The Nikon Z8 price of $3,599 is just a guess I guess (updated: 100% fake)

By [NR] admin | Published: April 27, 2023


The above screenshot is circulating on Chinese social media and suggests the price of the Nikn Z8 will be $3,599. As far as I know, dealers have not yet received any details on the Z8 pricing and the Z8 picture is fake. In addition, I believe the Z8 price will be higher than $3,599. I believe a random dealer is just trying to get some attention and pre-orders by creating a listing without having any real information from Nikon – see also this B&H listing and at Foto Koch:


The Nikon Z7 II camera is currently priced at $2,596 and I just don’t see how you will get a mini-Z9 for $1,000 more.

Update: the Nikon Z8 price and listing are 100% fake.

I am still getting small bits and pieces of information on the Nikon Z8 camera. The latest rumors suggest that the Nikon Z8 camera body or parts will be made out of high-stiffness carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastics or a similar material. For comparison, the Nikon Z9 has a magnesium alloy body.
