>>4176760its literally whole ass different sensor. its actually the exact same sensor that is in the Z9.
also, the Z8 is now taking the #1 spot from the a7IV, for the best performance/price ratio camera. Nikon of all manufacturers made the best sub $5,000 camera body on the market up to date. Nothing beats z8 under $5,000 price point.
Basically you pay only $3.8k to get the flagship Z9 sensor, at this point other specs of the camera dont even matter, just the fact that you're getting a flagship sensor for dirt cheap makes this camera the best choice outside of straight up buying flagship cameras.
The only issue (which is not really an issue) is that its a NIKON camera. its not a snoy or a cannon't so youtubers, influencers and hipsters cant brag about their brand new popular brand camera.
