Here is our expectation of the highly anticipated full frame mirrorless, Nikon Z8 camera. Nikon expanded its Full Frame Mirrorless cameras portfolio by launching the Nikon Z7 and Nikon Z6 last year.
Nikon embraces a mirrorless future with Z series cameras and lenses. The Z series comprises both these two cameras and a new lens mount. As they continue to expand the offering for the new Z mount, rumors are coming out of the Nikon Z8, including claims of ultra-high resolution and deep bit depth.
