Nikon Z8 vs Panasonic Lumix S1R II
The Nikon Z8 and the Panasonic Lumix S1R II side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Panasonic Lumix S1R II if you want a newer model (2025 against 2023), which usually means better autofocus and video and a lighter body (795 g against 910 g). On these specs the Nikon Z8 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Nikon Z or L-Mount lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
