Are you a pro photographer or an enthusiastic amateur looking to take your camera work to the next level? Then now's the time to take the plunge, because this Nikon Z8, an absolute powerhouse of a mirrorless camera, is up to $800 off.
You can get the Nikon Z8 and 24-120mm f/4 lens bundle on sale right now at B&H Photo for $4297 or the Nikon Z8 body only for $3397 at Amazon.
The Nikon Z8 camera is a top-tier camera, designed for pros, and it's an absolute steal at $800 off with a lens or $700 off without. We think it's the best mirrorless camera on the market and the best mirrorless camera for astrophotography, making it ideal for capturing spectacular images of the lunar eclipse in March.
This is the cheapest the camera has ever been, too, beating even its Black Friday and holiday season prices. But you'll have to move fast, stock of the body-only Nikon Z8 is seriously limited.
Save $603 on the Nikon Z8, the best mirrorless camera on the market and the best mirrorless camera for astrophotography. This is a pro-level camera that should be with you for years and this is the cheapest it's ever been. You'll need to provide your own lens and while stock is limited at Amazon it's also the same price at Adorama and B+H Photo.
Alternatively, save $800 on the Nikon Z8 with a Nikkor 24-120mm f/4 lens, the perfect pairing. We awarded it a massive five stars in our Nikon Z8 review and, again, this beats even Black Friday's price.
- We're constantly checking the best prices for big discounts on the best telescopes, binoculars, star projectors, cameras, drones, Lego, streaming and more.
Whether you're a serious photographer, shooting for business, or just an enthusiastic amateur, this Nikon Z8 is an absolute steal at $800 off with a lens or $700 without. You're actually saving more on the bundle too, since the Nikkor 24-120mm f/4 lens, a seriously capable lens, often sells for $1,000 on its own.
This is a camera that will stay with you for years. In our Nikon Z8 review, we awarded it a massive 5 out of 5 stars. It boasts super noise handling, fantastically detailed photos and videos (including 60FPS 8K video), an astonishing 120fps burst speed and superb autofocus detection.
Despite all that functionality, it's easy enough to use. Its buttons are sensibly placed and once you get to grips with it, you'll never want to put it down. Our only real criticism was the price tag, but at $800 this deal is hard to beat. If it does sell out at Amazon, the body-only Nikon Z8 is also the same price at Adorama and B+H Photo.
