Nikon NIKKOR ZR Announced
The first cinematic Nikon camera, the Nikon ZR, has been announced.
The dedicated special contents page and technical specifications of the camera can be viewed here:
It uses the same partially stacked sensor as the Z6III, but with its ergonomics and controls adapted for video creators.
On top of that, it also introduces RED raw (R3D) to Nikon cameras for the first time.
One interesting note of this product is the lack of a mechanical shutter - while the partially stacked sensor of the Z6III/ZR works well for videos, for stills photography its readout speed may be a concern for pairing with strobes or with artificial lighting, so that may be a point to take note when using the ZR for photos.
Looking forward to how the Cinema line will turn out over time.
