Nikon Z 8 With FTZ II Mount Adapter

This is everything you want in a full-frame hybrid camera. Image quality, precision, flexibility… And a compact, lightweight body. Video to stills. Commissions to passion projects. Don’t just create. Thrive.

Compact Body. Flagship Performance.

The Z 8 brings the feature set of the Z 9 to a body that is 30% smaller than the Z 9 and 15% smaller than the D850. The full frame, 45MP stacked CMOS sensor and impressive dynamic range. The phenomenal deep-learning AF system, and a subject- and eye-detection hit rate you can rely on. The blackout-free Real-Live Viewfinder and 4-axis tilting monitor. Video, stills, or both. You have the freedom to innovate while the Z 8 reliably nails every shot.

Astounding Agility for Video and Stills.

New ideas, tight budgets, fast turnarounds. Small setup or a full rig. However and wherever you create, the Z 8’s flexibility will keep your projects flowing. Record stunning 8K or 4K video straight out of the camera at an array of frame rates, including slow motion. Capture exquisite 45.7 MP stills even if shooting by starlight. There are separate display interfaces for video and stills, and menus rotate if shooting vertically.

8.3K/60p 12-bit RAW. In-Camera.

Nikon's N-RAW creates files that are half the size of a ProRes RAW HQ file. Works for video up to 8.3K/60p or 4.1K/120p.

Codecs Galore.

Work with N-RAW, ProRes RAW HQ, ProRes 422HQ, MOV H.265, or MP4 H.264. N-Log and HLG shooting modes.

Full-HD Proxy Files. In-Camera.

Save time in edits. The Z 8 records Full HD proxy files when shooting internal 8.3K N-RAW or 4.1K ProRes RAW HQ.

Blazing Fast 120fps for Stills.

Never miss the decisive moment. You can shoot 11MP stills at an insanely fast 120fps, or 45.7 MP stills at an action-freezing 60fps or 30fps. All with full AF and AE performance and no viewfinder blackout.

More Control Over Portraits.

Save time in post by making adjustments as you shoot. Portrait Impression Balance lets you fine-tune hue and brightness. Skin Softening softens the look of skin while keeping eyes and hair sharp.

Pre-Release Capture.

Photographing events? The Z 8 gives your reaction time a boost by recording for up to a second before you take a shot. Fleeting gestures, unpredictable subjects: you’ll nail the moments you might have missed.

Embrace Backlight. Love the Dark.

Night scenes and backlit portraits? You can trust the Z 8’s intelligent AF system. Faces are in focus even if the scene is strongly backlit. Subject detection and AF work down to ˗9 EV in Starlight mode.

Hi-Res 2x Zoom for 4K Video.

Zoom with prime lenses while filming! The Z 8 can emulate a 2x optical zoom, in camera and in real time. There’s no image degradation, and you can program three different zoom speeds.

Adapt to Any Setup.

Weighing just 910 g (approx), the full-frame Z 8 is comfortable to hold, and it balances perfectly on any rig. Nikon's MC-N10 Remote Grip allows precise control of the camera. And partner accessories, from gimbals to mics and more, help nail any shoot.

Any Weather. Any Conditions.

The Z 8 full-frame mirrorless camera is built to travel wherever your ideas take you. Full, high-performance weather sealing reliably keeps out dust, dirt, and moisture. The same cold tolerance as both the D6 and the Z 9 means you can shoot reliably in temperatures down to -10°C/14°F. Come rain, come ice, come snow-you can still go.

Sensor Coatings and VR Lock.

An electro-conductive coating repels dust while a fluorine coating makes it easy to wipe the sensor clean. For further protection, you can activate the camera's sensor shield to close automatically when you remove a lens. When you turn the camera off, a VR lock keeps the sensor securely in place to prevent jostling if traveling over rough terrain.

Two USB-C Ports. Dual Card Slots.

Two USB terminals let you transfer files quickly while charging the camera. The USB communication port supports USB-LAN and USB-C to Ethernet. The USB power delivery port supports USB-C charging. Dual card slots offer flexible shooting and storage, accepting high-performance XQD and CFexpress Type B cards as well as SD cards.

A System to Match Your Vision.

The full-frame Z 8 is a creative powerhouse, and its flexibility doesn’t end with the camera. There’s a NIKKOR Z lens for every idea and budget, while the FTZ mount adapter lets you use DSLR lenses too.
