Quote from: Bart Ros on July 22, 2023, 21:30:03Hi,

This issue happened to me. As an update. Nikon has given me a brand new Z8. Is kudos on them.

I was also informed its a known issue. And distributors are asked to check the units for the flaw. As will Nikon service centers when units are recalled for the mount issue.

The unit I got is a newer model. But I wont ever use the lug again.

Greetings.

Thank you for the update. I'm glad Nikon sorted it out, as was necessary in this situation. It's fairly obviously a manufacturing defect.

Totally embarrassing considering how much of a premium Nikon et al is charging nowadays for a camera, in this case £4000. I keep wondering who even buys these, the last time I bought a camera with a full-frame sensor it "only" cost me about £1200.
And yes, mine is still in one piece after years and years of use. I haven't seen an improvement that warrants 3x price increase.

Several Nikon Z8 users have reported failing or loose camera strap lugs. This is the second issue the Z8 has had since its inception — one of which was also an issue with the Z9 previously and resulted in a recall in both cases. Nikon has yet to issue a recall regarding the loose strap lugs on the Z8, but repeated build quality issues may tarnish Nikon's reputation as a hardware manufacturer.
