You were always going to be the first channel I watched regarding the Z8 this morning Matt, and you did not disappoint! The Z8 is going to be my first mirrorless camera (moving from my D800E)!
i had the D800 and D800E. And right now I have the D850 and the Z50. I think I will switch as well next year with a cashback event hopefully, but not to replace my D850 and Z50.
I have been waiting a long time for the Z8, watching your channel for news. I ordered my Z8 Kit today. So I will be shooting Z8 and D850, what's not to love.
Mine is on order. I’m just an enthusiast, but I shoot a lot of action (grandkids playing soccer, football, basketball, softball, and competitive dance) and wildlife. I think this camera is going to give me much more ability to capture the photos and videos that I’ve always wanted to share with my family and friends. I can hardly wait for the delivery.
Matt! Nikon are just getting started! I work in live broadcast and I am trying to convince the outside broadcast companies that I work for to use the Z9 (and now also the Z8) instead of presently used Sonys for special cams such as gimbal cameras! The MC-N10 is unique in that it allows for full control of the Z cameras (especially focus) on a gimbal without having to touch the camera should it need to be refocused on the subject (which I see time and time again from the Sonys)! When you shoot live there is no excuse for losing focus when we now have the possibility of full control! I also think that at some stage in the future Nikon will hook up with a company like SKAARHOJ so we can gain full professional camera control which is imperative for use in a multi camera broadcast environment. If BM, Panasonic and RED can do it there is no reason why the Z9 and Z8 should not be able to do it!😎
Will jump in and agree🙂 looking forward to using them as a pair. Both will have there place, kind of like having two different size hammers, both do the same job but each are better suited to different jobs 🙂. Had thought of second Z9 but the Z8;offers more flexibility. . Like many out my pre order in right away.
Do you work with HSS and have you had any problems with banding? It's the main thing holding me from placing a preorder. Most of my jobs are action with flash
The moment many of us has been waiting and looking forward to…and…finally it looks like I can now move with confidence from my workhorse D850 to my new Z8, exciting times ahead and thank as always Matt.
Your video's are excellent Matt. You are the first place i looked this morning after i woke up in California. You remain such a huge voice of reason. I was waiting for the details before i ordered a Z9, now its tough to justify with the Z8 filling all my wants. So $1500 can go to glass.
Great first look, Matt! I was really looking forward to hearing your take on it, and unquestionably this is an incredible camera, and exactly what people have been waiting for. Cheers! -Chris
Thanks for the great review. Yes indeed - I’ll be ordering one. I have been cranky for a while, about Nikon’s big glass production taking so long. I have just received a 400/2.9tc after a 1 year 8 month wait. I was also able to pick up an 800 used a couple of months ago. So the Z8 will make a good 2nd body and the savings of a pound will be appreciated. I did add a Sony platform to my kit whilst waiting for Nikon to deliver the goods needed for wildlife/birding. So, now I can compare the A1/A7rV - 400, 600, 200-600 to the Nikon versions. There are things I prefer with the Nikon around usability and color science - and the tc is very handy indeed - but the Sony is. Bit better at AF - including speed, accuracy, and locking on the bird’s eye in a complicated scene. I’m convinced Nikon has the hardware to close the gap and perhaps beat Sony’s A1. It’s just a matter of s/w now and the good news is that can happen with a firmware release. It should be an interesting competition between the brands. Please keep up the reporting on the Z8 and all things Nikon!
What a camera, perfect for me, always wanted a smaller Z9. Too bad that the 23rd I'm going to travel for 3 months and I believe they start shipping it the 25th in Europe...! Would have been the perfect travel companion.
I waited for the Nikon D200 to come out when I got my first Digital Camera. It was to wait until the technology improved. Now I waited for the Z8, when I will get my first mirrorless camera.
It is fantastic that Nikon hasn't put any false limitations into the Z8, and made it as close to the Z9 as possible. I think the Z8 will be very popular indeed, especially with the great Z lenses! If I didn't already have a magical Z9 machine, I'd get one.
Great to see your enthusiastic first look at the Z8 Matt, I thought you would have had one for a while! I am excited about it ,I have been waiting for a few years for my next camera to go along with my Z7 and this certainly looks like it, the Z7II was not enough of a step up for me but this one certainly looks like it, one thing I am wondering about is except for the front magnesium plate they are apparently using a new synthetic material in the body so hopefully that will stand the test of time, I will more than likely be preordering one soon, looking forward to more on this for sure!
Many thanks Aussie Matt the great (8) Zed ! I wait until next year never buy in the first year and still on Kiddo in the last year on University Priceless .Many thanks Matt .
Back in the DSLR days I was planning to upgrade my trusty, old and slow D600 to a D850, but that was put on hold with the Z cameras. The Z7II looked like what I wanted but I was spooked by focus issues and I wanted a faster camera. Long story short, I've purchased the Z8 and I couldn't be happier. This is a massive change and I'm struggling a bit with the learning curve, but the results when I do everything correctly are staggering. The possibilities that have opened up for me are really exciting. Anyway, Matt, thank you for your enthusiasm around the Z8. It helped me pull the trigger and I'm so pleased to no longer be waiting and to be making great images, and now video.
