well balanced even with the 70-200 or with the 100-400, two optics that enhance the speed characteristics of the z8. Received already without the recall of the flange, but with the recall of the eyelets, in 4 days sent and received, just to have no psychological qualms. I really like !!!

Pros: Autofocus, ergonomics, aesthetics considering it's an ML, excellent files as a range.

Cons: Ouch...... Batteries for those who do birdlife are never enough, a few episodes of loss of focus in the tracking field but when it locks on it is always on the eye.

Opinion: After a couple of months I think I have acquired a minimum of useful information to say what my completely personal feelings are. The least appreciated thing was the autonomy of the batteries in the birdlife sessions with moving subjects, very poor too much I would say but I hope for a firmware update since the first one did not give any effect. The autofocus is magnificent but not infallible, you have to make an ideal configuration for every situation but in some cases it happened to me that it did not perfectly lock the subject on the eyes but most of the time it does its job well. Those who say that at high ISO it is like the Z6 II perhaps did not do comparative tests on the exact same scene at the same time, having both bodies and having taken the same shots to verify the differences I can say that the younger sister I find it "cleaner" after ISO 6000 where the Z8 makes the files plasticky and unpleasant for me. At the moment I'm ignoring the question because all the optics in my possession have never had any hooking problem and I don't use the strap rings because the camera for most of the time remains fixed on the gimbal therefore without strap. For hand use I found the handle very ergonomic, in fact at the presentation at the end of July, where I picked it up for the first time, it took a couple of minutes to decide that it would be my decisive choice. One thing I found really annoying was the fact that both Capture One and Photoshop with Lightroom and Camera Raw didn't read the files to me. NEF, downloaded the latest version of Camera Raw now works as well as co Lightroom are waiting for updated C1. In my opinion, since there is no perfect camera, I evaluate this one with a score of 9.5, maybe a contribution from Nikon at the firmware level will raise the prices, but this is already a lot of stuff.
