Nikon Z8: The Ultimate Hybrid Camera

Nikon has been a staple in the world of photography for years, and with the release of the Nikon Z8, they have proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with. This full-frame, 45.7 -megapixel beast of a camera is a testament to the company's dedication to innovation and the needs of professional photographers. With outstanding image quality, high-speed performance, and advanced video capabilities, the Z8 is an unparalleled hybrid camera that caters to photographers and videographers alike.

Read on to find out about the Nikon Z8 price in India and the expected launch date in India. Though we must tell you, Nikon India has already started taking pre-orders.

IN A NUTSHELL THE NIKON Z8 is a Baby Z9

In a nutshell, the Nikon Z8 can be called a Baby Nikon Z9. Also, it is more than a worthy successor to the Nikon DSLR King, the Nikon D850.

The Z8's most impressive feature is its whopping 45.7-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, which is capable of capturing stunningly sharp and detailed images.

This is the same sensor with a fast readout speed that is present in the Nikon flagship Nikon Z9.

The new EXPEED 7 image processor complements the high-resolution sensor perfectly, reducing noise and ensuring smooth gradations even in challenging lighting conditions.

Nikon has substantially improved the autofocus system in the Z8, utilizing a 493-point hybrid AF system that covers approximately 90% of the image area. The camera's autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate, ensuring that you never miss a shot, even in low-light situations.

The Z8 is not just a powerhouse for still photography, but also a formidable contender in the video department. The camera supports 8K video recording at 30fps and 4K at 120fps, which is perfect for capturing smooth slow-motion footage. Additionally, it offers 10-bit N-Log and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) recording options for those who want more flexibility in post-production.

The camera's 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) ensures smooth, steady footage even when shooting handheld.

Nikon has maintained the robust build quality and weather sealing that the Z series is known for in the Z8. Its magnesium alloy body is both lightweight and durable, making it perfect for photographers who often shoot in harsh conditions.

The Nikon Z8 is a testament to the company's commitment to excellence, providing an advanced set of features at an extremely affordable price.

Fujifilm X-T30 released, availibilty and price in India

Fujifilm XT-30 - Features, price in India and availability

Fujifilm just released the Fujifilm XT-30 which they are referring to as "The Little Giant" - and perhaps rightly so because it offers almost all the features of the Fujifilm X-T3 including the premium image quality at a more accessible price than ever before.

What is inside?

Inside the X-T30 is a 26.1-megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor with an ISO range of 160-12800 which is expandable to ISO 80- ISO 5120.

What are we excited about?

The new Fujifilm X-T30, offers almost a similar performance to the Fujifilm X-T3, in a smaller, lighter and less pricey body. It has the same phase-detection autofocus system with (almost) 100% frame coverage and blackout-free high-speed continuous shooting (stills) of up to 30fps.

The X-Processor 4 Quad-Core CPU ensures the camera can shoot 30fps at 1.25x crop (photography/stills mode) and 20fps without a crop with electronic shutter, or 8fps with the mechanical shutter.

In the Advanced SR Auto mode, the camera examines the scene and automatically selects optimum autofocus and exposure settings. This mode is useful for situations where it is difficult to judge the right exposure settings. You only need to press the shutter and the camera does the rest.

What are the physical features?

The X-T30 is compact and lightweight and weighs just 383g. The shape has been designed for enhanced stability when holding the camera.

The selector buttons at the back of the camera have been replaced by a focus lever as can be seen in the image below.

Fujifilm_xt-30_back_joystick.png

What are the video features?

As far as video is concerned, thanks to the 4th generation image sensor and processor, the FUJIFILM X-T30 has some awesome 4K video recording features. It actually records in 6K (6240x3510) to produce stunning quality in 4K (3810x2160). The Fujifilm X-T30 can shoot 4K at 30fps and 1080p at 120 fps.

The camera also supports the DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) 4K format at 17:9, which gives an even more cinematic look to the videos. Last but not the least, F-Log recording and 4:2:2 10bit output via the HDMI port are also supported making the camera suitable to produce professional videos. You can also shoot 4K movies using any of the Film Simulation modes available on the X-T30 ETERNA, is particularly suitable for video thanks to its subdued colors and rich shadow tones, giving a cinematic look. ACROS delivers monochrome video with fine textures and rich gradation, while CLASSIC CHROME creates a unique atmosphere, reminiscent of vintage reversal films. Velvia gives an option of giving high saturation to video imagery.

What about face detection and eye detect?

Face and eye-detection AF is also available when recording video. Together with the "Face Select" function, you can switch who is in focus while recording by using the touchscreen panel or the Focus Lever. Watch the performance in the video below.

The Fujifilm X-T30 will be available starting in March 2019 with a price tag of $899 for the body only, $999 when bundled with an XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS lens, or $1,299 when bundled with an 18-55mm f/2.8-4 lens.
