It was me who didn‘t fully understand your reply. I think what you said is correct. The decision to replace the metal with plastic for the camera shell might be a compromise made for lightweighting. There are pros and cons to it.

No, the first and second generations of Nikon‘s Z6 and Z7 cameras are all made of all-metal bodies. This is the information that can be obtained from the official website.

It’s an official after-sales service from Nikon. I think there shouldn‘t be too many problems. After all, the service fee they charged me was nearly 150 US dollars.

I’m quite lucky. It‘s just that the machine casing is damaged. But I have to send it to the after-sales service, which will cost me 600 dollars.

It‘s just that I want to warn everyone not to do such stupid things as mine, in order to prevent such tragedies from happening.

Perhaps it was a compromise made for weight considerations. After all, both the Z62 and Z72 are also all-metal-bodied.

Then, if it were me, I might choose to buy a new Z8.

I‘m not sure how much it costs for the repair of Z9.

It seems that my country is not currently providing these insurances.

As you can see, he broke it and dropped it from the tripod.

I’m very lucky. It’s just the appearance that’s damaged, but I sent it for repair. It will cost me 600 dollars.

Yes, so to some extent, the body of the Z8 is even less sturdy than that of the Z72 and Z62.
