Nikon Z8 Official Sample Photos

Spencer Cox

Alongside the announcement of the Nikon Z8, Nikon also released 22 sample photos, most of which have full EXIF data. I’m publishing all of them below, alongside some crops to show performance at various ISO values (although there aren’t any surprises given that the camera shares the sensor of the Z9).

Keep in mind that we don’t know what file type Nikon’s photographers used when shooting the original photos – it may have been JPEG or HEIF rather than NEF files for example. Nevertheless, I hope you find the following photos informative.
