ZR

The D850 is widely regarded as the best DSLR ever made, I have never seen any hate towards that. Nikon was very late to bring out anything good for video (the Z6iii and ZR being the exception) whereas Canon filled that space a long time ago. This is no longer the case, but the reputation will persis

Based on SAR article that came out today, it looks like it will be the FX5. It will be a mini Venice with the menu outlay of the Venice and it will be very similar to the Canon C50 body. Could see it being priced accordingly or, they could significantly drop the price of the FX3A and put the price f

I’ve done some research and the gap is closing until you can spend 2k on something solid used or even a Nikon ZR. If you already get the newest iPhone or the year before and pay monthly for it, not a terrible thought process. This person probably spent $500 bucks tops, for something to hold up to an

It’s all quality of life improvements at the end of the day. I would assume all of us here are trying to tell a good story. You can tell an amazing story with a camera that came out five or even 10 years ago. The FX5’s image doesn’t automatically tell a better story. The RAW recording doesn’t automa

Seriously: Who cares about raw? It’s a format that makes sense if you shooting with a bigger production. But a fx5 / Nikon ZR / Blackmagic is not a camera I would choose for a more serious production anyway This small cameras are for small crew, run and gun, and I don’t want to think about the file

Loving it so far. I actually sold my Z8 for the ZR. I was using the Z8 mostly for video, and the ZR just makes more sense for that. It is smaller, lighter, and I don't think I'll be using my Camera Monitor anymore (Beautiful 4 inch screen). I won't miss the bulk at all, especially for handheld or gi

"....looking on upgrading to the Nikon Z6ii or Z5ii next year." The Z6II will not feel like much of an upgrade. When you do get around to upgrading, don't bother with anything other than an EXPEED 7 body - they are an order of magnitude better in the AF department. Currently that means a Z50II, Z5II

Still no slow motion open gate and still no third party lenses—plus no LUMIX stabilization. Internal false color and LUMIX Lab/Real Time LUT are also very very important features for me. Canon has definitely piqued my interest, but they’re still a few years behind LUMIX. Same with Nikon ZR.

For what it’s worth I’m a full time videographer (not cinematographer) working closely with brands such as Amazon, Uber, Honda, Tourism Australia etc. My daily is the pocket 4K, original, with the ultra speed booster for a full frame circle and I have to say the new Nikon ZR, canon R5II etc are clos

I would never swap a Pyxis 6K for a Nikon ZR. That form factor and those files sizes are just a no go apart from using it as a B Cam. The file sizes truly are gigantic and atm no way to select a higher compression. I moved from a Pyxis 6K to a Red Komodo X. Main reason for me was the global shutter,