Just put my Sony A7RV and 200-600mm lens up for sale, Will be getting a Nikon Z8. I just hope they announce the Nikon 200-600 real soon! Also, what USB cables were you using in this video? They seem to be braided and lay very flat to the side of the camera. please do tell!
Excellent ergonomics and superior weather sealing is what separates Nikon Z9 and Z8 from its competition especially Sony. I've personally seen how the Sony A7R4 and A1 do not handle inclement weather very well. That to me is a huge important feature that often gets left out in many camera reviews. Thanks for the video.
I would get one too! Nikon released the Z9 first because if the 2 had been released together no one would have bought the Z9. Why hold that heavy brick when the Z8 does exactly the same and is cheaper?
J'aime la nouvelle forme de ce boitier, il est très beau. J'espère que les futurs boitiers Z5 II Z6 III et Z7 III auront la même esthétique en plus petit et plus léger. I like the new shape of this case, it is very beautiful. I hope that the future Z5 II Z6 III and Z7 III cases will have the same aesthetics in smaller and lighter.
I was stuck in a meeting at work when the camera was announced. At 8:15 am I was rushing back to my office, quickly reviewed the specs and ordered one at 8:18. My Nikon digital cameras are as follows - Coolpix 990 in 2000, D200 in 2006, D800 in 2012, Z6ii in 2022, and now the Z8. I have been purchasing a lot of the Z lenses during the past year. Hope mine gets shipped close to the May 25th time frame. I have a vacation planned for late May / early June. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the videos Matt. Cheers! Kirk in the USA.
Hi Matt. Thanks, as always. Exciting times to be a Nikon shooter. I have pre-ordered my Z8. Will be my second body to go along with my Z9. Looking forward to your more in depth review.
Great review Matt! I have a Z6 and wanted to upgrade but the Z9 was too big. I preordered as soon it was announced this morning. I wish it had GPS but I lived without it on the 6 so it's not a big deal.
Hi Matt, my Z8 is on order. It's going to be shipped to me from Vistek in Toronto by the end of the month. I also have the Z 400mm f4.5 S lens on order. It's been on back order for a few weeks and there still isn't an ETA. I look forward to being back in Australia in November. Perhaps we will visit Melbourne? We will be in Noosa and Sydney sight seeing as usual.
Thank you for the comprehensive coverage on this despite it being very similar to the Z9 and for breaking it up in chapters. Looking forward to the live session.
You recommended waiting for the Z8 (at the time no one was sure what it was actually going to be.) Having purchased a D850 six (6) months before Nikon announced its first mirrorless, you suggested patience in upgrading right away. You said to let the technology finess, etc. So, I did and I have to thank you for your advise. I have a great D850 and I love it and may not sell it...but I have already ordered the Z8 and I can't wait to experience mirrorless. I'm sure it will be different and take time getting used to, but I am soooo ready. Thanks again for your enthusiasm for Nikon!
Hey Matt, what a stonker! A great companion to my Z9 at last. My need for two Z9 bodies has now evaporated and I’m going to order one shortly. Keep up the brilliant work 👏🏼👏🏼
Well, I preordered my Z8 the day they announced it from my local camera store... I received a call today that mine will be in the store after 2:00 pm on the 25th... I have to say I am a bit excited about it...
Mine is on order ! To me this is perhaps the most appropriate Nikon for me at the moment, as a Z6ii user I need improved AF options. The Z9 is a monster - far too large to carry around all day, so a none starter for me. The more compact size and weight plus AF are most important features for me (along with good low light performance and compact gear). If the Z6 had the Z8 AF that would be ideal, but guess that may be a long way off if at all. The main omission is GPS
@@steventhomas231I don't think it really matters. AF alone does not define the system (well unless it's really bad wich is not the case and never has been). I can only guess why Fro is so obsessed with it
I’m super excited Matt - I pre-ordered direct from Nikon yesterday 🥳👏🏻 I really put a lot of thought into deciding between the Z8 and the Z9 over the last few months. The Z8 is a perfect match for me right now. And I can always grab a Z9 down the line too. My Z6II will stay so I’ll finally have two capable bodies 😎📷📷
Great preview Matt, your excitement is palpable! :) I have to say, my wishlist for what the Z8 would embody has had every item checked off here and one I didn't really expect...the additional USB port for power. And the price...I had a feeling that Nikon would lay down a new price/performance statement and darn if they didn't. Ordered one from NikonUSA as soon as it opened up this morning...and given the sluggishness of the checkout page, I was not alone! :) I've had my Z9 for over a year and love it, but I've been suffering through the withdrawals of having a second body as I had with a D850/D500 combo for a number of years. Thanks Nikon!
Hi Matt you did a small video some time back about the Z9 and the Atomos Ultra sync blue will the Z8 work the same as the Z9 with that device Thanks Regards
Thanx for the review, I preordered mine, expecting it in 5 days, all seems great, but more info on HEIF would be great. One thing I hate about Z8 is the lack of built in GPS.
The fact that it has a dedicated PD usb-c port, that indicates it supports fast charging. Best feature I’ve notice so far. Think of it this way, why carry or buy extra batteries when you can charge your camera 50% in 20 minutes.
Nikon is BACK!!!! I am so happy I kept the faith! 👍🏿
Z8 finally Here! It's been two years! Cheers!
You were always going to be the first channel I watched regarding the Z8 this morning Matt, and you did not disappoint! The Z8 is going to be my first mirrorless camera (moving from my D800E)!

