    Nikon Zr is coming

    The best test so far

    Michelle Wai is advertising ZR? Its a first for Nikon https://bilibili.com/video/BV1PGs7zvEXu

    It is, but when exposed 2 stop ETTR. The NR is not fixed, and changes with S/N ratio, apparently.

    Canon does nothing, or at least none of the above, and own 50% of the market. Just because of this global perception that the red brand is the Toyota of camera industry. Perception is key when it comes to business.
  5. Business wise, its way easier for them to make lower priced MF body than start a FF body from scratch and face 3 giants right out of the gate. Also it sends a wrong message to their customers: "both APSC and MF we pushed all these years, aren't best choices, either in image quality or practicality".

    Everything attached to this camera eclipses the body 😄

    That doesn't make sense. Tweaking sensor can't happen in few months, and it will be so expensive that it would be more feasible to make a new sensor from scratch. I don't believe they're different sensors. But the pipeline has been changed for sure. Maybe a new debayer algorithm and chroma noise reduction provided by RED is implemented.

    NR is stronger on ZR, but its not just NR. There should be something else.

    Its so rare with Nikon that I can say it never happens. They may fix a couple of bugs, but tweaking features and performance after announcement date and before shipping date? Very unlikely.

    RAW Momentum?

    The average buyer doesn't even need 10bit and log profiles. Most of them hate color grading. A TikTok girl I follow was asking the followers the other day to help her find a camera that has good color science and doesn't need grading, because she has no time for that.

    At ISO 6400, ZR is way better than Komodo X, and equal to S1ii. With noise reduction, even ISO 25600 is useable. And thats what matters for the target market. They're mostly one man with no or very limited lighting equipment. Underexposing and lifting the shadows in post is not what they usually do. Its good to have lower noise floor, but you don't want to go much down there anyway. Because despite less noise, you're still dealing with poor SN ratio, due to shot noise, which is inevitable side effect of underexposure. That's why much of R&D money in CMOS sensor industry is directed to improvement in saturation level (more room for overexposure), and solve the noise problem with AI.

    People are using Z5ii, a $1700 camera, to shoot raw video, with changing extension hack. 4k30p, 450mb/s on SD. Yea its soft, but its filmic soft. I like this approach when I don't want to deal with massive files.
