Technology continues to advance and make our lives easier. For example, cameras that were once quite large can now be found in flagship phones such as the iPhone 14 Pro or the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Although the quality of these smartphone cameras improves slightly with each new model, they still do not satisfy professionals. This is where manufacturers like Nikon come in. The company has long been known for producing camera models that cater to more demanding customers. According to recent information, Nikon is working on the New Z8 model, which will be a smaller version of the world’s best professional camera. Here are the details…
Upcoming Nikon Z8 Rumored to be a Compact, High-Performance Alternative to the Z9
Nikon has been making waves in the camera market with its recently released Z9 model. The device has received rave reviews from critics and is renowned as one of the best cameras by photographers. The company is now working on a new model, with leaked information revealing details about the eagerly anticipated Nikon Z8. The Z8 is expected to deliver high-performance features in a smaller, more compact package than the Nikon Z9.
Additionally, the Nikon Z8 is set to feature the same 45.7MP stacked sensor as the Z9, providing high-resolution images. The camera is expected to offer burst shooting at 20 FPS for RAW photos and up to 120 FPS for JPEGs. Both cameras reportedly share a 1/32,000-second shutter speed, as well as a native ISO range of 64-25,600 and the ability to record 8K video at 60 FPS.
One of the main differences between the two models is the Z8’s smaller size and lighter weight. It is anticipated to weigh under a kilogram and measure 144 x 118 x 83 mm (5.6 x 4.6 x 3.2 inches). The Z8 is also expected to offer improved dust and moisture resistance compared to the Z9, similar to the protection provided by the Nikon D850. The camera is rumored to feature a 3.2-inch LCD screen on its rear.
Another notable aspect of the Nikon Z8 is its built-in 5-axis image stabilization with six stops. The release date for the Nikon Z8 is still uncertain, but Nikon Rumors speculates that it may launch either in early May or sometime in August.
