A powerhouse for video. Internal 8K/60p and 4K/120p video
Up to 8K/60p and 4K/120p: All the depth and detail of 12-bit RAW in a file half the size of ProRes RAW HQ files.
Up to 4K/60p: A professional go-to for its flexibility, consistency, and practicality when editing footage taken by different types of cameras all using this codec.
Up to 4K/60p: An industry standard for its rich depth and detail, easy grading, and flexibility to edit on-the-go from a laptop.
Full HD Proxy Files: Simultaneously created in-camera when shooting in ProRes RAW and N-RAW, making editing footage a quicker and smoother process
N-Log Profile: Utilizes extensive color depth and dynamic range to give more control over the look of your final footage.
Compact & Lightweight
Hold the camera more comfortably and move around more smoothly. Take advantage of a lighter camera system when shooting on a gimbal, with fewer cables and less setup time.
Pro Audio
Capture 24 bit linear PCM sound right to the memory card alongside your footage. Compatible with professional XLR microphones using Tascam’s digital adapter CA-XLR2d-AN (sold separately).
Expandable with Accessories
Nikon proudly partners with leading innovative brands to minimize the gear you need for a shoot and bring the best experience to the Z 8.
A dream for photography. 45.7MP stills, more flexible than ever.
RAW 14-bit: Capture the full dynamic range, color and image information captured by the Z 8’s exceptional 45.7MP full-frame sensor.
High Efficiency RAW 14-bit: Retain the outstanding image quality of traditional RAW with approximately 1/3 smaller file size.
HEIF 10-bit: Richer tonal gradation than JPEG with increased luminance at a comparable file size. Great for stills and creating 8K HLG time-lapse videos in-camera.
Blazing fast frame rates.
With unrivaled burst speeds and a seemingly bottomless buffer the Z 8 gives you the edge when photographing birds, sports, weddings and once-in-a-lifetime moments. Features 20 fps RAW and JPEG, 30 fps JPEG Fine, 60 fps JPEG Normal DX Crop Mode and 120 fps 11MP JPEG.
All-electronic shutter with no moving parts.
Performs at lighting-fast speeds with no vibration, noise or wear and tear and virtually no rolling shutter distortion.
Recover the shots you missed with Pre-Release Capture. The Z 8 can record the moments before and after you actually press the shutter release button, saving shots that would otherwise have been missed.
