Only a few hours left


The Nikon Z8 should be officially announced in a few hours. We will probably first see a video presentation followed later by a live event from Photo London (as already reported last month):

Nikon is an official partner of Photo London and if you search for Nikon Z8 on their website, you will get this:


If you do a search for Nikon Z1 or Nikon Z10 or any other non-existing camera, you will get “Sorry, no content found.” Clearly, at some point, they had a Nikon Z8 reference on their website.

Nikon Z8 Facebook Group

The new Nikon Z8 Facebook Group already has more than 10,000 members – join now before the official announcement.