A dispassionate and upbeat overview. Well done, cobba.
Thanks Matt, you maintain the most exciting photo channel with a good balance between technique and aesthetics.
I have been waiting a long time for the Z8, watching your channel for news. I ordered my Z8 Kit today. So I will be shooting Z8 and D850, what's not to love.

Just ordered the Z8. Thanks Matt for the decision making information.
Thank Matt! I am sold, or better said another Nikon is sold to me :)
So excited, can’t wait! Already on pre-order list
As a commercial photographer who's often working with two cameras I'm really excited for the Z8. The Z8 and Z9 will be a perfect pair.
For sure Paul I feel the same way
Agreed. This will be a great second camera for pros and an amazing camera for advanced enthusiasts. I hope it helps Nikon’s market share.
Will jump in and agree🙂 looking forward to using them as a pair. Both will have there place, kind of like having two different size hammers, both do the same job but each are better suited to different jobs 🙂. Had thought of second Z9 but the Z8;offers more flexibility. .

Ordered mine first thing this morning, now if they can just get that 200-600 out I will be ecstatic!
This will be amazing for sports
Preordered woot woot. The moment I’ve been waiting for the D850 I wanted some time ago :)
I ordered mine the day it was announced, and I can't wait to hold it in my hands
Congrats! Can't wait to see your take on the Z8.
Many thanks Aussie Matt the great (8) Zed ! I wait until next year never buy in the first year and still on Kiddo in the last year on University Priceless .Many thanks Matt .

Just pre-ordered mine. Thank you!
Hi Matt. Thanks, as always. Exciting times to be a Nikon shooter. I have pre-ordered my Z8. Will be my second body to go along with my Z9. Looking forward to your more in depth review.
This is amazing! But now I am confused! Why would I buy the Z9 now? :S
Going live shortly, we will chat about that :)
Definitely getting Z8. Have to trade Z6 and Z7 ii and a few lenses but will be well worth it.
La Nikon Z8 es lo mejor del momento por prestaciones, ergonomía y diseño. Ultra top.
Z9 mini
Already preordered !!🎉
With much detail.👍
One thing that I do like and want is the Pre-Release Burst, that will be so useful for animal shots.
Yeah what a cool feature for a full frame camera :)
Preordered mine with an NPS priority order before the announcement video was done. My Z9 will have a new little brother.
Great review Matt! I have a Z6 and wanted to upgrade but the Z9 was too big. I preordered as soon it was announced this morning. I wish it had GPS but I lived without it on the 6 so it's not a big deal.

