Nikon's Z8 brings the Z9 flagship's 45.7MP stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor into a smaller, lighter body that's about 30% lighter than the Z9. The stacked sensor enables blackout-free shooting at up to 20 fps in RAW (120 fps in JPEG at lower resolutions), AI-driven subject detection for nine subject types and 8K UHD 60p N-RAW video internally. A dual CFexpress + SD card layout, vertical-grip-optional design and full weather sealing round it out.
