Nikon Z8 rumors from China confirm what we think we know about the Z8


Some Nikon Z8 rumors from China sent by a reader:

“I am just a Nikon user who wakes up every day to check NikonRumors website about the Nikon z8. I have been waiting for the new Nikon z8 and I am excited to find out on Bilibili that a photographer working with Nikon claims that what we expect will be satisfied as the screenshots says. In the comments below, due to confidentiality, he suggests that we can search some rumors he said before because they are out of control from Nikon officials, so I searched the rumor he said. In the other screenshot he said for sure that Z8 is the mini Z9, so I assume the z8 is 45MP and it is not a camera specialized for video only.”

There are similar discussions on the Nikon Z8 Facebook group – see here and here.

For the native speakers, here are the original screenshots from Bilibili (see here and here):
