I gotta say as a Nikon shooter, I feel like Nikon is really taking care of us. Nikon continues to deliver spectacular updates, all for free!

[riteshkc]

Love how Nikon is taking care of their customers! Thanks Nikon!!

[billboggess]

Nikon is supplying great products with meaningful features that enable greater creativity. They’re back. Thank you Nikon!

[villakapoor]

I ❤ my Z8
This update is the cherry on the cake, thankyou Nikon and thank you for your great YouTube channel

[seemyworld]

This is a huge relief. The Z8 was a large expense for me, and knowing it will continue to be upgraded is reassuring.

[suevo]

Out of the park. Love my Z8 and now will be supercharged. A+++For Nikon and this is excellent to hear the photographers who, in the end will use this excellent upscalable product until the hardware permits it. Again 💪💪💪💪💪 for Nikon, you are the best!!!

[stkuj]

I shoot Sony now, but have been looking at the Z8 for a bit now. I'm so jealous! I hope Sony is watching what Nikon does!

[Thorset]

Today my Z8 will arrive at home. I’m so exited to unbox my new camera. And the first thing after charging the battery is to install the new firmware. Next weekend, I will start a few photo projects in my beautiful home area in the south-west of Germany. Thank you Matt for the exiting news in this video. Best Regards, Thorsten.

This was more than expected! Thanks. As a user of Nikon and Sony top cameras, I just love how Nikon has released these major improvements in such a short period of time. Sony however just refuses to give its users (especially a1 users) minor improvements. That is why I’m looking to part ways with Sony. Sony can learn a great deal from Nikon in this area.

[FrancescoBorsotti]

Believe it or not, yesterday I was thinking about "when will I see a new FW update for my Z8?".... I woke up this morning and there it is. Superb! And I was not expecting the Pixel Shift as in my new Zf. I'm so glad I kept on trusting Nikon!

[JC_Hebert_artiste-photographe]

Yes I own a Z8 and am excited. Cannot wait to try the bird tracking

[SpotBentley]

I just received an email from Nikon Canada about the firmware update. Awesome news.

[ninepinezine]

Great that Nikon have delivered this in Windows as an unzipped .BIN file. Much more straightforward to apply and better for other OS such as Linux.

[ThePinoyAggie]

As a Nikon Z user (Z6ii, Z7ii, and Z8), thank you very much Nikon!

[dragracingwithmary]

I've been a Nikon user for going on 17 years, my latest is the Z8 & was never ever tempted to switch brands.

[rickpinelli]

I am anxiously awaiting the next Z9 firmware update!

[bubbavonbraun]

Looking forward to these features creeping up into the Z9.. Nikon camera as a platform is the thing. Z8 as a remote is now a consideration for me with auto capture, I was never comfortable leaving Z9's out on the range..

[Chris-]

Totally agree Matt, I shoot Nikon, Sony and Fuji for lots of different reason . Nikon is unquestionably the best in this and other respects at the moment . I can’t comment on Canon as I have never had a desire to own one . Thank you for a great video again 🙏

[johnforbes]

I own both the Z8 and Z9 and I'm very impressed that Nikon continues to update the firmware on these great cameras!

[mikewilliams]

Yes, I own a Z8 and I am excited to receive firmware 2.0. Thank you for explaining the features of this new firmware package.
