Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera with Basic Bundle

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.

The Retrospective 7M Shoulder Bag from Think Tank Photo stores and protects your DSLR or mirrorless camera with an attached 24-70mm lens, an additional 70-200mm lens, a flash, and accessories. Alternatively, it accommodates a small drone with controller and accessories. Designed to look like a shoulder bag rather than a camera bag for a low profile, it offers dedicated compartments for your camera gear.

Made from durable and water-resistant cotton canvas, it has a large flap with dual turn buckles to keep it securely closed. The interior is lined with nylon and padded with closed-cell foam for protection. The main compartment has padded touch-fastening PE-reinforced dividers for organizing your gear. A large pocket under the flap stores and organizes memory cards, cables, your wallet, keys, and more.

A rear pocket enables quick access to documents, maps, boarding passes, and notebooks. The exterior water bottle accessory pocket collapses and compresses to the bag with the integrated strap for a streamlined profile. A simple webbing rail accommodates modular pouches or a carabineer, so you can further customize the bag to your needs. Carry the Retrospective 7M with the padded removable top handle, or wear it using the adjustable padded shoulder strap. You can also attach it to the handle of a rolling carry-on bag. To further protect your valuable gear, a seam-sealed rain cover is included for wet weather conditions.
