Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera with 24-120mm f/4 Lens and FTZ II Adapter Kit

Great upgrade from my D750. Works really well, super fast autofocus and the ftz adapter works well for my F mount lenses both Nikon and Tamron. This is not a small and light camera though even though it is mirrorless. It is pretty much the same size as my D750. The controls are nice and easy to use coming from a long line of Nikon digital cameras: D750, D7100, D50. If you ever need to use full speed burst its impressively fast. I tried it at a Luau in Hawaii and going through the pictures is basically like watching a movie frame by frame and I like that unlike Sony with the z8 + ftz + tamron 70-200 f/2.8 there is no artificial cap on the speed at which I can capture images.

Was afraid to buy such an expensive item on Amazon but the camera and accessories were delivered nicely and everything was great.

This is the best camera I have ever used. I bought the Nikon D800 when it came out, and it was a revolution. Now I bought the Z8, and it is again a revolution. Superb ergonomics, the fantastic new lens mount, incredible lenses, the amazing, silent, fully-electronic shutter, the new programmable control dial on the Z lenses - I will never go back to DSLRs. The only shortcoming of this camera is the viewfinder. The resolution and color fidelity is nowhere near what I would like. I expect a Z8 II update in a couple of years that corrects this. And it would be nice to have a pre-release capture mode when shooting raw files. But I hear that may be coming in a future firmware update.

The camera is all I had expected it to be based on articles and reviews. The icing on the cake was that they just released a MAJOR firmware update in Feb of 2024 that not only fixes some bugs, but introduces more features. Yes, I'm a many year Nikon owner from film days to digital days and now to mirrorless, but this camera broke the barriers and more. Two thumbs up, Nikon!
