Approaching The Scene 253: Nikon Z8 Initial Review, Pros, Cons & Accessories

(LINKS BELOW): The Z8 is finally here. I know that many of you have been waiting a long time for this camera and I don’t think you'll be disappointed. It’s really a Z9 dressed in a smaller body. I've just posted my two-video complete setup guide for the Z8 here on YouTube after shooting side by side with it, my Z9 and Z6ii. In this video, I’ll share my initial impressions. How does it differ from the Z9? Who is it for and who might be better served by another camera? What are some accessories you might consider with it? Why aren’t I keeping it? I’ll answer all that and more.
