The New Nikon Z8
The London Photo Show hosted a private guided tour of the Nikon-sponsored exhibition, which showcased an array of stunning photographs and featured the newly launched Nikon Z8. This highly anticipated camera did not disappoint, impressing photographers with its remarkable 45.7-megapixel sensor, advanced autofocus system, and 8K video capabilities. The opportunity to test out the Z8 was a fantastic highlight of the exhibition, allowing photographers to experience firsthand the camera's exceptional image quality, fast shooting speed, and user-friendly interface. The Nikon Z8 is undoubtedly a game-changer and a must-have for any serious and pro photographer in 2023.
Nikon School UK held an exciting event at Somerset House where all the pros gathered to present the Z8 with two workshops. The first workshop involved shooting in a fashion studio with a model posing for the cameras. This was a great opportunity for photographers to learn about studio lighting and to try any Nikon camera bodies and lenses from the Z range . The second workshop was with ballet dancers and natural light. This workshop focused on capturing stunning images of dancers in motion again with Nikon Z bodies and lenses but particularly the Nikon Z8, using the natural light to create beautiful and dramatic effects. This event provided great learning opportunities for photographers of all levels to learn from the pros and improve their skills with the latest technology.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have received an invitation to such a special day, particularly as it included the opportunity to shoot with the Z8 camera in both workshops. From the moment I arrived, I knew it was going to be a truly memorable experience. The combination of meeting the experts in their field and having access to top-of-the-line equipment was nothing short of extraordinary. As I worked with the Z8, I was blown away by its capabilities and the stunning results it produced. Being able to capture moments of the shoots with such precision and clarity was a privilege, and I am sharing the images that I captured with the Z8 and various lenses. All in all, I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of this unique event.
The Nikon Z8
Is a beast of a camera in a small body with almost all the Z9 capabilities in a shape of a smaller D850.
Fabulous performance
In a studio lighting environment for fashion shoots.
Low light condition
Its very high ISO performance is just outstanding with very little noise and high clarity.
I was amazed by the fast focus tracking
Especially in such a low light environment.
All in all
It was such a privilege to be able to shoot with that fantastic camera, a couple of days after its launch in the UK.
