So, Nikon has launched the first camera in its Z Cinema line in the shape of the Nikon ZR, and make no mistake, it's making some statement, packing the moviemaking expertise of Red (the high-end video company it recently acquired) with Nikon's cutting-edge camera tech and the sublime optical performance of the Z mount, all at a price that severely undercuts the competition from Canon and Sony. It's going to do very well indeed.
But while it may be the first Z Cinema-branded camera and is certainly Nikon's first full-frame camera aimed, first and foremost, at videographers, it's not the first videocentric interchangeable lens camera that Nikon has created: that honor goes to the Nikon Z30.
