NIKON ZR

I t’s been a long time since the launch of a camera sent waves around the filmmaking world at all levels. That’s precisely what’s happened now that Nikon has revealed its first Z Cinema model. Even though it’s a prosumer-level camera with the sensor of an existing mirrorless model from Nikon’s range, the ZR has got everyone talking due to its low price, shockingly high spec and the magic name Red.

It’s Nikon’s first camera made in collaboration with subsidiary company Red, whose talented engineers have reworked the 24.5- megapixel, semi-stacked full-frame sensor of the Nikon Z 6III for dual base ISOs of 800 and 6400, as well as increasing the dynamic range to a claimed 15+ stops. Best of all, the camera can record three different internal Raw codecs including Red’s new R3D NE.
