Add Answer 1 Answers Does the z8 have increased dynamic range and better image quality compared to the D850 and z7 II ?
Asked by: erli
No, the Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera does not have increased dynamic range when compared with the Nikon Z7 II Mirrorless Camera and the Nikon D850 DSLR Camera. The Z8 shares the stacked sensor design of the Z9, which greatly improves processing speed and focusing. However, this does not improve on dynamic range or resolving power.
