“Seeing this Nikon Z8 deal is painful — especially since I bought mine at full price!” Our Senior Manager took the hit so you don’t have to!
When Jase found out about Walmart's lowest-ever price tag for one of our favorite cameras for astrophotography, we almost didn't share it with them.

The Nikon Z8 is an exceptional camera, so much so that our Senior Manager, Jase, bought one recently for astrophotography. Unlucky for them, though, as they paid full price for it.
Since Jase's Nikon Z8 review, there have been several price drops during sales events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday, but we've yet to see it as cheap as Walmart's current price of $3,189.95. This is $80 less than Amazon's current listing price of $3,268, though we expect that to price match soon.
Pick up the Nikon Z8 for $3,189.95 at Walmart today — the cheapest we've seen online right now.
The Z8 is our choice as the best overall camera. There is nothing the Nikon Z8 can't do. It is especially great for astrophotographers and low-light shooters. This is the cheapest we've ever seen it.
We know, we know, this camera, even at the discounted rate, isn't cheap, but there's a reason we rave about it. The Nikon Z8 features in many of our 'best for' guides, including the best cameras for photo and video, where we rank it as best overall, the best cameras for astrophotography, and the best Nikon cameras. We can't remember a time when we've seen the price lower than $3,200.
In Jase's hands-on Nikon Z8 review, they awarded it 5/5 stars, praising both its specifications and real-world performance. A particularly impressive feature is the Starlight View mode, which enables autofocus detection down to -9EV. The best Jase had seen (and they have seen and tested a lot of amazing cameras over the years). There is a dedicated night vision mode for astrophotographers and an expanded ISO range up to 102,400.
Previously the Managing Editor for Space and sister title Live Science, Jase has been an editor and contributing expert across a wide range of publications since 2010. They were also a working professional photographer for over a decade. Jase loved this camera so much that they bought one for themselves.
The Nikon Z8 has plenty of features that make it a fantastic choice for low-light photography and astrophotography, but those weren't the only things that impressed Jase during his review.
