It delivers up to 5.5 stops of image stabilization (6 with compatible lenses), and the ergonomics are sublime. We’d have liked it to have a fully articulating screen, but the 4-way tilting screen is bright and detailed nonetheless.
On paper, the Nikon Z8 boasts that it can shoot up to 120FPS — but this is limited to 11MP JPEGS. If you want RAW, you’ll get 20FPS, which is still pretty decent. Plus, the stacked 45MP back-illuminated sensor helps to increase readout speeds, so you won’t encounter any issues where the camera can’t keep up. It can also produce crystal clear 8K 60p as well as 4K 120p footage without any issues of overheating or recording limit restraints whatsoever.
This Nikon Z8 deal is the best price we’ve seen since June this year, so it really is worth taking advantage of. The price tends to yo-yo between $4,296 and $3,696, and we don’t know when the price will go back up.
Key features: Full-frame 45.7MP, ISO 64-25,600 (expandable to 102,400), 8K 60p 12-bit, single SD UHS-II and single CFexpress/XQD card, Night Vision Mode, Autofocus down to -9EV.

Buy it if: You own any of the Z6 or Z7 models and are looking to upgrade but have been hesitating about making such a big financial jump.
Don’t buy it if: You’re a beginner at the start of your photographic journey. The Z8 will be overkill, but many other cameras are much better suited to beginners.
