A new forum needs a new place to discuss Z7iii Z8 specs.
With the new nikon logo and their shift to video (see the dpreview CP+ interview while it's up), will it be a box camera for high end video production?
Will it offer 16k video through high speed multi-shot high res?
Will it have a port for connecting a lens warmer, to prevent condensation on your lenses?
Probably not, but it's fun to wonder.
Hi,
I am still thinking the Z8 will be a slower shooting, higher resolution, variant in the Z9 housing.
I have nothing to point to here, just what I'd be doing were I managing the project. A Pro version of the Z7 to the Z9 being the Pro version of the Z6.
Of course, the PM at Nikon might well have different ideas. As PMs in all R+D shops do vs the other PMs....

This is tantalizing.. www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66997352
Can’t wait to hear the news with details. Should be interesting
The post was removed – might’ve been a ruse. ☹️
Hi,
All the Z8 posts with any sort of specifications have been a ruse. ;)
All I can say is: Wait For It.....

Thom mentions the Z8? The Rumors Of New Product
Interesting. I hadn’t seen that yet.
Hi,
What I know is: Once we have a Z8 announcement, then speculation threads will begin regarding the Z10.
Is that an upgrade to the Z9?
Or, a entry level model to the Z30?
And, if so, then what will the Z20 be?
It will never end! ;)
Stan
That Z10 would obviously be a really basic DX camera.
I think that you're more than likely right, though it might not have the big battery and grip.
Thom was claiming no Z8 before - instead Z7/Z6 replacements.

He claimed NikonRumors was wrong about Z8. Maybe now he has revised his mind :-)
Both things can be true. The Z7 replacement could be called 'Z8'. It depends on just what is the Z8iness of it.
If I got the Nation right...
Pakistani Nikon on its institutional site,
showed up an updated Z's cameras page with a blank slot, between the Z7 and the Z9, but no image,
(Can't remember where I've seen it.)
Nikon is dead, it is a well established fact since 20th century !
The local distributor for nikon in Pakistan (Camtronx) put up a Z8 placeholder page - they aren't actually nikon

If NR is right, taking two years (from dev announcement) to put Z9 internals in a gripless body is not exactly impressive progress on nikon's part
I believe Nikon has chosen what I called my #2 option (fraternal twins, e.g. D3 and D700). This leaves higher pixel count for the eventual Z7 III.
Nikon has been vacillating with new product launch plans. I believe that this is due to image sensor availability. I'm not sure I'm the one who changed their mind. ;~)
