Nikon has now issued a second product recall for the Nikon Z8, due to strap lugs breaking on the $4,000 / £4,000 / AU$7,000 flagship-grade camera. This is the manufacturer's second technical service advisory for the Nikon Z8, following a recall in June over some cameras not being able to mount lenses.

Ooops, they did it again!

And, now here we go on this topic yet again. More Hog madness.

Doesn't say much positive about Nikon's superior engineering ....

QC issues?

When quoting a source word for word ... maybe name the source.

Another proof that the "perfect" camera has not been manufactured yet. With a good quality control these things should not be happening.

Yep more bashing

I use Sony currently...but I'd still choose Nikon over Canon...any day.

I generally agree, but here I knew I'd post the link as soon as someone responded. So it was almost instantaneous!

Have to be careful...folks are worried about a recall conspiracy.

I didn't post the link when I posted my thread about this either because admin will move it. But here it's from Nikon themselves.

Folks the Z8 recalls are real, but in my 50 years as a pro using the best from all brands, there has been NO new camera that hasn't come out with some early issues, NONE, and that includes the expensive "flagship" ones, just a fact.

Nikon will get it sorted and in a few months from now, it will all just be a memory.

Nothing wrong with UHHers reporting the news, I do it also. But please dont even think about bashing the decades of legendary Nikon quality and reliability.

I have had Nikon, Canon, Leica, Hasselblad and Sony bodies that had issues, but they were all taken care of and it never stopped me from loving the award-winning images each brand helped me capture and create.

Yes after 40+ years using pro Nikon, Canon ( both brands) plus some Leica and Hasselblad cameras, I moved over to Sony back in 2017. We Sony owners withstood the dismissive jeers from Nikon and Canon fans that Sonys were toys, not cameras, LOL

Then Sony was the innovative creator of the fullframe mirrorless camera which totally changed the pro and hobbyist market. Now Nikon and Canon are racing to catch up and there are going to be some hits and misses along the way.

Nikon will endure, as will their excellent Z8, which BTW is the #1 selling camera in Yodobashi camera store chain's top ten camera sales for June 15-30, 2023 in all these top brands' home country of Japan. .
