This Nikon Z8 is one of our favorite cameras, and it’s got $500 off for Black Friday

This Nikon Z8 is one of our favorite cameras, and it’s got $500 off for Black Friday

Terms such as “foremost in the market,” “a dominant force,” and “the finest overall mirrorless camera to date” have all been ascribed to the Nikon Z8.

Far from just being the eagerly awaited successor to the Nikon D850, the Z8 stands on its own as an extraordinary device, providing shooting speeds and autofocus capabilities that position it as one of the top-tier cameras for wildlife photography available.

For those well-versed in camera gear, the allure of the Nikon Z8 is nothing new, yet the arrival of a Black Friday promotional offer could make now the perfect moment to make the purchase.

B&H Photo has the Nikon Z8 on offer, paired with the all-purpose NIKKOR Z 24-120 f/4 S lens, at a price of $4,596.95 — slicing $500 off the regular combined retail price. Just earlier this week, they trimmed $200, but B&H has now applied a further reduction of $300 just for good measure!

Considering the expectation for the Z8 to dominate the mirrorless category for years to come (it was introduced only a few months back), this is a noteworthy and infrequent bargain — one that Adorama is also extending, and it’s wise to act quickly to secure it.

During our evaluation of the Nikon Z8, we granted it a resounding 4.5 out of 5 stars, acclaiming it as “potentially the top all-encompassing mirrorless camera to ever hit the market”.

Boasting a 45.7MP resolution that’s capable of up to 8K video recording at 60fps, the Z8 represents a “purchase once, bear the cost once” kind of investment that justifies itself for professional photographers—especially those with an affinity for capturing wildlife.

This is attributed to its swift burst shooting velocity and some of the most responsive autofocus mechanisms we’ve experienced, ensuring you never miss a moment. Affectionately nicknamed the “baby Z9,” it risks overshadowing its older sibling, as it adeptly manages nearly every task in a significantly more compact form than the larger flagship camera.

The included NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4 lens completes this value-packed bundle, ensuring your pictures truly stand out — plus, the $500 you save could go towards an additional lens, especially if the spirit of the shopping season has gotten hold of you.
