Hands-On Images of the Nikon Z8

By Spencer Cox 3 Comments
Published On May 10, 2023

We’ve gotten our hands on some hands-on photos of the Nikon Z8 being used in the field. This should give you a sense of the camera’s size, shape, weatherproofing, and illuminated buttons. In practice, it’s about the size of the D850 (a bit smaller).

About Spencer Cox

I'm Spencer Cox, a landscape photographer based in Colorado. I started writing for Photography Life a decade ago, and now I run the website in collaboration with Nasim. I've used nearly every digital camera system under the sun, but for my personal work, I love the slow-paced nature of large format film. You can see more at my personal website and my not-exactly-active Instagram page.

I ordered a Z8, I think it’s an incredible bargain. I ordered from Nikon USA, does Nikon usually have a larger stockpile, or should I have ordered from B&H or Adorama to have a better chance of getting one sooner?

I think I like it….I think I love it….I think I like and love it. I think I’ll get one. I think I’ll get two. No…I think I’ll get just one.
