Nikon Z8 Videocentric Z9 beast

Slow drumming from the shadows... and 3 questions

1) How does a Z8 be videocentric against what was just released?

2) How fast can a 24mp version of Z9 take raw photos?

3) Will they finally just throw a 5 inch detachable HDMI monitor in the box instead of an articulating screen? Or at the very least a 5 inch flippy screen via the 3 year old Sharp 8K prototype.

Allot of anticipation for the Z8 in Japan at the moment. Can't count how many times I have heard cameramen and women say "The Z9 seems great, but what I really want is the Z8". Expectations are high.

Seems to be the similar specs of future S1H II

@endotoxic I wonder which cames next: a Lumix G PDAF or a S1H M2.

S1h M2 spend your hard dollars first, then put the cheaper version for later spending.

I'd personally stay away from companies with anti-consumer policies like this!

Howdy, Stranger!
