Join me this late summer morning as I take the Nikon Z8 out for a focused test on shore birding, incorporating the feedback from my last video. This time, I'm spending one morning shorebirding, putting the Z8 through its paces as I capture the dynamic movements of shorebirds and other birds in their natural habitat.
With the Nikon Z8 in hand, I’m eager to see how its impressive 45.7-megapixel FX-format stacked CMOS sensor and advanced autofocus system with 493 phase-detection points handle the fast and unpredictable movements of birds like Lapwings, Shelducks, and Common Sandpipers. I’ll also be on the lookout for Mute Swans, Mallards, Red-breasted Mergansers, and a flurry of Dunlins that populate these coastal waters.
Throughout the morning, I’ll test the Z8’s 4K video capabilities and continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second, capturing the action as it unfolds. I’ll also dive into how I’ve customized the camera’s two function buttons (Fn1 and Fn2) to streamline my workflow for wildlife photography, making quick adjustments in the field a breeze.
The Nikon Z8’s rugged build, including its 3.2-inch tilt-touchscreen LCD, dual memory card slots (CFexpress Type B/XQD and SD UHS-II), and advanced weather sealing, makes it a strong contender for challenging outdoor conditions. But how well does it perform in the real world of shore birding?
Join me as I explore the capabilities of the Nikon Z8, sharing my insights on its strengths and areas for improvement. Whether you’re into wildlife photography, videography, or just curious about this camera, I’ll give you an honest look at how it handles the beauty and challenges of late summer shore birding. Let’s see if the Nikon Z8 can help you capture those stunning, professional-quality images and videos of the diverse birdlife along the shore.
