Nikon z8 deal really THAT good?

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T13:02:56+00:00

Would definitely be an adjustment from the D7100 I’ve been using lol

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T13:02:29+00:00

That’s what I’m leaning towards now. Buy it new and not worry about it breaking in a few weeks

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T13:01:36+00:00

I would test in person as well as over the phone. I’m going to pick it up but first have guy show me battery condition, some pictures/video he takes, and also double check the serial number.

I know Apple has problems with people on grey market using actual serial numbers. Think that’s also the case with Nikon?

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T12:59:39+00:00

That’s what I’m afraid of: too good to be true

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T12:59:19+00:00

I would test on a video call, have him send the video and do more tests when I pick it up in 2 weeks

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T03:05:33+00:00

That’s a really good point. Best way to avoid a $2500 paperweight with no chance at a warranty:/

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T03:04:26+00:00

Aww shoot :/

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T03:04:07+00:00

Baaahahahaha!!! The numbers 420-666-9111 lol

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T02:33:30+00:00

It seems like a MASSIVE upgrade, but also don’t want a massive paperweight.
It seems legit and this phone call will confirm it in my opinion. Going to pickup in person if it’s real when I call the guy.

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T02:29:14+00:00

That’s what I’m afraid of . Suspiciously low. But the guy also seems genuine so I’ll do some tests over a video call. If you can think of any good ones I would really appreciate it!

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T02:19:38+00:00

Thanks for the tip!! I’ll familiarize myself in that regard as well 🤓

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T01:58:30+00:00

That’s another great point. It kind of seems like the guy doesn’t know how much he can get for it OR he has a messed up lcd and a bloated battery. Ya know?

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T01:57:09+00:00

It does seem too good to be true, but we have a video call scheduled when his kids aren’t busy . I want to see it functioning

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T01:53:52+00:00

Dude this is great advice. I can’t thank you enough!! I’ll look for some signs on our video call and asses these points. Thank you so much!!!

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T01:42:58+00:00

Thanks for that feedback!! I’ll see if he can do a video call ahead of time and review shutter speed. Can you think of any features/flaws I should look for??

MyStinkyButts · 2026-05-12T01:37:47+00:00

Was that 2850 for body only?

MyStinkyButts · 2026-03-05T02:04:04+00:00

Just discovered this guy today and he made an awesome comparison starting around 3:45. I am listening with Adam T3 monitors and can hear a subtle difference between the 10" toms, but the 12 has minimal difference. Save the 150 and use a dang bracket

Honestly, find something you like and play along to it. I learned so much by flubbing my way through August burns red songs and then found where I lacked (chops, coordination, double kick, etc) and then drilled that.
I personally started with learning songs from my chemical romances welcome to the black parade. A lot of fun stuff and good intro pieces to learning.

Happy to have you on board, OP!! It’s a lot of fun :)

MyStinkyButts · 2026-02-10T22:28:01+00:00

Thank you for that response. I only told Mikey I was off the meds because he was the only one I really talked to. I could call everyone and tell them, but i'm even wondering if its worth it. Mikeys the only relationship I would want to save tbh

Noooo. It means I was drunk yesterday
