Just last month, Nikon Z 8, a full-frame mirrorless camera designed and manufactured for serious photographers, videographers, imaging professionals, and advanced creators has finally made its way in Malaysia. Futuromic Photo AV Sdn. Bhd., the official distributor for Nikon in Malaysia, is proud to introduce Nikon Z 8 at the launch event in Nexus Bangsar South on 22 May, 2023.
The Perfect Follow-Up to The Nikon Z 9 Comes in a Lighter Weight, More Compact Form
With cutting-edge capabilities from the flagship Nikon Z 9 packed into a lighter, more portable form factor that is Ready for Action without ever compromising the quality of creativity, the all-new Z 8 redefines the idea of adaptable agility.
“The new Z 8 is designed to be versatile; it is approximately 30% smaller than the Nikon Z 9, allowing users to shoot anywhere, anytime without any hassle. It comes equipped with industry-leading technology and cutting-edge features, providing crystal clear and high- resolution images and video up to 8K 60p with impressive detail, sharpness, and precise colour. The Z 8 gives professionals the utmost confidence to capture without limitations while producing remarkable files and uncompromising Nikon qualities that can shorten the time needed for post-production or editing.” said Dato’ Billy Lai, Business Development Director, Futuromic Photo AV Sdn. Bhd.
The new Z 8's tiny and lightweight video recording equipment, which weighs around 910g, enables agile filming for a prolonged amount of time, even for a one-person operation. The camera's compatibility with a variety of videography accessories, such as the MC-N10 Remote Grip and wireless video transmitters, as well as v-mount batteries, greatly decreases the quantity of gear required during shoots and the amount of time required for setup.
Stay versatile when packing equipment, as the High-Res Zoom allows one to zoom up to the angle of view equivalent to 2x of the focal length, even with a prime lens attached, during 4K UHD (30p/25p/24p) and Full HD video recording in full-frame. Engineered with videographers in mind, the Z 8 can record up to approx. 125 min. in 4K UHD/60p and up to approx. 90 min. in 8K UHD/30p.
Enjoy nimble and comfortable shooting angles with smooth and flexible operation, thanks to the camera’s 4-axis vertical/horizontal tilting monitor that also includes vertical display orientation. Display of the i menu is also shown in the respective orientation when tilting the monitor vertically or horizontally during shooting mode.
Choose from a wide variety of video formats as the extension of your narratives. From 12-bit N-RAW and ProRes RAW, to 10-bit Apple ProRes 422 HQ and 8 bit-H265 SDR in-camera recording, the versatility is endless whether for a creator just starting out or for a full-fledged professional. Create videos in high-definition 4K UHD/60p2, 50p2, and 30p oversampled from 8K, providing the opportunity to shoot in high-definition video that can be enjoyed on a large screen. For those requiring higher frame rates, the 4K 120p is also available for greater filmmaking flexibility. Alternatively, amp it up with 8.3K/60P (in N-RAW only) or 8K UHD/30P. Accompanied by N-Log for colour grading, users can tell impressive stories in motion.
Capture busy city scenes or epic movements of wildlife with time-lapse videos in 8K HDR in- camera that are also compatible for viewing on Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG)-compatible 8K monitors via an HDMI 2.1 connection.
Adding to the robustness of this camera is the Sereebo® P series, a new environmentally- friendly material used on the main body components, which can endure knocks and withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, the dust-and-drip resistant design helps to prevent dust and liquid from entering the camera.
Carry the Z 8 with confidence as it features a VR lock to prevent accidental damage to the image sensor when the power is turned off. Minimise the risk of dust adhering to the image sensor with a dual coating used for the optical filter and image sensor, as well as a sensor shield that comes in handy when one is attaching and detaching the lens.
Never miss out on another decisive moment with the Real-Live Viewfinder that displays subject motion in real-time with no blackout8. When capturing shots of golf swings and tennis serves, enjoy capturing a vast number of shots without worrying about shutter wear and rolling shutter distortion, thanks to the absence of a mechanical shutter.
Obtain stable shots with a powerful Vibration Reduction (VR) that achieves an effect equivalent to a shutter speed of 6.0 stops9 with the in-camera VR and Synchro VR. Electronic VR is also available for video recording.
Revel in your creativity without worrying about running out of power as the MB-N12 Power Battery Pack adds approximately 1.8x more shots and recording time while providing the same dust-and-drip-resistant performance as the Z 8. Sold separately, it is equipped for cold weather operations, even at -10 degrees Celsius, allowing USB charging and power delivery.
Rounding up the features, the camera is also the first Z series model to provide two USB terminals – one for power charging/delivery and the other for data communication – enabling power delivery during communication without experiencing sudden disconnections and hence a more reliable connection on both ends. The Z 8; ready for action and a catalyst for creators and professionals in their pursuit of creative expressions.
As for pricing and availability, the all-new Nikon Z 8 retails at MYR 18,338 for Z 8 BK SG (body only) and MYR 22,608 for Z 8 BK SG (24 – 120mm f4 kit).
