Altogether, the Z8 looks mightily impressive. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
Great video, all the best for the back surgery. I have been a long time D850 user and more recently a Z7 user. I love both. I love the weight of the Z7 (or lack there of), but do not like the lack of a sensor cover. The lack of the second card slot has never been an issue for me, but it only takes one failed card to make a bad day. So I did order and received a Z8 last week and took it on a quick trip for 2 days of photography. It is indeed a D850 replacement. The added benefit is the (what I consider) better lenses on the Z platform. As you mention, using the menus is a breeze if you are a current Nikon owner. The sensor is nothing short of sensational, the feel of the camera in the hand is great. I look forward to many great adventures with my Z8.
there is an unfortunate typo in the article the bullet point section it should say 1,000 plus image buffer
Thank you! Appreciate it.
No worries. one of the more hilarious typos
