After its much-anticipated launch, the Nikon Z 8 has been in high demand which is not surprising given how much of the flagship Z 9 you
get in a more compact and significantly less expensive package. In many ways, the Z 8 is essentially the Z 9 minus the integrated vertical grip – an accessory unit is available instead – and is intended as the mirrorless replacement for the very popular D850. Nikon says the Z 8 is 30 percent smaller overall than the Z 9 and 15 percent smaller than the D850.
