ZR

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

It makes sense if you want the most compact possible full frame Z camera. The ZR with a pancake lens is in the Fuji X100 size class. (Similar height / width, somewhat greater depth.) I've wanted a Nikon "Z3" from the get go, and this is probably as close as we're gonna get.

Lots of reasons. Start with: High-end cinema cameras are primarily for high-end cinema, viewed on a large high resolution screen from 1-2x screen width. And more precisely, for high-end cinema where you are shooting an actual practical scene, and not shooting a single subject to be composited onto a

Actually, the ZR will have the following advantages over the Nikon Z8: lighter (by 1/3 weight) slightly better battery life larger built-in display (I think also a full rotating display that Z8 doesn't have) RED RAW video better low light performance (from dual ISO, larger ISO range, and larger pixe

Blackmagic 6K FF, 6K Pro pros: Better color science, BRAW. 6k pro has built in ND's. 6K FF has beta AF. Blackmagic cons: battery life, heavier, no autofocus (6k pro), low light. Sony FX3 Pros: lightweight, battery life, autofocus, low light king. Sony FX3 Cons: No in-body RAW, color science. Nikon Z

I found that limiting lenses and taking a smaller body work well for me. I take a either 28-70mm lens or a 40mm lens depending on what I plan to shoot/how much flexibility I think I’ll need and my Nikon ZR these days if I don’t want a specific bag for the bigger body and multiple lenses. Pretty easy

Don't overthink it, just get it. I was overthinking as well because of the reviews and ended up getting it. For your use case it is perfect as it is the best image in the most compact body aside from the Nikon zr, which is a lot more expensive, but even then the s9 is better for your use case. Pair

It’s the best value at the price. The only “cons” I see are Z mount and no open gate. Micro HDMI is a head scratcher choice. But those are nitpicks Otherwise everything else for that price point is unbeatable. The only reason I’d take a BMCC 6K over it (whilst BMCC6K costs more) is for open gate, L

I know this is barely mentioned with this lens, but I held the Sony variant in my hand next to the Nikon and the later feels like half the weight while they look almost identical from the outside. Except for the printing on out ofc. The ZR is considerably lighter too.

The Nikon ZR does not have open gate as of now. The camera is absolutely meant as a raw camera, especially the r3d raw ne. If you want to use this camera as your main camera, you have to know what you're getting into. Your list of cameras you are currently using makes it seem that your clients reall
