Ever since Nikon’s surprise announcement that it was buying high-end cinema camera maker Red in March 2024, we’ve been eagerly awaiting to see the outcome of the collaboration between two of the biggest and most respected names in photography and video. Now we have the answer: the Nikon ZR… It's the first camera in the new Nikon 'Z Cinema line', which combines Nikon’s camera hardware with Red’s expertise in high-end cinema.
The Nikon ZR is based heavily on the Nikon Z6 III full-frame camera, with the same 24.5Mp full-frame partially stacked sensor and all the autofocus finery and subject detection abilities that we’ve come to expect from Nikon Z-series cameras, recognizing and tracking nine distinct subject types with unerring accuracy. Five-axis In-body image stabilization allows for up to 7.5 stops of vibration reduction to counter shake, for ultra-smooth handheld video.
