The Nikon Z8 is rumored to be announced/released in 2023. The timeframe I received from multiple sources is late March 2023 or early April 2023 (Spring 2023), but I am still not sure if this is for the official announcement or for the release/shipping date.

No matter what the details are, it seems that people who have seen and tried the Nikon Z8 camera are very excited about it and believe it will be an even bigger hit than the Nikon Z9…
