Should Nikon make a Z series rangefinder?

You mean a rangefinder styled camera? Fujis aren’t rangefinders. Actual good quality rangefinders are very difficult and expensive to manufacture. I don’t think Nikon has it in them. They don’t even have any rangefinder lenses… A ZR with an EVF would be kind neat but it would essentially be the Zf w

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

Should I buy Nikon ZR?

I don't think there's much point getting the ZR and not using raw. You could get pretty similar stuff out of any modern Nikon camera - a Z5ii or even Z50ii would probably be fine for content creation, a Z6iii or Z8 would be great but possibly overkill. You've mentioned you shoot canon - have you loo

Nikon ZR firmware update ?

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...

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

Nikon ZR good for photography?

No EVF, not really designed for hand-holding (barely any grip). It's basically a Z6III with more video codecs and color options, though I think the Red colors will work on stills, not sure. And 32-bit float audio. No dedicated ISO button, a lot less buttons and controls in fact. Doesn't seem like th

Lumix s1ii or Nikon Zr ? What should I get as a beginning filmmaker and videographer?

S1II is waaay more beginner friendly. ZR is a god tier camera, but it has a major issue: the compressed formats are terrible, so you’re forced to film in R3D NE, which is so large it’s completely impractical. Nikon says they’re fixing this, but you should never buy something because of promised feat

Upgrading camera for freelance video work: FX3, Nikon ZR, or stretch for the new FX5?

Funny, I also have the Fuji X-s20 and honestly love it to death, I've made several films with it including a strange surreal b&w short that I'm currently wrapping up. I don't do any commercial work at all, I make experimental films and essay films. And now that I've reached the limits of the camera

Nikon ZR for €1,487 on OnBuy – Too good to be true or a great deal?

Even in Malaysia, the Nikon ZR costs 8,990 RM, or 1,900 €. Why would it be 400 € cheaper in Europe? In any case, the warranty provider will be the Malaysian supplier.

Coming soon: new fast, top-of-the-line, high-end, professional Nikon APS-C (DX) camera - Nikon Rumors

This doesn't make much sense, because if it's high-resolution and high-speed then it would have to be priced into the full frame territory and that makes for a messy lineup. Basically what happened with the Fujifilm X-H series, no bodies cares if it's the best APS-C ever when it's costing full frame
