Nikon have been very slow with the release of a better camera than the Nikon Z7ii or Z7.   The Z9 has arrived for those that want the old style heavy top of the range camera.
However the Z8 which is a lighter format camera with a similar specification to the Z9 has been rumoured for a while.

Finally we are getting rumours that seem that the release of information and sale of the camera is imminent.

Here are the latest rumours.

Z8 camera looks almost identical to the Z7ii but will have a battery grip more like the old style.

Sensor: 45.7MP (stacked)
    ISO range: 64-25,600
    20 fps (120fps in JPEG mode)
    5-axis in-body stabilizations: 6 stops
    Shutter speed: 1/32000 – 900s
    Electronic shutter only
    Autofocus: 493 AF points
    HEIF 10-bit support
    Video: 8.3k @60p
    3.2″ tilting LCD screens
    EVF: same as the Z9 (3690k-dot OLED)
    Memory cards: CFExpress + SD
    Dust/drip resistant: same as the Nikon D850
    Dimensions: 144×118×83mm | 5.6×4.6×3.2in
    Weight: under 1kg
    Price: €4,599 (equivalent to around $5,000)

More information coming

Many of the other specifications not listed above will be identical to the Nikon Z9


I am hoping that Nikon put GPS in the camera as it is such a cheap commodity electronics wise that it makes little sense to skimp.
