Those are very good points. I've owned Z7, Z9, and Z8, and I agree with your take on them when it comes to landscape photography.
If you can buy the Z7ii used like I did for $2k (with less than 5k shutter count) then it makes a lot of sense. But if you're buying new the Z8 is a no-brainer.
Exactly.
Excellent video.I fully agree with all your points.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review and comparison. I'm curious to know if you could give me some idea of battery life as it relates to only landscape shoots. I currently use the z7ii and can go on one battery a day for a landscape shoot. Does the Z8 compare?
It feels similar or maybe very slightly worse than the z7ii. I just did a 4 hour or so shoot the other day and was down to 1 bar on a single battery. That being said I don’t do much to mitigate battery drain (I just keep a lot of batteries on hand) so I’ll bet you could squeeze a full day out of it.
Very good info on the Z8. What is your feelings regarding Nikon glass vs Cannon RF glass.?
For landscape, I feel like Nikon wins. The 14-24 is better (slightly) than the 15-35. The 24-120 is much much better than canon’s 24-105. Canon takes a bit of a w with their 100-500, but I have a second copy of the Nikon 100-400 that performs as well as any telephoto I have ever used between 100-300 (sharper than my 70-200). But that’s just the high end glass. Nikon also has a 14-30, 17-28, 28-75, 70-180, 24-200, 70-300 (tamron). Canon has the 14-35. I have shot some of my favorite landscapes with canon, but right now as a system I feel like Nikon is bringing more to the table.
Without doing testing that basically requires a camera failure, weather sealing tends to be a 'comfort' and 'confidence' determination rather than something we measure. Do you have a sense of how your confidence in the weather sealing of the Z8 and A7RV compare?
I have only used the a7rv a little bit, but I feel more confident in the z8. Nikon does a good job making their cameras FEEL very robust and weather sealed in a way that Sony doesn’t. That being said I have used both brands extensively and have never had an issue with either. Sony cameras are notorious for getting water in the hot shoe causing errors and corrosion so I have always kept a hot shoe cover in my Sonys.
@@summitbid Thanks
Z9 have the Starlight mode also?
It does!
I think you forgot to mention that the Z9 also has built-in GPS which is really nice for landscape photography.
That’s interesting… I have never really used that for landscape… how do you implement gps?
@@summitbid Just turn the gps on in the z9 and it puts the info into the meta and lightroom will read and show on a map.
Take a selfie, save in your phone and you have gps 😂
Lol, that’s an option. I have made several
Go to books though with maps beside them showing the location on map from the gps. Makes it nice and easy

I love my z8, especially for night photography. The starlight mode is straight up magical. Gone are the days of taking a million test shots to compose in the dark. THe warm mode is nice, but I find it impossible to see the focus point, so I turned it off. Hopefully nikon can firmware update the camera so only the focus point shows in white while in warm mode. I also really wish the extended shutter mode was in third stop increments rather than the how disorganized it is not, really frustrating to work with at the moment and I have no idea who thought that was a good idea to have a full stop, then half stop, then third stops when going from 30 sec to 15 minutes
Thanks for these points. Did you upgrade from an older Z system or DSLR (850)? I currently have a Z7ii which i absolutely love, and am just wondering if it is worth it to upgrade to Z8. I really would like some of the things on the Z8 to be on Z7ii, like a tilting screen while on Tripod for portrait mode, and backlit buttons. But just not sure that is worth the $2K upgrade cost. Do you really like the Z8, and how is the weight of it on hikes, and such? Thanks again!
