Re: Nikon Z8
I actually haven't filmed with it yet, but I've done a lot of photos.
I have a few weddings videos coming up soon where I'll be using it though.

Re: Nikon Z8
It's been a while but I did take advantage of the Dec deal on Dec 30 2023. Made the Z8 $2900 with my D750 trade in.

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.

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: 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
