Video: page states "Internal 8K/60p and 4K/120p video" and "12-bit N-RAW Up to 8K/60p"; RAW video spec lists FX 8256 x 4644 /60p, so highest-resolution mode recorded as 8K@60p (the 8K UHD 7,680x4,320 entry in the spec table tops at 30p; the 8K/60p mode is Nikon's N-RAW 8256x4644).

No release date is stated anywhere on the fetched page (the only date, "As of May 10, 2023", is a comparison-claim footnote, not a release), so releaseDate and specs.release are null rather than guessed.
