Nikon Revolutionizes Cinema Camera Market with New ZR: RED Technology Meets Z-Mount Innovation
A New Era in Digital Cinema
Nikon Corporation has officially announced the release of the ZR, a full-frame sensor camera and the smallest model in the Z CINEMA series, designed for cinema, high-end productions and creators.
Revolutionary Features and Technology
The ZR comes equipped with a full-frame sensor and features R3D NE, a new video recording file format based on RED’s R3D RAW video recording codec, developed exclusively for Nikon cameras. It utilizes color science and exposure standards of RED cameras to ensure accurate color matching.
The camera boasts impressive capabilities, including recording up to 6K/60p (59.94p) and features the new R3D NE RAW video file format with RED color science. It delivers an exceptional 15+ stops of dynamic range.
Design and Usability
The ZR features a blocky, EVF-free design with squared edges, reminiscent of a RED Komodo or Sony FX3. One of its most distinctive features is a large top-mounted screen, functioning almost like a built-in field monitor. This design choice clearly indicates the camera’s focus on filmmakers rather than photographers.
Professional Features and Workflow
Users have the flexibility to shoot in various formats including N-RAW, ProRes RAW, and others to suit their production needs. The camera includes a new view assist function, allowing storage and selection of up to ten LUTs in the camera. This enables users to preview color grade effects in real time using the monitor. The system supports three types of LUT data (17-point, 33-point, 65-point).
Market Position and Availability
The Nikon ZR Cinema Camera will be available in late October 2025, priced at $2,199.95 USD for the body only. Nikon positions this as an entry-level digital cinema camera designed for emerging cinematographers and high-end content producers.
Through this release and their acquisition of RED Digital Cinema, Nikon and RED have created an ecosystem that can effectively compete with industry giants Sony and Canon.
