When I think of the closest Sony camera to the Nikon Z8, I think of the Sony a1 in terms of speed and resolution.

Alongside the announcement of the Nikon Z8, Nikon also released 22 sample photos, most of which have full EXIF data. I’m publishing all of them below, alongside some crops to show performance at various ISO values (although there aren’t any surprises given that the camera shares the sensor of the Z9).
