Does Nikon Z8 work with Samsung PRO Plus 256GB SD?

COMPATIBLEVerified from manufacturer spec sheet

Yes, the Nikon Z8 is compatible with the Samsung PRO Plus 256GB SD.

Nikon Z8 Slot 2 accepts UHS-I SD cards. Samsung Pro Plus is UHS-I V30 (~90 MB/s) -- meets the Z8 minimum for basic video recording (UHS Speed Class 3 required) and still photography. Cannot record video at high frame size or rate, which requires a minimum 250 MB/s SD card per Nikon specification.

Conditions for compatibility

Compatible for still photography and basic H.265/H.264 video recording (UHS Speed Class 3 met). Cannot record video at high frame size or rate (requires 250 MB/s — Samsung Pro Plus at 130 MB/s UHS-I V30 does not qualify). N-RAW and ProRes RAW HQ are CFexpress Type B only. Not recommended for demanding video workflows.
