![]() ![]() ![]() Nauticam: Serious hybrid shooters with deep pockets will want to consider the NA-Z8 housing, as it comes equipped with a large-bore M24 port for hooking up an external monitor/recorder such as the Atomos Ninja+, which is capable of capturing both 8K/30p and 4K/120p in ProRes RAW.This housing is also among the models that can be fitted with the company’s new USB-C Charging and Data Transfer Bulkhead ( see Accessories), so you never need to take the camera out of the housing again! $1,895 | | The new 200DL housing offers the usual Ikelite benefits, including a clear view of the camera, so you can check that your investment is safe and secure inside, as well as out-of-the-box electronic triggering of strobes in manual mode, with the option of adding a TTL converter for on-the-fly switching between manual and TTL. Ikelite: The Z8 may save you some serious money compared to its pricier sibling, but it’s still not exactly cheap, so if you want a full-featured but affordable housing, Ikelite is the way to go.In our recent review of the Z9, reviewer Nicolas Remy suggested many people would find it “hard to beat.” But Nikon quite possibly did that themselves: The smaller, lighter, and much less expensive Z8-read: “baby Z9”-will be, for many pros and enthusiasts, the ultimate all-round tool for underwater imaging. Behold, the Z8! Essentially, it’s a Z9 with around half the battery life, and one of the two CFexpress card slots downgraded to an SD card slot. And then something extraordinary happened: Nikon put the same camera in a much smaller box and knocked a healthy $1,500 off the price. With its 45.7MP stacked CMOS sensor, 8K/60p RAW video capture, and ability to shoot 20fps RAW bursts for 1,000-plus frames, Nikon’s flaghip Z9 made hybrid shooters drool and weep at the same time: This was the camera of our dreams, but the price tag-a cool $5,500-was the stuff of nightmares. ![]()
