A not-so-important feature that also appeals to me is the deeper grip. I have very long fingers and the grip would be an advantage. So far, the two improvements that I would like to have but can live without are the eye detection improvement and the grip. The most notable improvements seem to be in the video area which I do not care for at all. Having been enthused to grab a z8, I now think it can wait for a year until they begin hitting the referb section in the Nikon store.


Rear articulating screen might be useful also.

I have a Z7ii. There were two reasons I went to it from my Z6: SD card (less expensive and fits in my computers), and more MP because I mostly shoot wildlife and often crop a lot. I was missing my D800 and the Z7ii fixed that. Plus the Z7ii has some extra likable features. It will likely be my last camera purchase (76).

The only thing about the Z8 I like is the lighted buttons. I much dislike the larger size and weight. If I do video I use my iPhone. So not in my future.

Not suggesting you leave Nikon at all. Stick with the brand you prefer.

FYI, Sony A7RIV, A7RIVa and A7RV all have fullframe 61mp sensors, and Sony has a new 20-70mm f4 lens out now too.

Full disclosure, I own the 61mp Sony A7RIV and it is super for landscapes. I am sure that 45mp stacked BSI sensor in both the Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z8 also has excellent IQ, resolution and detail for landscape shooting and enlargements.

When I need fast 30fps, blackout-free EVF, AI tracking, best and fastest AF, huge buffer, 1/32000 second shutter speed, true silent shooting with reduced rolling shutter, and more like 8k video recording (although the new 61mp A7RV now also does 8k recording) , then I reach for my Sony A1 with its 50mp stacked BSI sensor.

Just a few of the countless landscape shots I have made with my 61mp Sony A7RIV and my Sony, Sigma and Tamron native E-mount lenses.

1) Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California, USA
2) Yosemite National Park, California, USA
3) Horseshoe Bend and the Colorado River, Page, Arizona, USA
4) Venice Beach and Pacific Ocean, California, USA
5-7) Monument Valley, Navajo lands, Arizona/Utah border, USA
8) Las Vegas strip, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
9) Grapevine Lake, Texas, USA
10) Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, California, USA.

Cheers and best to you.

Good Lord .... After reviewing the images you posted I think I'll throw my cameras away - not only would I like to have had your travel experiences, once I got there I'd like to think I'd get hit by a lightning bolt and produce images anywhere near these.

Each one better than the last. Hat tip to you.
