Is the Nikon Z8 the best mirrorless camera yet?

Nikon’s newest $3,999,95 mirrorless camera, the Z8, has a full-frame Stacked CMOS sensor that, thanks to the Expeed 7 Image Processor, can shoot RAW photos at 20FPS for over 1000 frames. There is also auto-focus readings up to 120FPS and impressive video specs: 12-bit N-RAW at 8k 60FPS or 4k 120FPS. And if all of that sounds very familiar it’s because the Nikon Z8 is almost the exact same camera as the Nikon Z9, but in a much smaller body and even lower price. The new Nikon Z8 will be available on May 25, 2023 for $3, and the external MB-N12 battery grip will be available in May for $. 0:00 Nikon Z8 who? 0:39 A bit about the Nikon Z9 1:25 Z8 Hardware 1:55 Z8 software 2:40 Things Nikon should have fixed 3:50 Things we don’t know about the Z8 4:19 Overall thoughts on the Z8 Read more: Subscribe: Like The Verge on Facebook: Follow on Twitter: Follow on Instagram: Follow on TikTok: The Vergecast Podcast: Decoder with Nilay Patel: More about our podcasts: Read More: Community guidelines: Wallpapers from The Verge: Subscribe to The Vergecast on YouTube, new episodes on Wednesday and Friday:
