The Nikon Z8 carries most of the features of the flagship Nikon Z9 in a compact and lightweight body. The camera has the same 45.7 MP as the Z9 and can shoot 8K30p and 4K120p 10-bit video internally. The camera has a maximum burst of 20/30 fps in RAW/JPEG and can go as high as 120 fps for smaller image sizes. The body only carries an electronic shutter with a maximum shutter speed of 1/32000s. This camera is a hybrid, combining the power of the Z9 with the portability of a smaller body, making it suitable for handheld as well as gimbal-mounted use.
