NIKON Announces the ZR– An R3D enabled mirrorless camera.

Well it finally happened. The first love child of Red and Nikon has been born. Heres some cool videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvseC...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHczB...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYtXi...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhfSQ...

The ZR's KEY FEATURES:
Fusion of RED + Nikon Cinema Technology
6K Full-Frame Z-Mount Cinema Camera
REDCODE RAW R3D + N-RAW Recording
ProRes RAW/HQ, H.265/H.264 Codecs
32-Bit Float Audio, Dual-Base ISO
Bright, Folding 4″ DCI-P3 Display
Built-In 3D LUTs, Digital Accessory Shoe
Dual Built-In Microphones
15+ Stops Advertised Dynamic Range
Frame.io Cloud Integration

The NIKON ZR can record in the following codecs:
6K REDCODE RAW (R3D NE) / 12-bit
NIKON N-RAW / 12-bit
ProRes RAW HQ
ProRes 422 HQ
H.265 / 10-bit / 8-bit
H.264 / 8-bit

The NIKON ZR has a 24.5 MP 35.9mm x 23.9mm Full-Frame CMOS sensor with EXPEED 7 image-processing engine, thats the same one found in the Z9.

I believe this is the same 24.5MP Partially-Stacked CMOS Sensor that is found in the Z6 III and is most likely why the ZR has a good readout with reduced rolling shutter.

The big talking points os far seem to be the larger flip out screen, micro HDMI, poor memory card placement and overheating issues. But the footage is looking great.

Have to wait and see how this camera evolves in the coming months. But one thing is for sure, at the price point with ZRAW, ProRes RAW and R3D for sub 3k, its hard to beat. Black magic instantly dropped the price of the Pyxis 6k to 2495 USD, but why would you get that over this.....?

CHANNEL UPDATE:
The CINE channel is under music copyright attack. Every AUDIIO MUSIC track used is being claimed by 3rd parties. I will therefore no longer be using music on my channel videos. I just don't need the grief of trying to navigate Youtube ridiculous copyright system, that continuously rewards fake claimants. ‪@YouTube‬ Even ‪@artlist_io‬ has claimed copyright on music purchased from AUDIIO and is claiming 100% of original content monetisation. This automated system is clearly broken and is why I wont be using music in any further video.

Yesterday's news that Nikon has now eliminated Red's V-Ratopr and Komodo cameras in Canon RF mount, was predictable to say the least. But with so many more capable and much cheaper large format camera options now on the market, I find it hard to understand why, the switch to Nikon mount is the only upgrade offered. No improved NIKON AF. Just a lens mount and some adapters. Perhaps this is just a way of clearing stock before NAB 2025, where I think Nikon / Red will launch something that will excite everyone. Maybe I'm off base, let me know what you think. Fascinating times.....
