Z8 can 8k 60p

Very good advice to hold both in your hands … when I did that I instantly chose the Z9. The size and controls just fit perfectly in your hands, while the Z8 is too small to hold comfortably and has no vertical controls. The best features of the Z9 are the all day battery life, the built in GPS, the 2 identical high speed card slots, without overheating, and the vertical grip. The Z9 is smaller than the Z8 when the Z8 is equally gripped. So save your money on the massive grip, extra batteries, and external GPS … and use that money to reduce the cost difference. I own Z8 as well, as a backup body, but it cannot perform to the same level as the Z9. I will never get that monstrous grip for the Z8. Both are great cameras, but I find the Z9 to be very small compared to my previous F mount bodies. I just grab the camera, and don’t have to worry about batteries, grips, etc. So much easier and I am starting to get used to the smaller size of the Z9.

do you wish it had a zoom lock and or vibration reduction?

Bro I was expecting a video that compares the two cameras in the field not a spec comparison

Thanks for the very helpful video! I’m upgrading from the D750 I’ve been using since 2015. I’m really into astrophotography but landscape and wildlife (especially birds) are up there too. I also wanted the 45mp this time around, so the Z8 does it for me.

Does z6iii really excel z8 in video quality? I need to decide in short amount of time. I am not fully video or stills guy but I don't want to lose in video quality despite paying 1000$ more to z8. The wildlife footages taken with low mp cameras (sony fx3 and nikon z6iii too) always astonishes me when I see in instagram (not sure if it is about editing or camera being dedicated to video). I mean biggest discourage for z6iii for me is flip screen which I don't feel comfortable in low level recording/shooting. Otherwise I could be ok with it mostly.

Najbardziej w nikonie Z brakuje auto focus bracketing 😢 tak jak to jest w OM system. 😢😢😢

Do even take pics or just talk a good game brown nosing the brand yer upselling

i bought used z8 2 days ago, very good deal only if seller remember to put the adapter with it now i have a z8 and a f mount 70-300.

For me, the grip on Z8 is the most comfortable I have ever held. Sensor shield is great for outdoor prime shooters.

What is the max LCD screen magnification in live mode for star focusing?

What is the max LCD screen magnification in live mode for star focusing?

Thanks a lot, if only I would have seen this before my trip to Himalayas!

write speed to 2 CF Express is a major factor for me for burst shooting. I prefer the Z9 due to the speed increase over SD cards

I was just getting ready to trade my Z5 up to the Z7II for Astrophotography. Should I keep my Z5? I love it otherwise, but landscape and Astro are all I will shoot ever again, as I have retired from weddings/commercial/etc., and just shooting for ME now ! :) Please advise me, as I am a complete neophyte to Astrophotography. Thanks!

Once you go into the menu to set up the number of shots and F stops to use, do you know if this can be saved to one of the user custom buttons?

For some odd reason I have that lens and the z7 ii, but it won’t capture a picture unless there is a light or a light source illuminating the foreground. When I point it at the night sky and it’s dark the camera will not take the picture. Is it on a certain setting that I have to switch off? Is it trying to focus on something and can’t do it won’t take the picture? And I need to turn the focus off, please help :😢

Thanks for a well-explained review. You covered a lot of relevant ground fairly succinctly. Switch from Canon DSLR over to Nikon so this helps a lot.

also how many MP are in DX mode in Z6III?

Ups. I think the Z8 has 4 axis tilting screen not dual!

But you shouldn’t use infinity focus…..

I like the Z8, but I would prefer a smaller sized camera body. In your opinion do you think there is still a need, and space in the lineup for a Z7iii to come out?

Z5>>>

I bought Z8 2 days ago.. I'm in love with my Z8 now..❤

What’s your opinion on the Astro performance? Is it as good as the Z6i or ii?

Z9 and call it a day!

i think that the interval is the total time between exposures, you dont have to count the time of the exposure plus the saving time. i mean if i want to take a timelapse startrail of 30s exposures i just put in the exposure time 30s and in the interval i can put .5s or 1s and then it will take that many picuteres with only .5 s between each shot.

I find it to be a bit overpriced, the 24-200 ends up being quite similar but it costs 35/40% less on the second hand market. The 200S is probably 15% better at 24MP, probably 25% at 45MP So if you are shooting 24MP, Its simply not that much of an upgrade vs the cheaper 200... It comes down to trading stops for reach But then again, you will rarely ever shoot at less than F4 outdoors...

Awesome Review,! Very informative, thanks for the great detail in both of these camera's... Very nicely done!

Focus stacking? I think you mean Focus Bracketing. With Nikon, Focus Stacking is done in post, not in the camera. I really wish reviewers would figure out the difference.

Z7 with Z20mm lens tried this and it did not work. My camera is set up for back button focus would that matter??

Can Z8 shoot 240fps in 1080P? I thought only Z6iii could do but not Z8 🤔

For aviation photography I use the Nikon z8 with the Nikkor z 180-600. Actually, the lens is also my sports and wildlife lens. This lens works best at golden hour light and beyond at f8 for its sweet spot. Not THAT heavy to hold with the z8 but at the end of the air show your arms are tired. Some airshows the flybys are close so 600mm is too much. Again, amazing at F8 how sharp this lens gets.

Dude, you said both cams (>$2500) have an electronic viewfinder 2.1 million dots! I was surprised and had to check the specs. The Z6-III's EVF is 5.76 m dots. You have Zero credibility for making a mistake on such a significant spec.

My choice was Z8 or fujifilm GFX I chose GFX ..but the Z8 IS an excellent camera Meduim format is actually more difficult to use. Image quality was my priority and i love TWO GFXs The GFX 100S II Weighs 883 grams too. I hited a z8 and while i liked the images it wasn't a massive leap from the D850 thats because the D850 is so good

What’s up with the empty bed in all of your vids? Really weird.

Couldn't find many straight forward videos on locking infinity focus on Nikon z. This is important info, thank you.

I have a Nikon Z8 and I have a question about powering the camera with this Power Bank. Do I need to have a battery in the camera to power the camera with the power bank, and which of the two USB-C ports on the power bank do I use to connect to the camera?

Nikon z6 or zf .?, thanks for the video sir

What is the quality of the viewfinder when shooting in low light or stars at night?

0:39 to avoid this, do what I do, when my wife ask how much the lens cost, I only mention the taxes. ;o)

Great video well explained , I have never bracketed. But I will the next time I’m out. Thank you. Great vid

Have you ever used bracketing to take a photo?

You omitted one key detail in the overheating. It's not the camera, its the cheap cards.

2 questions (forgive me if they're dumb questions, or if I missed something in the vid) - What's the difference between using Interval Timer with the video output option, and the other Time Lapse Movie option? I'm guessing the latter does not save individual files? - Also curious about sunrise time lapse settings. How do you determine the best exposure triangle settings for the end, when the sun is up and it's bright? Sunset - much easier 🙂

I have the Z7ii and the Z9 and prefer the latter for its weight. When I picked up the Z7ii (I believe it is comparable to the Z8), it was too light, and I wanted the feel of a solid camera. The Z9 is a beast, and I love it. If it's about money, the Z8 is the go-to option.

Good video man thanks

Great review 👏

"Long Exposure Noise Reduction" reduces mostly hot pixels and sensor noise. You'll probably want this because of the improved image quality and fewer hot pixels (stuck to bright red, green or blue). Yes, it takes a bit of time. But personally I would leave it on. If I'm in a hurry, I might turn it off for exposures of 10 seconds or more.
