We think the Nikon Z8 is the best hybrid camera for pros and it just hit a record-low price

This week's ongoing spring sales at top retailers feature superb camera deals, including some of the biggest-ever price cuts on several of our favorite models here at TechRadar.

One example is the excellent Nikon Z8 on sale for just $3396.95 (was $3999) at Adorama. I've had my eye on this incredible hybrid camera for a while now and this discount beats the previous record by $100. With a total saving of $700, this could be one of the best value buys on the market if you're looking for a pro-grade hybrid body.

Sure, the Z8 is still expensive, but you get a full-frame 45.7MP stacked sensor, support for 20FPS burst shooting, and 8K video. That's all in a body that's smaller and lighter than the chunky top-of-the-line Z9.

All of the above is why we highly rate the Nikon Z8 in our best mirrorless cameras buyer's guide.

Is it overkill for most? Undoubtedly, but the Z8 is a fantastic 'do everything' camera that can cover a vast range of both photo and video tasks. The rapidly expanding Z-Mount ecosystem also includes some fantastic lenses (such as this stunning new Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 LAB).

Nikon Z8 record-low price

Note that there are plenty of other awesome camera deals to check out today at Adorama and other leading retailers. One such excellent deal that I've already featured this week is on the new Canon EOS R5 Mark II - a compelling rival to the Nikon Z8. You can check out that deal and a few other highlights just down below.
