Verdict
Pick the Nikon Z8 if you need faster burst shooting, 8K video, or in-body stabilization and can justify the higher cost. The Nikon D850 stays the better choice if you prefer a DSLR form factor, don’t require advanced video features, or want to save over 1,600 EUR for nearly identical stills resolution.
