DPreview, a professional photographic equipment, has officially announced the results of its 2023 Dpreview Awards 2022. The purpose of this award is to comprehensively evaluate the imaging products released in the past year, and select the best products in each category to recommend to photography enthusiasts. The Nikon Z 8 mirrorless camera won the Product of the Year and Best High-end Camera of the Year awards, while the Nikon Z F mirrorless camera won the Best Audiophile Camera of the Year.
The Nikon Z 8 won both Product of the Year and Best High-End Camera of the Year in this selection. In the review, DPRewk affirmed the Z 8's performance and cost-effectiveness. Although the Z 8 isn't too low, it stands out in terms of value for money considering it "can do almost everything the Z 9 can do". DPReave believes that the Z 8 fully demonstrates the high speed and high resolution characteristics of a stacked CMOS, combining the features that were previously only experienced by professional users into a camera that ordinary hobbyists can have the opportunity to own. At the same time, they also compared the Z 8 to the D850 of the DSLR era, saying: "Even though the Z 8 is slightly smaller than the standard model of Nikon's DSLR camera, the D850, it is still superior to the latter in every way." On top of this, DPReper also praised the Z 8's autofocus, image quality, and quality, saying that it can "easily handle the most challenging shooting environments" and "compete with the best landscape cameras." "Whatever the requirements, the Z 8 can support it, so it's hard not to be impressed. ", concludes dpreview.
The Nikon Z F was voted the best enthusiast camera of the year by DPREVIEW. Nikon has long promised a full-frame mirrorless camera that combines modern technology with a retro look. While the Z F is not yet fully evaluated, they believe that Nikon has not broken its promise, and that the Z F has done an excellent job of delivering on that promise. It boasts excellent image quality, improved specs, and dramatically improved autofocus. "Even though the retro style has been around for so many years," says Dpreviw, "the Z F still stands out from the crowd of vintage cameras." ”
