Nikon announced the Z9 in October 2021, and it has won many accolades. It’s not surprising because its 120fps maximum continuous shooting, 8K 60p video capability and the ability to shot 8K 30p footage for more than 2½ hours have the Sony A1 and Canon R3 beaten, yet it costs much less. Now in 2023 the Nikon Z8 has been introduced, which has many of the features of the Nikon Z9, but at an even lower price. In this post, we compare the key elements of the Nikon Z8 and Z9 to identify their similarities and differences.
