Absolutely beautiful imagery. Some shots are very square, and some were asking if it was an opengate mode LOL

I have also been searching for the Nikon ZR DR/Latitude test, and result been a bit all over the place. I think one reason for the latitude test discrepancies is that the first reviewers were not able to use Davinci and had to use REd own software and it might have induced some errors...The Nikon Z6iii is better in the highlight than the Zr, which can't be true!!! . Their was also some talk that Nikon/RED got another stop of DR during their test/development. Below is a test side by side with the Panasonic S1ii, which is a bit of the king in terms of DR/latitude and their might be neck and neck to half a stop of exposure latitude between both. Their are little discrepancy like light positioning that make me say that. He is at 4.5 over and 3.5 under that would give about eight stops, you could give another half stop to the S1ii in the highlight. For example, CINED gave the S1ii without DR boost a solid 9. This could be because they test at 1080p. If you reduce the size from 4k to 1080p, you might get another half a stop to a stop in the shadows as it would reduce the noise. For reference most Canons are at 7 to 8 stops of latitude, the Sony Venice is a 8 stops, the RED Raptor is at 9 and the Alexa LF is at 10 stops of latitude. He also has test of the highlight rolloff and the Zr looked a little better and the flickering in the shadows. Which is not present in the REDraw file, but is in the Prores one!!! In this one, with the french tester (You can get English dub), he gets about 5 up and 3 3.5 down. You also have this korean tester with the DR test with the Xyla chart and Imatest software. He got like 13.5 in Nlog!!! And 12.9 in REDraw. His DR test starts at around 23 minutes. Last thing is that CineD responded on their page saying they had a ZR on test for a week (% days ago) but they had some problem that they were trying to resolve with Nikon.

They are from the same sensor and if the ZR can achieve the same as the S1ii, then it would already be very very good (RED Raptor territory). The S1ii has the DR boost mode which showed 10 stops of latitude, that is Alexa LF level, but with 27ms, which is not great at all.

Nice video from Nikon India.

Nice side by side test video of the ZR and RED Dragon and Komodo. As always it is the Komodo which is little bit the odd one. His latitude test was unfortunately flawed as he did not match the 18% grey exposure. The one where you overexpose is clearly too bright compared to the underexposed one. I went to watch his other video review of the Pana S1ii, and their, the base exposure was very close. Here it is easily around a good stop overexposed. I did some screen grab and looked at the RGB values as I was a bit insure if it was not my eyes playing games to me. Here he has 4.5 overexposed and 3.5 down. That is 7.5 to eight and the S1ii he had 5 above and 4 below so 9 stops of latitude. Edit: I forgot to add, he is supposed to do a test of the S1II and ZR. Hopefully he does a good latitude test with same lighting and exposure, as the S1ii has become the king of DR in that price range.

Do you have a link to the video? For me, this could be just a sharpness setting or the person might be moving slightly. One thing this tells me, is that the H265, is not as bad as some people have made it to be.

Another very nice video
-
Are these Nikon Zr footage, or just someone putting it to get views? Just a hint that these are from France, as Limoges is a well known Basket Ball team in France. Another edit, I now saw the links.

Nice video about the ZR audio capabilities. The internal mics are quite impressive for onboard mic, but the directional pattern can only be used in non RAW video.

Funny how the ZR has reached legendary status even before its launch. Youtubers getting destroyed in the comments when making some stupid comparison. This is one example, but I have seen others... if you would have told me a Nikon camera would have got so much support, I would not have believed it. They really have got some momentum, I hope they try at least to satisfy the request of the people toward the ZR, because it is their Canon 5DmarkII moment.

After all the fuss about the ZR h265, with some youtubers including Gerald Undone, high claim that the ZR h265 was unusable. I was very worried, but also perplexed because, even with my D750 24mbit 1080p footage, the h264 and nowadays Nikon H265 had been very robust and good. But until now, very few actual footage in h265 to make an opinion. Until I saw this test. Guess what, all those BShitters were exaggerating as always dunking on Nikon. In this Chinese test, from about 15.30, you have nearly every footage in h265 and the quality is good, even the 4k 120 fps in apsc. I can see every hair of those girls dancing even with YouTube compression on my 65 inch TV. I don't think you need much more for your Bride or CEO shots.

I still have problem with Gerald Undone, and this is exemplified with Canon C50 vs Nikon ZR review. I don't question his numbers, but how he interpreted them for his bias. Man pissed on the ZR t every corner, but excused the worst or the worst for Canon. The simple example is the ZR micro hdmi vs Canon C50 lack of IBIS. Yes it is an inconvenience the ZR doesn't have a full size hdmi, but it can be remedied with a 100 USD cage plus lock. But what about the lack of IBIS, you would need a full set of big supporting gear. Either a tripod, shoulder mount or gimbal. But hey, his excuse is that he talked with some first AC, and they told him that they prefer the sensor to be locked, as if the C50 principal use will be on movie sets!!!!! He is revolting, how dare Nikon put cinema on the ZR, but does he think that the ZR/C50/Fx3 will be primarily use on cinema sets!!! Is he crazy, 99.9% of their use will be in events, corporate videos, weddings, reportage, social media content creation etc. At the top you will find them used on small to average advertising production, short films, small to no budget films. And in rare case as specialist camera like crash cam, in higher end production. But again in those 99.9% cases, stabilization is a big big plus for those production. But hey, Nikon dared to put Cinema on the ZR. I mean a camera that has better image than 90% of digital camera just 5 years ago.

Yep, looks more like it. It is good if they supply this as you can get a 2TB for about same price as a 512 GB CFexpress card. But you are still left with gigantic files if you want to achieve your work. Perhaps the best solution would be in Nraw normal, then rename them to RED. Or use the Nikon RED luts.
