ZR

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

Quick note since many of your points are video recording specific: Likely in a bid to split the capabilities of cameras, Nikon also made the ZR, which is basically a Z6iii with no viewfinder and some shaving off of camera features in exchange for loads of video specific features, including 3D LUT. B

Last 3-4 years minimum is crazy, I just took a 10 year old Nikon D810 to Antartica and it was perfect and I made some beautiful prints more than two feet wide. Z8 is my pick for a new camera, I can’t wait until it arrives! Z8, ZR, Z6iii are all awesome hybrid cameras, in descending budget. ZR being

Agreed. I would like to see Lumix put the S1II insides into a FX3/C50 body, add an OLPF, NR settings, RAW with different compression ratios and price it below $4000. IMO it would be perfect. I also feel they should do it ASAP, because Nikon can disrupt that category if they release a higher end vers

The Z8 has more pixels and faster e-shutter for stills. It uses Nikon's pro-style bank system. It also is better at maximum dynamic range (for landscapes, for example). The Z6iii/ZR have fewer pixels and faster e-shutter for video. It uses Nikon's prosumer-style user preset system (similar to your Z

I’d save your money for now and just try using the ZR for wildlife photography. That should tell you where your pain points are. Specification-wise, the ZR is plenty capable of wildlife photography. Make sure you take the time to learn the autofocus settings, because those will carry over to most ot

But I remember in his Nikon ZR vs Sony FX3 video, he was preferring Nikon ZR in most of the aspects and said fx3 footage looks so bad compared to ZR.Didn’t seem like so much of a Sony fanboy then

Hey there! I have a BMCC 6k and the Nikon ZR. The ZR is incredibly run and gun friendly. Fast set up with any style of shooting. Will be a beast on the gimbal for sure. I prefer BMs menus as they’re more cinema driven, whereas the ZR is very much a photo/video hybrid menu. In terms of dynamic range

Just keep what you have unless you can get into one of the Expeed 7 bodies, that is where you will notice a positively enormous difference in Nikon land (ZF, Z50II, Z5II, Z6III, Z8, Z9, ZR). If budget is tight, consider a Z5II, it is the newest entry level full frame Nikon Z camera with Expeed 7 and

Hard pass on the Komodo for weddings. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an affordable true cinema camera, but a cinema camera is the last thing I’d want to shoot a wedding with. It’s slow, data hungry, finicky with temp changes, expensive to accessorize, and doesn’t have autofocus. I like working with r3d mo
