Nikon Z8 service recall

There are currently (August 2023) two service recalls for the Nikon Z8. One for a lens mount issue and the other for a camera strap issue. Both of which effect the Z8 I own.

I’m sure there will be loads of social media commentary trashing both the company and the camera. And I do feel for the people who have broken kit due to the strap coming away from their camera.

This photographer did an in depth look into the lens mount issue if you want more information on that.

I don’t use a camera strap on my Z8 and I haven’t noticed any issue mounting lenses.

Companies acknowledging that there are issues with their products and are doing something about the problem is a good thing. Creating an atmosphere where it makes it harder to do this isn’t helpful. Especially as they appear to be minor components.

I’m in no hurry to send my Z8 in for repair. These two product advisories don’t really alarm me.
