Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

The Nikon Z8 is a full-frame mirrorless camera body, ninth in this guide and the priciest body in it at £2,659.99. The listing gives a 45.7 MPix sensor, a full-frame (35mm) CMOS chip on the Nikon Z mount, dual image stabilisation, a 910 g body and 'Professional' as the skill level. One field disagrees with itself along the way: the highlights call the form factor Compact, the specification calls it Mirrorless.

The figure worth checking is the rating. The page shows 4.2 from 50 ratings, then prints the breakdown behind it: 17 one-star, 5 three-star, 6 four-star and 72 five-star. That totals 100, not 50 — and it is 100 ratings, not 50, that produce exactly the 4.2 shown. Two other fields sit oddly on the same page: the maximum aperture is given as '4 Millimetres', a length rather than an aperture, and a video capture resolution of 5504p appears alongside '8K' in the shooting modes list. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing for this camera, not from any testing we carried out.
