Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera with 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 Lens and Essentials+ Kit

Built using flagship DNA, the Nikon Z8 is a compact, lightweight camera housing much of the technology from the Z9 but in a sleeker, more portable package. Dubbed the ultimate hybrid camera, the Z8 features the same proven sensor, processing, and AF capabilities of the flagship with a new body design that better suits gimbal use, event shooting, and other handheld applications.

Complementing the sensor is the EXPEED 7 processing engine, which offers speeds approximately 10x faster than a Z7 II. This engine works in conjunction with the stacked sensor design to realize impressively fast AF speeds, burst shooting rates, a high buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and quick all-around handling.

Covering the full sensor area, the Z8 uses the flagship 493-point phase-detection AF system to realize fast and accurate focusing performance. This system is benefitted by the high-speed communication of the Z interface along with the speed of the sensor that enables AF readings to occur at up to 120 fps.

Internal 12-bit raw recording at up to 8.3K 60p in the N-RAW format is supported along with internal ProRES RAW HQ. Raw recording offers greater tonal and color latitude and can improve dynamic range, benefitting color grading needs and post-production flexibility.

Internal recording is also supported with 10-bit color and 4:2:2 sampling in the ProRes 422 HQ and H.265 codecs, and H.264 and 4:2:0 color can be used depending on workflow needs. For more latitude when color grading in post, there is also a 10-bit N-Log setting as well as a Flat color profile. Additionally, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) can be used for creating HDR-ready content straight from the camera.

An unprecedented super-telephoto zoom lens for Z-series mirrorless cameras, the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens from Nikon provides outstanding sharpness across the entire zoom range. Created for the demanding needs of sports and wildlife photographers, this lens covers an expansive telephoto range allowing you to capture thrilling photos and videos in a relatively compact and lightweight design.

Be ready for critical moments with the 256GB Extreme PRO CFexpress 4.0 Type B Memory Card from SANDISK, which provides users with a high storage capacity that offers the freedom to create without limits. This card features a storage capacity of 256GB and takes advantage of the PCIe 4.0 bus to deliver maximum read speeds of 3500 MB/s, maximum write speeds of 3100 MB/s, and sustained write speeds of 900 MB/s, all of which is fast enough to capture 12K (12,288 x 6480), 8K (7680 x 4320), 6K (6144 x 3160), and 4K (4096 x 2160) video, plus raw and JPEG images and continuous shutter bursts. Additionally, this card supports the VPG-800 and VPG-400 standards, meaning that write speeds are guaranteed to not drop below 800 MB/s or 400 MB/s, respectively. To help ensure a long operational life, SANDISK built this Extreme PRO card with a bend resistance of up to 70N, drop resistance of up to 16.4', and temperature resistance ranging from 32 to 113°F.

Push past limits with PCIe 4.0 technology that enables high read speeds of up to 3700 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3500 MB/s to capture in 4K, 6K, 8K, and even 12K resolutions.
