The Nikon Z8 Facebook group is showing save the date announcements for May 10th, with a countdown clock, sent to NPS members and others promising a big announcement. It's also at the top of the Nikonusa webpage.

Remains to be seen.

Oh Nikon, how deep the fall.
Rumors are all over the internet. The proposed price point will be around $5K, and once a vertical grip is added, your close to the cost of the Z9.
Many compare it to the Sony A7r5, really? the Sony is around $3900.00, that is no comparison. And the Sony has a mechanical and electronic shutters, Nikon will only have an electronic shutter. (which is not bad)
Rest assured Nikon fans, what ever they bring out will not be available for at least a year.
Sony is bringing out several models in June, and rest assured Sony fans, you WILL be able to get those models when they are introduced. Same for Canon fans.
PS. Where is the Nikon 200-600mm lens they said would be introduced in 2020? Maybe they will also announce that too on May 10th, probably available in 2025.
Again, OH Nikon, how deep the fall.

The rumor quotes a $5000 price tag. I was hoping for <$4000. We’ll know for sure in two weeks.

This picture, if anywhere close to reality, contains some clues that the camera may be very close to what I have been waiting for. But if the price is anywhere close to $5000, it is a complete miss for me and will remain on the shelf at the camera store.

I'm surprised you have not changed your user name.

From Nikon:

In the bottom right of the "Are You Ready" ad banner is an 8.

What could it mean?

The Nikon Z8 price will only be $3599 USD, a great price for this much camera. Well done Nikon, Cheers

The Nikon Z8 price will be $3599 USD, a great price for this much camera. Less than the Sony A7RV, and less than the Canon R5 that it will compete with. Again Nikon has underpriced its direct competition, just like it did with its pricing for the Z9, vs Sony A1 and Canon R3.

That will be a wonderful thing, if the picture is really of the Z8 and the price is really $3599. A great move for Nikon and perhaps a great opportunity for me. But I don't buy based on rumors. We'll have to see what the reality turns out to be. For now, I'm looking forward to May 10.

The Nikon Z9 sells for $5,500 USD at B&H. I would be very surprised if a Z8 was priced at at only $500 less than the Z9.

This is starting to get bit boring. People are expecting this to be a D850 killer and maybe it will be. The hope that it will be a credible baby Z9 as well, is the reason it's so highly anticipated by some. However, the real D850 can still be purchased new for $2,800 at B&H and will still give shooters the same stunning results It did before all this hoopla started.

Mind you I am a mirrorless shooter and enjoy the advantages that mirrorless gives me, but the Z8 speculation is just over the top.

The price of the Z8 Will probably be at least $1,000 more than the D850. So much unnecessary hype about a product that hasn't even been announced yet.
