I have been wanting to move to mirrorless. I need to be able to photograph animals in low light, so also considering getting Nikkor 70-200 2.8. I have been using Canon 7D Mark II for years, with L lenses, and to me, it has been OK but not great. But I have zero experience with Nikon of any sort. A bit concerned about weight, too, as that lens weighs quite a bit.
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Especially those of you that actually own a Nikon Z8....
Been using Nikon since the D1. Own the Z8, Z9 and the 70-200 2.8 S lens. The major difference for me is the battery life even with the MB-N12 battery pack. I get around 400 shots on the Z8 and over 2800 on the Z9 with a single battery charge. Why do I own both the Z8 and the Z9 is because the Z8 is lighter and has a smaller footprint. Getting old and on occasion not being able to use a tripod, out comes the Z8. Shoot a lot of High School sports and lighting is poor but I see very little difference between the Z8 and the Z9 and with post processing I am happy with the results. I haven't done a comparison shot between the two cameras.
