Footage by Jeff Milisen
Blackwater expert Jeff Milisen makes the switch from DSLR to mirrorless and takes the Nikon Z8 for a test-drive. Shot in a variety of settings from wide angle to macro and even the dark and strange conditions of blackwater, Jeff puts the Nikon Z8 to the test and finds it a winner.
"The 5-axis stabilization system in the Z8 produces a smooth video every time, no matter how much surge is pummeling around you… And while the stabilization was rock-stable, the high frame rate was the icing on the video cake. The Z8 shoots 4K at up to 120 frames per second, meaning you can slow it way down in post and still have a smooth shot… Add in the fact that it will shoot 8K in RAW Video, and you have a monster of a video machine."
