First of all you might wonder who is this guy, well I did occasionally (not not often) post on the old forum and did make the move to here but then "forgot" to checkin.
Now I am so excited about my new Z8 that I have to share it with someone, so I am back :-)

First thing I did was to turn off the fake shutter sound (hate fake sounds), put it in high speed (well only 20 pics/sec not the 120 one) and pressed the release - noting happened, no sound, no blackout, same real-time view in the viewfinder as before - so wondered what I was missing, let go of the release button to check the settings...
... Only to realize the camera has stored more than 200 pictures on the CFexpress card :lol:- that felt so surreal, when you are used to the "tak", "tak", "tak" sound from mirror/shutter it is going to take some getting used to in a good way ;-)

I have an Z7, so not entirely new to mirror-less cameras, but the Z7 view-finder shudders at "high speed" and you can hear the shutter working and is thus never in doubt when it is taking pictures - the Z8 is in a completely different animal.
