ZR

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

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,

Meanwhile Nikon ZR users constantly complain about the file sizes of RAW. With the cost of data storage today, I'd much rather have compressed RAW then a full day shoot requiring 7tb's of hard drive space.

I’m curious why Nikon puts two different type of card slots on their bodies (with some exceptions). First, it's the other way around: different slots are the exception. Nikon has made 15 matched slot cameras, and 12 with different slots. It just so happens that they've done it a lot more lately than

Alright, let’s break this down.APPLE PRORES RAW is finally running smoothly in DaVinci Resolve 20.2. Yeah, the files are huge, BUT LUMIX is literally the only brand that lets you dump those massive files straight onto an external SSD.And honestly—unless you’re shooting FEATURE FILMS or some insanely

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

The Nikon ZR is a bloggers camera not a pro cinema camera. Weird card slot choices, no full size HDMI? The S1ii is still a better option to me.

I'd pick something small and lightweight. Next thing would be file size, something on the lightweight side would be my preference. For that reason alone I'd skip the Nikon ZR. Personally I'd take the ZV-E1 but only because I own it 🤷🏽‍♂️ Best of luck!

I actually think, with the new FX5 out that can shoot Raw in a very compressed codec (C2), Nikon will HAVE to offer a more compressed R3D, not just a H265 in Log3G10... otherwise people will not buy the ZR. Of course, the ZR is less than half of the price of the FX5, but still...

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
