Sending the Z8 to Nikon
Jun 25, 2023 08:41:17 #
Have any of you printed the mailing label yet? I cannot select the Z8. The closet match is the Z7, but I don't want them to return a Z7 to me. 
I think it's interesting that they say to pack it in a plastic bag. Really? And where would I get one? We haven't had them in NY in years. I have lots of bubble wrap, so I'll use that.

I used the gallon ziploc bag for my Df. A lot of peanuts.

I have peanuts, bubble wrap and bags of air. I also have empty boxes. Did you find Z8 on the Nikon label-printing page?

What's wrong with the Z8, you just got it?
From Nikon.
"Users of the Z 8 camera have informed us that in some rare cases, a lens cannot be mounted on the camera because the lens cannot be rotated to the locked position."
No problem with mine, but I'll send it in just in case.

I have lots of bubble wrap, so I'll use that.I would wrap it in layers of bubble wrap (thin for the camera, thick for the box packaging, or peanuts but I hate those) you can get in Home Depot or Staples. As for the menu option if there is an "other" option select that, or Z9 if that is on the list - if they sent you back a Z9 would you be unhappy? :))))) If they have a comments box just mention Z8 and the SERIAL number.

I would prefer the Z8.

Me too - not a big fan of integrated vertical grips, BUT, you could sell it easily for 4k-something, and buy another Z8 brand new, with profits to buy a lens perhaps. BTW today is the last day you can buy a refurbished Z9 for $4500, for those interested.
