Nikon Z8

I'm considering trading in my Nikon D750 and 24-120 lens into the Nikon Z8 upgrade program. Doing so, would make the Z8 basically $2900 which is a more reasonable price for me vs $4000.

Still...

Re: Nikon Z6 -Z8

My girlfriend got a Z8 about a week ago. That thing is pretty nice, but so much larger than the Z6.

Still waiting for the Z6-3.

Re: Nikon Z6

4 years later, I'm still shooting that Z6 and 24-70 combo plus I got a second one that I run on a Ronin mini 3 gimbal with a 14-30 F4 on it.

Waiting for the Z6iii and will probably upgrade to that.

Re: Nikon Z6

The D750 is great for sure. I used that with a 50 1.4 and manual focus for many many years as my primary wedding video system until the z6.

Re: Nikon Z6

Thanks! The 24-70 2.8 is stunning in clarity. I've never seen anything like it out of my F mount lenses.

Re: Wedding Guys, What's Happening?

I've also discovered that I really am starting to hate the 6-8 hours it takes just to pick out music (aka find it) for these short wedding films. It really sucks. lol

Re: wedding photography megapixel and wide shots?

I started making the move into wedding photos about 2 years ago and it has been a very nice source of additional income.
