Nikon's Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera 'Z 8'
Nikon's new model 'Z 8' inherits the high performance of the flagship camera 'Z 9', while achieving a 30% reduction in size and approximately 430g weight reduction.
It features a stacked Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor with approximately 45.71 million effective pixels, offering the world's fastest scan rate and technology to minimize rolling shutter distortion. Additionally, the lack of a mechanical shutter structure allows for use without worrying about shutter durability. This enables efficient operation in a wide range of shooting scenes, including landscapes, birds, airplanes, and weddings, and demonstrates its mobility in video shooting as well.
