The Nikon Z8 is smashing across Japan like Godzilla right now: Digital Camera World. Any thoughts from you Nikon users.

Me too. That is if you are referring to the statement:
"75% of the replies to this thread are condescending and coming from old farts that have lost zest for life, and don't endorse competition and good spirit towards fellow photographers. Hoggers who sit at home and reply to every post because their cameras are old and outdated like them and don't take photos anymore because they can't get off the couch or away from the bottle."
That was a fairly accurate statement indeed.
As for Nikon and Z8, I shot one this past week in Alaska and it was a real performer. Every bit as sweet as my Z9.

Good for Nikon and their bottom line. Godzilla just reminded me of the American actor
Raymond Burr. (Perry Mason and Ironside). He was in that movie. Go fiqure. Will Canon and
Sony have a fight to the death with Megaron?

Talk about condescending.

I doubt it as the Z8 is still technologically behind Sony and Canon, especially regarding AF and DR.

When I eventually purchase my Z8, it will have very little to do with the autofocus system. It will be all about the control layout and operating system.
Again, It's all about what kind of photography you do!!!

To pea vine on your reference to Godzilla, in the TV series M*A*S*H, set in the Korean War, one of the actors uses the term Godzlla. The shows's writers were apparently unaware that
Godzilla did not appear until after the Korean War ended.

The Nikon Z8 is off to a great start, ranking first at all five major camera stores. It's amazing that the Z8 is ranked first not only at camera stores with high-end models such as Yodobashi, Map Camera, and Fujiya Camera, but also at Bic and Kitamura, which have relatively low-priced models."
Hard for me to get excited about the ever-changing “who comes 1st”. this month rat race by the marketing mavens of camera-world Japan. Who honestly cares other than their investors?
Cheers!

It shows that reports of Nikon's demise were greatly exaggerated.

There is no OM-1 Mk III
Do you prefer OM 1 E Mk III instead? It is popular to call it OM-1 Mk IIII.

Massive? It was a little over 6000 cameras. And from what I’ve heard the turnaround time was about 4 days, including shipping.
