Rank #9 in Best Full Frame Mirrorless Camera 2026: 9 Ranked, 5 Spec Sheets That Don't Add Up
Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera Body, 45.7MP
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.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This camera is the natural successor to the D850 but mirrorless. To all intent and purpose it is a Z9 but in a cheaper, lighter and smaller body. A great camera at a great price. As you can tell I am a fan!”
Verified purchase“Keine langen Details hier, nur so viel: ein wundervolles Stück Technik für erstklassige Bilder und Videos.Anfänger wie ich dürfen sich gerne mal 2, 3 Tage im Urlaub mit der Camera und den über 1000 Seiten Dokumentation und fast endlosen Möglichkeiten Dinge einzustellen, manuelle oder automatische settings zu wählen und Taster nach Wunsch programmieren zu können ... beschäftigen.Bedienung sehr gut und plausibel und wenn man sie gelegentlich einsetzt findet man "seine" Knöpfe im Schlaf. Sowieso ändern wir an den Sittings sehr wenig inzwischen.Diese phantastische Auflösung, Belichtungsmöglichkeiten, Serienaufnahmen oder sogar 8K Videoaufnahmen geben dir sehr viel Spielräume. Man kann noch weit reinzoomen in Aufnahmen und noch perfekt für Web & Social.Man kann Einzelbilder aus Video oder Sequenzen 1/10 Sekundengenau rauspicken um die beste Emotion einer Szene zu erwischen ... und und und.Mit gutem Zoom Objektiv und Zubehör liegt man bei +/- 5K an Invest ... und erhält dafür einen phänomenalen Gegenwert.Wer mag, kann auch als "Laie" mit dem Gerät sehr, sehr beeindruckende Bilder einfangen.Naja, total begeisert, WLan, 2 Speicherkarten und mehrere TByte Platz ... die Bilder fliegen direkt auf den Server und zur Sicherheit hast di sie noch mal auf 1 oder 2 Karten in der CameraUnd easy ... kannst dir alles so auf Automatik einstellen, dass du nur noch den Zoom Bildausschnitt festlegst und auf den Knopf drückst.PS: um einiges schwerer als ein Handy ... aber XXXL mal besser wenn's dir auf TOP Bilder ankommt :-)”
