Firmware updates included! Updates covering firmware enhancements for the Z9 and Z8 will be provided as they are issued by Nikon.

These two cameras share a high-resolution 46-megapixel BSI stacked sensor powered by a performance-enhancing dual-channel EXPEED 7 image processor.

    • Best Guidebook and Reference Out There
Format: Paperback
You can always count on David Busch to explain every camera feature clearly, and to tell you when and why you might want to use that feature. Beautifully organized, great illustrations, and comprehensive. I don't think you will find a better guidebook for the Nikon Z8 or Z9.

    • Good Guide
Format: Paperback
Great review on these cameras, as all of Busch’s book are. One disappointment though was in the preface it states “What you really need is a guide that explains the purpose and function of the camera’s basic controls, available lens options….How you should use them and why. This is that book” There is no chapter at all, or no recommendations as in past manuals, of available or recommended lenses as in past books. No real mentions of lenses at all. Disappointing. ... show more

    • Nikon reference must have
Format: Paperback
Great reference book to have. Helps to understand how the camera works, not just how the knobs are located. Easier to use than searching in the phone or computer. Second book I’ve used from this author. Pictures and recommendations are useful.

    • This is the perfect book for one needing answers.
Format: Paperback
This is a very thorough book, but not one to push into one's rear pocket. These cameras are extremely complex, and sometimes I just need an easy lookup for something very specific. This book fits that niche very nicely. It does not err on the part of brevity, but provides understandable responses to questions I've had. ... show more
