The Nikon Z8 is going to be the way to go for the vast majority of serious photographers.
. In the week or so that I had to play with it I found it to be a most enjoyable camera, and I was able to review most of the major aspects of the cameras handling and capabilities. However, there were still some features that I needed to test, and for that I would need to wait for a final firmware Z8.
It will out-compete contemporary sensors of a similar megapixel count in the above regards. It is true that both the Z8 and Z9 rely on an electronic shutter exclusively and this does have ramifications to image quality: there is absolutely a minor loss of dynamic range, however the only cameras that would perform better are the Nikon D850 and Z7II.
CIPA rates a fully charged battery at roughly 325 shots before needing to be recharged but in real life situations many more photos can be taken before a battery needs swapping. I spent two full days shooting bursts with well over a thousand shots a day and I needed to swap batteries once each day. Certainly a Nikon Z9 would have gone a full day and more before needing a pit-stop, but with a few extra EN-EL15s in the camera bag, I think the Z8 could handle most photo jobs.
Gone are the days of Nikon eye lash focusing. The Z8 system handles precise focus on the Iris much better than before.It makes no sense to say this, and as a professional reviewer I try to avoid such claims, but I’m almost convinced that the Z8 focuses better and more accurately than the Z9. That is to say, I feel like I struggled more with the Z9 trying to get shots in focus.
