Yes, it seems that Nikon has really decided to go entry level camera. I don't even know the market they are aiming at, because the z6iii or even Z5ii might have better internal video specs than the ZR because of the rumored SD/MicroSd cards in the Zr. Unless they are selling lower than 2000 USD, I can't see it selling that much. Nikon users like me already have better specked camera than what we know now about the Zr. And I can't see vloggers/content creators putting more than 2k in a camera.

Nikon's own NRAW supports up to 20:1 compression ratio. But its very unlikely they do that. Its a h.265 All-I camera.

Yeah that struck me as a innovative feature and smart way of putting open gate to practical use. All in all this is a solid release: 7K60 FF, 7K30 open gate, 4K120p uncropped, 5K S35, 2.5K S16. DPAF II. RAW. CLOG2/3. 32MP stills. Dual Base ISO of 800 & 6400. $4000 with top XLR handle. I like how the handle has rec button and zoom rocker. Cons are no IBIS and no mech shutter. Hoping the claims of improved low rolling shutter are significant.

I don't know, but REDcode uses RED processors, I remember the guy from RED saying how the Nikon one, that is the Xpeed, was super efficient.

If it has the RedCode, I don't see how it could not overheats without fan writing 1.4 Gb at MQ. Is Nikon blending the laws of physic?

Zero overheating even in 6k 60p raw. But I live in Scandinavia so take that with a grain of salt. Sadly riddled by moiré though, other than that an amazing camera. Extremely disappointed that Nikons first “cinema” camera seems to be catering to the “content creating” vlog crowd. The only thing that could possibly save this is some sort of new ultra efficient red raw codec and a brilliant OLPF.

So it was the camera in that German video but from that photos, it's not a cinema camera.

Maybe. What's the z6iii overheating like?

No, there is no air vent. As I said before its Nikon's ZV-E1, not FX3.

Nikon rumors have the image, that screen look quite big. Not sure if this one have fan cause I didn't see any air vent

What sensor do you think this is? New one? Can’t be eos r or r7 right?

Recording 2 different ratio (1:1/16:9/9:16 etc) to 2 card... that is something new!

also on the photo I posted the viltrox logo is on the left, but on the product photos of the adapter the logo's on the top?

Who needs embargoes? Preview in Italian (turn on English subtitles):

I love how the rumor said dual cfexpress while leaked photo clearly show cfexpress and SD marking

It doesn't even say full frame anymore?

Other than "open gate" and "extra CF Express slot," that list sounds like a less good R5C. You can go spend $800 less (new) or more than $1,000 less (used) and get all the same, but with 8Kp60 raw video and 45 megapixel still images. Oh, and burst photo rate. R5C matches R5, IIRC, and maxes out at 20? Doubt that's a big selling point on a cinema line camera, though. (Broken record: But make that 7K DGO and...)

If it can do 60fps at 16:9, max burst should have been higher than 40fps. I guess video is 12bit read out.

Canon Rumors put these as his spec, I think he changed it form before as he state he did put some bad spec before. Canon Cinema EOS C50 Basic Specifications 7K 60P Internal RAW 4K 120P (No Crop) Open Gate 32.3MP Still Photo Resolution 40FPS Max Burst Rate Dual CFexpress Type B Card Slots Single SD Card Slot Dual Pixel CMOS AF II Dual Base ISO Sub $4000 USD (Rough Currency Conversion)

I'm definitely no electronic engineer, but the 10-15x estimate seems high to me. A sensor that is 2-4x the size and with 2x the photosites of the C70 would presumably cost more than the C70 sensor (oversized S35), but 15x seems awfully extreme. At its core, it's primarily just a second output channel from each photosite that gets amplified differently and then the two are merged with an extremely simple algorithm. The extra processing requirements for that are not all that high - and, again, a fairly small camera from 2020 was able to do it at 4K with no problem.

OK, the new Canon looks good, despite the spec not yet fully known and I suspect the Nikon ZR will also be competitive so Lumix, over to you, - how is that S1H coming along because the time to pop it out would be immediately after the other kids do otherwise you risk all the newly found brand hoppers, hopping in their direction?

IBIS for me was a total game changer, and it's crazy that no one has been able to come close to Lumix in this department.

Full-frame DGO on the C50 is technically possible, but the thermal load from dual-gain readout at 32MP + 6K open gate would be extreme in a compact FX3 style body. On top of that, the production cost would skyrocket.. a FF DGO sensor could easily be 10–15× more expensive than an S35 DGO sensor, not counting the extra cooling, processor, and CFexpress requirements. That’s why I think Canon will likely stick to triple ISO + oversampled 6K and skip DGO.

Indeed! If it isn't a DGO sensor, I'm not too certain that I have a reason to care about this camera much. It's not to say it'd be bad, just that it wouldn't do much that's better/different from cameras I already own - and 3:2 recording isn't a big selling point for me. I'm not sure that DGO needs that much more bandwidth, though. The C70 could do it from 4K all the way back in 2020. Surely, we've come far enough in 5 years that it could now be done on a smaller body with 3-4x the data rate! 😉 Anyway, I'm hopeful.
