Here it is. There is no such thing as the worlds "best" camera. My take on the ZR is focused on what it has vs what it lacks.
We are talking about a 6k 12 bit sensor capable of filming a version of Red Raw at up to 60FPS. On top of that you get 32 bit float internal recording!
Like, think about it. You could put that set up in a tissue box and sell it to me for $2100 and i would gladly take it.
All these influencers complaining about ergonomics, lack of XLR inputs, or no full size HDMI, clearly are focusing on the wrong things.
If thats the only things that are important to you then this is the wrong camera. But if you are looking for 12 bit red raw codec in a tiny body. This is it. Matches well with the rest of our Red cameras.
Are the files huge? Uh...yeah its filming in 12 bit red raw. Its what you get when you use this format.
5 stars for me for Nikon Red slamming this much power in a tiny body. Used it on two documentary shoots matched with our red komodo and its fantastic.
XLR unit available soon through tascam and there are plenty of cages that will make the ergonomics on this better! You find me a cinema camera that doesnt need to be kitted out. Ill wait.
