![]() ![]() Like the Z9, the camera uses a base ISO of 200 in video mode for its standard color modes. The only major difference is that the Z8 can only record for up to 90 minutes, rather than the 125 minutes offered by the Z9, presumably for reasons of heat build-up. 4K video can be shot at up to 120fps (subsampled), or with oversampled footage derived from 8K capture at up to 60p. ![]() In terms of video the Z8 can capture 8K/30p video in the ProRes 422 HQ, H.265 or H.264 formats, or 8K/60p in the N-Raw format. It does have a shutter shield mechanism that can be set to close when the camera is off, though, to prevent dust ingress when you change lenses. Like the Z9, with its fast (~1/280sec) readout, the Z8 has no mechanical shutter. 685 of the less compressed HE Raws can be captured in a burst, or 79 of the losslessly compressed Raws files. We're told the Z8 has the same buffer as the Z9, meaning it can record more than 1000 JPEGs or HE* compressed Raws at 20fps. This is available in the 30, 60 and 120fps JPEG modes. The Z8 also offers the pre-burst option that lets it start capturing images when the shutter is half-pressed, then record up to a second's worth of images when you fully press the shutter. The Z8 also provides the option to shoot 10-bit HEIF files (alongside Raw, if you wish), if you opt to capture HDR images using the HLG curve. This means it can match the Z9's 20fps shooting rate with Raw and its 30fps full-frame / 60fps APS-C / 120fps 11MP JPEG shooting modes. In almost every respect, the Z8 is a match for the Z9, with essentially all the larger camera's features and capabilities duplicated in a smaller body.Īt the heart of it all is the same 45.7MP Stacked CMOS sensor that has parallel readout paths, one for images or video and another to provide the viewfinder feed with minimal lag.
