Why the Pocket 4K needs a V2

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

is there any reason to buy A7SIII since we have Nikon ZR just released?

Look up Gerald Undones video on the ZR. If you actually work with the camera the FX3/S3 is still a much better option for your workflow and ofcourse lens availability. Having internal RAW is nice but the filesizes are definitely not. ZR had some issues as well with the image quality of smaller files

Do we think Nikon ZR beats S1ii for Image quality?

Nikon ZR is a one trick pony from what I seen. But it does that trick incredibly well. If you want Red Raw in a body that can do autofocus and has ibis, the ZR is that. However, the internal H265 codec is soft on it so the image quality only looks amazing in RAW. You’ll have to commit to the R3D lar

Upgrade?

Zr would be a downgrade imo. The r3d files are a bit of a gimmick in my opinion since it's not the same as using a red camera, it's an optimised version for Nikon cameras and cuts corners to work on a 1000 dollar camera, including dynamic range among lots of other things. For example the files are 1

Nikon Zr objectively a better camera than the Fx5

If the ZR is working great for your needs, then you should continue to shoot with it. The ZR is great in many ways and the image is punching away above it's weight. However, the ZR is not better than the FX5. One could argue it's better value... but outright better? I don't think so. I own the ZR. L

Upgrade?

Got sponsored by Nikon for the cinematography of a short movie, had to use the Nikon ZR. I know the dynamic range is not the deciding factor for you, but trust me, the numbers they claim are absolutely false. I had such a hard time lighting with that camera and even while controlling every aspect of

Nikon ZR R3D in Premiere - R3D NE Secretly NRaw?

It's called R3D NE for Nikon Expeed, the processor containing asics for encoding ticoraw like all other nikon cameras recording N-Raw. It would not be possible for the ZR to record using wavelet or DCT compression like in Red bodies as it doesn't have the required asics and that would require a much

The Nikon ZR + Leica R made me enjoy filming on vacation again.

I have the ZR and the Leica r 35mm f2 and Leica r 50mm f2. Not used these lens yet out in the wild as too hard to focus in red raw without peaking ... sticking to native glass such as my Nikon 40mm f2 and Nikon 50mm s 1.8 which have great image and autofocus.. waiting patiently for the firmware upda

Nikon ZR Auto and Red

So did you have idea why they put this feature on? I Am just confussed why they put in. Dont need open gate with Nikon zr, it is already there actually. Nikon Zr use 75℅ of sensor, and have enough resolution to use what open gate is use for.