@@MattIrwinPhotography Excellent! I will tune in :)
Yay ! So excited for the new family member 😄Ordered the Z8 right after the launch, B&H shipping date May 25th. Great video Matt, thank you!
I already ordered tis baby!
Oh, Z8 is looking so tempting, even as an amateur ❤
Hey Matt, what a stonker! A great companion to my Z9 at last. My need for two Z9 bodies has now evaporated and I’m going to order one shortly. Keep up the brilliant work 👏🏼👏🏼

Congrats Dan. I look forward to hearing what you think of it :)
Matt, I have a Z9 & Z7II. Would you sell the Z7II for the Z8?
Finally! Thanks for your review!
Just ordered one Matt!
Mine is on order !
To me this is perhaps the most appropriate Nikon for me at the moment, as a Z6ii user I need improved AF options.

I preordered through Nikon and as always a great video Matt! what battery will it use? same as Z7II?
Yes same battery :)
Looks amazing, now I only hope I can afford one in my lifetime
Looks good. Let's see Fro tell us how disappointing it is....
Surprisingly, he was not too disappointed 😂
Well, he was on the auto focus. Still seems not as sticky as Canon according to him. Don't know how true that is.
stopped watching that dude years ago, best decision of my life
@@steventhomas231I don't think it really matters. AF alone does not define the system (well unless it's really bad wich is not the case and never has been). I can only guess why Fro is so obsessed with it
@@steventhomas231 DPreview and others say there’s almost no difference, so I believe that.
Bought one 23 mins post launch, in Uk ❤
I have one on preorder. I just hope Nikon does not let people down like they have on the Z 6 II.
Spectacular! What is missing is an app for comunicación with a smartphone that works. SnapBridge doesn't.
Hi Matt, I really enjoy your content and thanks for your hard work! I've ordered the Z8 and it will join my small Nikon team of beloved Z6 and D500.
Sounds awesome, please let us all know what you think when it arrives :)
On order Z8 So excited!
Congratulations :)
I’m super excited Matt - I pre-ordered direct from Nikon yesterday 🥳👏🏻 I really put a lot of thought into deciding between the Z8 and the Z9 over the last few months.

Hello Matt, It does look very good. But the Z9 or the Z8?
Going live very soon, let's chat about it
Interesting!
While I will not be trading in my Z9, but I am intrigued by the possibilities of a low profile Z8 🤔
I think we will be able to connect external storage with that another usb type c port.
Great preview Matt, your excitement is palpable! :)
I have to say, my wishlist for what the Z8 would embody has had every item checked off here and one I didn't really expect...the additional USB port for power. And the price...I had a feeling that Nikon would lay down a new price/performance statement and darn if they didn't. Ordered one from NikonUSA as soon as it opened up this morning...and given the sluggishness of the checkout page, I was not alone! :)
I've had my Z9 for over a year and love it, but I've been suffering through the withdrawals of having a second body as I had with a D850/D500 combo for a number of years. Thanks Nikon!
You had it all along. 🎉
I'll replace Z6 with the Z8 when opening the preorder in Israel Nikon!!
Heck yes I am getting!!!
Hi Matt
you did a small video some time back about the Z9 and the Atomos Ultra sync blue
will the Z8 work the same as the Z9 with that device Thanks Regards
Thanx for the review, I preordered mine, expecting it in 5 days, all seems great, but more info on HEIF would be great. One thing I hate about Z8 is the lack of built in GPS.
Thanks Matt great video and fantastic `Camera 😊
I'm still waiting for a Z5ii with a flippy screen; or a Zfc in FX..
The fact that it has a dedicated PD usb-c port, that indicates it supports fast charging. Best feature I’ve notice so far.
Think of it this way, why carry or buy extra batteries when you can charge your camera 50% in 20 minutes.
In the middle of a shooting when the battery icon blips you do need to change ASAP
@@damienphotographe plug in your external battery pack and keep shooting
Hi Matt, what I didn't hear is if there is the x2.3 crop mode in 4k120p. Can you please confirm?
Thank you, Matt! Indeed, Nikon is back. I hope the next camera will be the Z6 III and then a Z7 III.
