![]() That gives the new camera significantly more processing power which helps ramp up the Z8’s performance all-round. The Nikon Z8 also features Nikon’s latest processing engine, the Expeed 7. That’s good news for snappy focusing but it also means that the lens and camera can work together to compensate for camera shake. This allows for faster communication between Z series lenses and cameras than is possible with the F mount. Nikon also took the opportunity to increase the number of contacts between the lens and the camera from 8 to 11. This and the mirrorless design of the cameras the Z mount is used on enables Nikon’s Z series cameras so be smaller than the company’s DSLRs. For example, while the F mount limits a maximum aperture to f/1.4 or f/1.2 at the very most, f/0.95 lenses are possible with the Z mount.Īt the same time as the diameter of the mount was increased, the flange depth was shrunk to 16mm. This allows for a lot more light to come into the camera and gives Nikon’s engineers greater freedom for lens design. Nikon introduced the Z mount with its first full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Z6 and Z7, now superseded by the Nikon Z6 II and Nikon Z7 II.Ī key difference between the Nikon F and Nikon Z mount is that the Z mount diameter 55mm while the F mount diameter is just 47mm. It also helps to minimise rolling shutter effect. This gives the Z8’s sensor faster data transfer, which helps to make the camera more responsive, especially the focusing and subject recognition system. The Nikon Z8 has the same resolution as the Nikon D850 but it uses a stacked CMOS design. ![]() Nikon D850: Full-frame (FX 35.9 x 23.9mm) 45.7MP backside illuminated (BSI) sensor Nikon Z8: Full-frame (FX 35.9 x 23.9mm) 45.7MP stacked backside illuminated (BSI) sensor In this post, we’ll compare the key features of the Nikon Z8 and the D850 and try to answer the question of whether D850 users should upgrade to the Nikon Z8. Today, however, the photography world is rapidly switching over to mirrorless cameras and the new Nikon Z8, which has an almost identical specification to the Nikon Z9, will undoubtedly catch the eye of many Nikon D850 users. Add in an excellent autofocus system and super image quality and you start to realise why the D850 has sold so well since it was announced in August 2017. It also has a solid, durable build without the size, weight and cost of dual-trapped DSLRs like the Nikon D6 and its predecessor the Nikon D5. For many photographers, the Nikon D850 is the perfect DSLR as it combines resolution with speed. ![]()
