I have always intended to acquire a second body. And, I expected it to be the Z6iii. With $500 off on the Z8, I am seriously considering getting one. When the Z6iii does come out, I could trade in my Z6ii and upgrade to the Z6iii.
There is no place within 200 miles that I can physically get my hands on a Z8. The weight difference doesn’t seem like a problem. For those that have a Z6/7, does the Z8 feel much larger?
Thanks
Defiantly similar to or much the same as the D850.
However we don't know exactly what the Z6III will be like in size or weight and features, it should have greater performance and ZF features as well.
The Z8 is currently a better camera than a Z6II or ZF or Z7II.
Compared to the Z8 Z9
the ZF has a new design IBIS with 3 extra stops on the sensor, it also has 2 stops extra of low light focusing, these features i presume will be included in forth coming new camera models, also that type of change indicates a suitable fit for higher resolution sensors, better focusing and or to compliment video.
It all depends on what you shoot and do, i have the Z8 now after selling my Z9, i am waiting for the Z7III as i hope it will have the improved focusing system faster frame rates and most importantly higher resolution.
Z6II Approx. 134 x 100.5 x 69.5 mm/5.3 x 4.0 x 2.8 in.
Weight Approx. 705 g/1 lb 8.9 oz with battery and memory card
Z8 with Battery 910 g (2.01 lb / 32.10 oz)
Dimensions 144 x 119 x 83 mm (5.67 x 4.69 x 3.27″)
