Nikon Z8 Z8 Black
The 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor and all-electronic shutter enable 120fps burst capture with minimal rolling shutter distortion, while recording internal 8K 10-bit RAW video in N-RAW and ProRes RAW. Bundled with the FTZ II mount adapter, it adapts to F-mount lenses, and deep learning autofocus with subject detection reliably tracks moving subjects. This camera suits hybrid shooters prioritizing high-resolution stills and 8K video production without a mechanical shutter.
